how to make steam workshop stop downloading updates

Then I watch my SSD free space shrink down from 100+ GB to ~ 15 GB (!!!) then Steam Client indicates it is validating the ARMA 3 Workshop Content. I subscribe to it and Steam client says there is 29.7 GB to download and update. So I tried to reinstall some of the bigger mods such as CUP.

I physically goto my !workshop folder to take a peek and it shows 2500+ folders! It may be a Steam Workshop Subscription Limit?! It worked for all the mods that were listed but the launcher is still missing a bunch of mods, even though I checked and the files are physically on my SSD.Įdit - I look at ARMA 3 Launcher and it lists 300+ mods from Steam Workshop. Then Steam seems to update fix all the smaller mods, even though I had to RIGHT CLICK on the the mods in the ARMA LAUNCHER to repair it. I free up about 100+ GB off my 960 GB SSD. I kept some smaller mods as I didn't think it would be an issue or the mission files. I uninstalled the bigger collection of mods like RHS, CUP, IFA, and etc. I then attempted to fix my Steam Workshop collection by unsubscribing and deleting some mods off the SSD as I suspect it was a free space issue. its mainly ARMA 3 and Steam Workhop, not Steam with ARMA 3. I don't have any issue with other games such as Killing Floor, any of the Valve games, BF, or etc. I've had many Steam update issues with ARMA 3 only in the past, just check this sub forum and BIS Wizard has helped me a lot.

So I had recently fixed ARMA on my computer and was able to play the basic game, no mods.
