As the title says, how it is possible to switch the automatic mod download off while you are in the lobby, arranged teams?

Because I have so much fucking mods I never will play and it needs a lot of time to delete them. And this makes no sense due to it downloads again if I am back in the lobby...a vicous circle!!

Thanks, but this switches just the aesthetics off, not the download. COH2 still downloads mods I dont want to have.

"Unsubscribe" from the Mods listed in game (Modding Hub -> Manage).

I just tried joining a modded game lobby with Custom Aesthetics turned off, and it still downloaded several non-tuning mods.

The only solutions I can think of are to either ~~not join modded lobbies~~ (actually that would only stop the game from downloading a few different kinds of mods, like tuning), or to maybe change the permissions on your mod folder (haven't tried). (see my next post for update)

It looks like victory strikes (and maybe others?) are downloaded regardless of your preferences to prevent sync errors.

I will give it a try! ty

I did a bit of experimenting and it looks like turning Custom Aesthetics "off" prevents things like decals and skins from downloading. It seems only the required mods (like custom victory strikes and custom maps) will be downloaded.

Since setting Custom Aesthetics to "off" prevents aesthetic mod downloads, there wouldn't be any benefit to changing your decal/skin/etc mod folder permissions. Changing the permissions on the fatalities/gamemode/etc folders would likely cause a sync error if you try to play a custom game without all the required mods.

You could try only joining custom games marked as unmodded (not sure if this accounts for all kinds of mods), but someone with mods could easily join after you do and force a download.

So basically, you can reduce how much you download with the Custom Aesthetics option, or you can stop the downloads completely by not playing custom games.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
