I am having an error when trying to find a mod to install. It tells me "failed to download mods list" and when I hover over it, it shows the error "API call failed:(path:'api/mods',status:520)"

I have the steam client of the game. I have verified all files. It is properly linked to my steam account via the website. I have rebooted my pc and router. I have also tried all of the above with every version available to select in the list. I am unable to find what the error code means using google and nobody in the discord was able to help with the issue. Any info you could provide to figuring out this error would be helpful.
Thanks.

Does it work when you open the URL from the log in a web browser? Since no one but you reported the issue it is likely a network issue on your side.
