No maps and most mods gone....

[Abydos_1]

Ok, been awhile since I last played and thought today I would relax with some cities. Alas, I can't even start a new game, because there is no freaking maps in my game, other than from DLC's I don't have, go figure! No standard maps, no custom maps, even the maps I have created myself and subscribed to is missing, wtf!??

Also, it shows I have 6 out 10 mods enabled, while I used to have something like 25 mods installed. Did they get deleted from new patch / expansion or something? If so, a friendly reminder that was the case would have been nice!

There is a common bug with Steam that when it wants to update it often messes with mods. Close your game, close out of Steam and start it all back up again. Steam will update and should fix the issue. If that doesn't work you might need to do a full reinstall of CSL.

Also, all your mods will be outdated. Some may be updated by their authors for the 1.7 patch, others may have been abandoned, in which case you cannot use them, I'm sorry.

Aye, I ended up with checking file integrity, and 610 files was missing. Probably due to update / expansion. Good thing I ain't on a limited line, like some have where they pay extra above the limit. I knew the fix was probably easy (e.g. re-install, repair installation) I just needed to vent a bit, because there is no message, no nothing at all mentioning this or that. Just a broken installation. And I left it at that. Didn't have the time nor inclination of starting to re-install mods etc. etc. Just wanted to relax after a hard day, so ended up playing something else
