Factorio Forums

I have had a "Notice: download failed" error when trying to update and/or install mods since .13.10. I have uninstalled all mods and even reinstalled the game from scratch. Since the devs have decided to remove the mods from the forums in .13.10 I have no way to access them. I have previously used the portal without issue until the patch. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: So as not to double post - Just to be clear. This isn't an occasional thing happening. I am completely unable to use the in game mod portal AT ALL for weeks now. It flat out will not download updates/new mods no matter how many times I've tried over multiple times of the day.

It's a known problem that is being worked on.
As a workaround you can download them directly from https://mods.factorio.com and put them in the mods folder manually.

Thank you. I was unaware that it is a known issue. I hunted around for a post about it but couldn't find one. And I was under the impression that they moved all of the mods to portal only as per a post from the devs a while back. I didn't think the mods on the site were up dated anymore.

Known issue? Occasionally, mods.factorio.com goes down too. I get the same error as well, which makes me assume that the portal is getting hammered down pretty hard.

Ok ... except this isn't an occasional thing. I have been unable to use it at all since the launch of .13.10. I have tried at least 30 times during many different times of day. I have not gotten it to work at all.

So for verification... What exactly is the known problem here?
I am seeing : "There was a mismatch on the mod portal in verifying your username and token. Please login again" whenever I attempt to use the "Mods" manager in game.

To which I do the following:

> Enter correct info
( returned to mods screen with no action ...)
> Install mods
...
(Big list appears)
> Pick a mod >INSTALL<
...
"There was a mismatch on the mod portal in verifying your username and token..."
> Enter correct info again
( returned to mods screen with no action. Mod not installed )

> Exit Game
> Reset Forums and factorio.com (update) password to be identical
> Verify both are working in Chrome
> Repeat. Identical result.

I've tested bad / wrong info which immediately redisplays the login request. It is the correct login that returns me to 'mods' with no action.

As you can guess I've spent a stupid amount of time on this bug, thinking I had misconfigured something...

This forum post is my last attempt at verifying that "No your configuration is fine, but the 'mods' button is sadly bugged in the way you describe".

Thanks.
