I have the same problem, the Mod Vault manager seems to work for me though, except I cannot use it for the SupCom music mod.

bumping this highly annoying issue. Whenever I host a game the mods are cleared. If I join someone elses game it is sometimes ok. If I play ranked it is ok.

I fixed it yesterday after I had an unpleasant experience in a game after enabling UI-mods in lobby (atm it takes reload game to get them active).

Seems like the problem been here since at least 3603 so it's' not a new one.

There's a bug with UI-mods not loading / unloading after you change it in the mod manager.

Fixed in next release

I disagree, after I select it from the faf mod vault window, it does update the game.prefs - so it is selected as active. And it's not file permissions.

It also works if done in game lobby, or in game extras mode... but it also gets wiped when you launch the next custom game.

The problem is when you launch the custom game ... it wipes the prefs file then ... so its either
a) something wrong there (faf client writing bad data? or game lobby rewriting game prefs for some reason?)
b) something wrong when the faf client read the game.prefs file in the first place... after that faf client just writes its blank values to game prefs

thanks again

game prefs attached

Gathering from your logs, the mod is being loaded right (It's in your games virtual file system), but for some reason it's not being selected as active.

It may be an issue with the lobby not being able to write to your game.prefs file, but it doesn't show in your forever.log (It ought to, if it failed).

Can you upload your game.prefs file as well, and does it work if you select the UI mod once inside the lobby, for custom games? I'm assuming that it does

log 1 - open faf, enable mod in mod vault, close mod window, reopen mod window (its not active), enable it again and close window. close faf.

log 2 - open faf, enable mod in mod vault, close mod window. game.prefs has mod. start custom game (get to game lobby but dont launch it). mod is missing from game.prefs now. close game and faf.

thanks sheeo

This sounds like a bug.

if i close the mod vault window my game.prefs has the mod active.
if i host a custom game the game.prefs is overwritten with no mods active (as FA launches)

If i use the mod vault manager and make some selections, close the window and open it again - my selections are lost instantly
