Build 42.9.0 Mod list bugged

[sick lava]

Switched from B41 to B42 now, opened "mods" tab in the main menu, and I see 0 mods and only one error popup in the corner of ym screen. Then, I checked and unchecked the "show enabled mods" option there, and mods DID appear, but... They all have red crosses, and these mods' names are in red colour.

Wtf? It didn;t happen before. I played B41 with mod manager mod enabled and switched to B42 without disabling this mod just fine before, so it might not be a problem now. However, just to be sure, I opened the "default.txt" file in "C:\Users\ (my user) \Zomboid\mods" anddeleted the mod's name that was writted there, so it looked like this now:

VERSION = 1,

mods
{
}

maps
{
}

So I assume that these mods showing up in red color and not showing up without cvhecking and unchecking "show enabled mods" option, is an issue that's caused by something else now, and not by some mod.
Also, only a half of B42-compatible mods now show up in the mod list, I dunno why not all of those that I've sun=bscribed to and that are compatible with B42 do but that's it... Anything I can do to fix this issue?

Here's another error I've seen popping up just now when just opening the" mods" tab in the main menu

[sick lava]

Wait

But I disabled it already and it shouldn't pre-load now when launching B42 zomboid

[full swan]

i just did a Full unsubscribe clean delete and reinstall for build 42.9.0 ( might advsie doing the same? )

[sick lava]

Nvm, same started happening in B41 too now

I switched to B41, and these are the only 2 mods in my mod list:

Like wtf

I'm subscribed to a TON of them, not just 2

[sick lava]

Even this didn't help for some reason

Wth? There used to be all these mods, it even downloaded sth from the workshop a hour ago, but this folder's empty

(except just this one cheat menu mod's there)

[full swan]

it a reddit link for the instruction did you delete all these sections? https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1l9cya4/freezing_character_bug_when_zombie_touches_me/

[sick lava]

But it's for a different bug tho

[full swan]

To confirm that the issue is not due to any leftover game files, can you try doing a full reinstall?

Unsubscribe from all mods
uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there.

After that, go to “C:\Users\%UserProfile%\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.

Then just install the game again and see if that helps.

[sick lava]

I'd try to though, thanks

[full swan]

unviseral fix

[full swan]

nuke from orbit start again fix

[sick lava]

But if I go there, then unsub from all workshop items, wont they disappear from the list and ill have to re-sub to them one by one?

[full swan]

make a collection

[full swan]

get modmanger

[full swan]

and madmanage rload from collection

[sick lava]

Oh alr then

thanks

[full swan]

browse collection button on right had side

[full swan]

make sure the steam mods folder is empty after unsub

[sick lava]

Kk ill see if it works rn

(clean-reinstalling the game now atm)

[full swan]

if it still doesn't work pure vanilla, at least then tech support will check your logs for you

[sick lava]

Now, mods that got downloaded yesterday look like this in steam...

And only "mod template" is visible in the mods tab though

[full swan]

unsubscribe from them? there should be none in the list. THEN run the game once, then grab consol.txt and log.zip from zomboid folder, make a new report with the logs and axplanation of what if going wrong with your Vanilla game.

[sick lava]

I did what's said in the instructions
The problem's fixed now, thank you

When these "ghost" mods appeared in my subscribed mods' list, I've unsubbed to them, cleaned drive C/users/my user/zomboid folder and zomboid's folder in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600, then i checked PZ files' integrity and re-subbed to my mods again and everything was fixed then

[full swan]

good news 🙂
