After trying to reconnect to server multiple times without success, he then decided to restart rf2, and immediately after restarted rf2, rf2 starting to uninstall everything forcefully. One of my teammates just had triggered this issue(first time for him) and had all mods uninstalled and reinstalled by game.īefore triggering the issue, he was participating a LFM race in qualify session, then suddenly he had a network issue and dropped out of server.

And since game was already uninstalling & reinstalling everything, there isn't a point to do integrity check again, which would take another half hour of time, that players will miss their races.Ī little update to the situation of the issue: And if I'm not mistaken, deleting ACF file will cause steam to re-download all subscribed mods forcefully again(hundreds of GB of downloads), which is the opposite of what we are trying solve. Since steam wasn't trying to delete, download, or update mod files, there is no reason to delete ACF file. In fact, we have players who just played game a few minutes ago without any issue, but right after they restarted the game, game began to uninstall everything without any sensible reason, and there was nothing steam was trying to download or update in the meantime.ģ. Before triggering rf2 auto-force-reinstall, every subscribed workshop and DLC mods were downloaded, installed, and running perfectly fine in game. There was no change to the local workshop files.Ģ. Only the game was uninstalling and reinstalling everything from game folder. Before, while, and after triggering rf2 auto-force-reinstall, Steam was not downloading mod, or updating mod & game, it was not deleting any workshop mod files from workshop folder. You have mentioned that steam is trying to download and update files, however this doesn't seem to match our experience.ġ.
