TIFU by modding Cyberpunk2077

Submitted by SatinMatthy t3_z69zpx in tifu

So first of all I'd like to say this was a very stupid mistake on my part.

So I've been troubleshooting to get the game to launch for almost 4 hours when I said ''Fuck it'' and started to delete the files containing mods.

Now this is fine and all with the smaller files but I deleted the whole ''archive'' folder which is like 60 gigabytes when in reality I olny needed to delete the file within the ''archive'' file called ''mod''.

Of course I only noticed this after I'd already told steam to verify the integrity of game files. I noticed because it started a 60GB download.

I then paused that download and recovered the ''archive'' from the recycle bin . I hoped that after I verified the integrity again steam would realize that the files are there.

This was not the case.

So now I have to download 60GB worth of files I already have.

(TLDR: I deleted my games main folder and now I have to essentially re-download the whole game.)

Why is downloading 60GB a fuckup? It's a minor inconvenience at best.

Yeah well my download speed doesn't even reach 1MB/s most of the time. And it's a fuckup because I would only have had to download like ~500MB of deleted stuff if I didn't delete the whole archive folder

There are a LOT of places, even in wealthy countries, with absolutely abysmal internet service (Australia and USA come to mind)

If this fuckup is noteworthy to you, then you have either a pitiful memory or an enviable life.
