    Hey guys,

    My question is there ANY fix to autosubscribing steam workshop content be optional when starting the game first time because of a reinstall?

    With the old ui when I installed the game first time after a windows reinstall, or when I just reinstalled the game after a long time, before launching the game I used the Launcher.config in UserData folder to disable workshop auto-subscribing with changing the Disable Workshop Auto-Subscribe: False to True.

    But with the new UI this is not working anymore, because the new UI doesn't have a launcher so the Launcher.config is not taken into consideration by the game now I guess.

    So my problem when I install first time or just reinstall rFactor2 completely, when I start the game it autosubscribes to a lot of steam workshop content and it starts to download and install them. This content is a lots of GB and downloading and installing these takes a lot of time which is very frustrating because I didn't need and I won't use these workshop items at all so after downloading and installing is over, I just start to uninstall these to not to take up space on my SSD.

    Thanks in advance for you help,

    Yeah but I want the updates later to subscribed content which I subscribe to on steam.

    The latest roadmap mentions a first time start wizard with selectable content - to some extent. Should be fairly soon.
