Intro/Background of Mods Not Updating Issue
This guide will go over the easiest and sure-fire way to ensure your mods are on the most up to date version.

Men of War Assault Squad 2 has a common problem of workshop mods not properly updating. This leads players to have mismatching versions and troubles resolving such issues.

The root of this issue is bad code that separates mod instances of the steam workshop and game files and does not check properly for updates from steam workshop over game files. This also leads to bloat in space usage so it is recommended to clear out both directories of old mods/versions from time to time. Your workshop files are almost always updated, however the game did not copy the files over to game files and thus does not show up in game. The process of copying is the "Mounting Mod Resources Splash". The solution is to manually copy the files, thus skipping the check. This is also faster than sitting through the mounting mod resources on larger mods.
How to Find The Steam Workshop Directory and Specific Mods for MOWAS2
The steam workshop directory for the game will be located in the same drive as your game instillation. By default this is the C drive (C:\). However, be sure to check which drive the game is located on.

You can manually click through the folders using the step below or copy and paste this address line into your file explorer address bar. -
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244450

  • Drive (C:)
  • Steam/SteamLibrary
  • steamapps
  • workshop
  • content
  • 244450

From there every mod has a unique numeric code. You can check through each of the files and open the mod.info file in a text editor to check the name. You can also update the max version of the game the mod is compatible to here too. One can also tell by memorable file names inside the folders.
How to Find The Mods Folder for MOWAS2
The mods directory for the game will be located in the same drive as your game instillation. By default this is the C drive (C:\). However, be sure to check which drive the game is located on.

You can manually click through the folders using the step below or copy and paste this address line into your file explorer address bar. - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Men of War Assault Squad 2\mods

  • Drive (C:)
  • Steam/SteamLibrary
  • steamapps
  • common
  • Men of War Assault Squad 2
  • mods

From there every mod is labeled as whatever the author call the actual file in mod.info.
How to Update from Workshop Files
  • Select and copy the contents from the workshop directory.
  • Paste the contents to the specific mod folder under the mods directory.
  • Update the specific mod folders name in the mods directory based on what is listed on the mod.info file from the workshop folder.
  • Apply mods as normal.

Here is an example of robz realism following the previous step above.

Also make sure your disk is not full. Its possible that it is failing to copy over fully. Its odd that the 1.28 ace 75mm is in, but the define is not correct.

It would suggest to me that you have an in between version.

Interesting. Unsubscribe from all Robz Realism mods. Delete all the relevatnt files in both the game and workshops directory. Restart Steam. Then resub to the main Robz Realims file. This should work.

If its something you download from the workshop or it simply has an outdated version number then yes.

You're a godsend, thanks fam. No more re-downloading Robz every time there's a tiny update.
