    So what would cause this?

    Never had any problems joining servers, but now I get this message no matter what I try to join.

    You already have the mod in packages, uninstalled?

    We get that on occasion, its weird, happens even when already been on the server (or only then?) uninstalling the vmod helped for me.

    Tim, this is what I got:

    I guess it has to do with the fact that I moved my entire package folder yesterday to a new hard drive.

    I "cut" the folder from my rF2 main folder and unto the new disk. Then I pointed the mod manager to where the new packages folder is, as you can see.
    Can you figure anything out from what I've explained? Never had this problem until today so I must have something to do with me moving my packages.

    I always advise

    download the mod
    cancel car selection
    esc online
    boot the mod offline
    pick you car and boot quick race ie: just load, select new FOV and FFB settings anything different
    go online


    Handy as well because online stuff like that does not save online first time.

    Thanks Durge, but my problem is I can't download any mods all of a sudden.
    No matter which server I click on to join, it just gives me the message "mod could not be installed".
    I have never seen this message, ever, until today, after I made to change to move my packages folder to another drive.

    Don't know if it's connected, but quite a strange coincidence if it isn't... :confused:
    Everything works perfectly offline btw.

    Try creating a folder and name it ''Packages'' in your old packages folder location, from where you cut and pasted from.

    See I knew it was a bad idea to cut the entire folder from the rF2 main folder...
    Thank you so much mate, saved my night. :)
