Assets Turning Off Randomly

[Matthias King]

Is there a limit to the number of assets you can have in the parks category?

I ask because things have been turning off randomly. I'll load up a save and notice that certain park assets have disappeared. Then when I quit to main menu and go to the assets panel, they're still there, but they've turned themselves off so they don't show up.

Anyone know what the problem is?

I have noticed similar behaviour when I delete assets using the Content Manager.

I have 150+ assets and not all are turned on. If I delete assets from the Content Manager then these on/off switches get mixed up. My theory being that when an asset disappears from the list, the following assets move up one. But its as though the on/off switch doesn't move with the asset, if you see what I mean. Deleting assets in the Steam client or using a browser works as expected though. Maybe your problem is similar?

It's hard to say. That's as good a theory as any, but I'm not sure what may have been added or taken away in between some of my assets turning off.

I did have a couple of assets which I guess updated. It's hard to tell because, as far as I know, there's no way to see what Steam just downloaded. CS is the only game I have on Steam, so when it shows something downloading at the bottom, I know it has to be an update to an asset, I just don't know how to check afterward. On a side note, if anyone knows how to check that, I'd appreciate it.

As for my assets turning off on their own, you may be right. I just don't know how to reliably test it.

I think you're right. I had the same problem and it occurred right after I had deleted and unsubscribed to some assets.

@Mattias king I check by going to the workshop page in either the steam client or a browser, then choose "browse" then "subscribed items" from the menu, and then set the sorting method to be "date updated". You will now see a list of your assets/mods when they were updated

Good tip. I think I did that once before, but it was kind of by accident and I didn't realize how I did it afterward. Thanks.
