April 1st broke the workshop, but may 20th just killed it

Workshop Discussion

Since the option became available, ive been using the copy settings button to store all of my custom game modes separately on my pc.

This used to work. I used to be able to just copy all and press the orange plus sign next to the generate workshop code to paste all the settings and data that I had worked on.

Since april 1st, in some ironic chain of events, the editor gets confused because there are now multiple core gamemodes like escort and hybrid with the same name. This results in the “invalid gamemode” error message whenever you try to load anything with that includes core gamemodes.

Up until May 20th, I found a way to make only the escort core gamemode work… but now even THAT is broken aswell.

I would say i’ve given up, but that has been the standard for a long while now with this.
My expectations were to never receive a single update for the workshop ever again, and I made peace with that assumption. But this is literally just regressing back to when the workshop was never even functional to begin with.

If you’re not going to update this unique opportunity for people to express themselves, at least dont break it further… Please…

if you really need to recover / work on those snippets. then based off what you’ve said. all you should need to do is change the Gamemode in the snippet.

copy the snippet of a fresh version of the mode that target snippet uses. and change the stored snippets gamemode text field to whatever the fresh snippet has it as.

if its still broken. thats means blizzard changed the way they load but not the way they save, which makes zero sense as its probably controlled with the same thing in the code (or at least it should be) & theres nothing you can do if thats the case.
