SFM Workshop Download Queue = Crashing
2 years ago
General
So. I'm just trying to work on a project, innocent as you please. However, removing some old models that I don't use has triggered something very, very, VERY nasty.
When I'm opening SFM, I get a prompt saying "Steam Workshop Download Queue," and I have to go through that to get to my project. From there, I keep having to answer a "model conflict" prompt popup with the options "Yes," "Yes to All," "No," "No to All," etc.
I go through that, innocent as you please. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, for no reason at all...CRASH TO THE DESKTOP.
I open the program again. Same process. Same old nasty crash for no reason at all.
Eventually, after going through this several times, I end up having SFM crash on me right after I click "yes" on the "Steam Workshop Download Queue," over and OVER. The only fix so far is to find the files shown in that window, and unsubscribing from them.
I've wasted literally ALL my free time after work today trying to fix this. Any progress I could have made in my creative works, flushed right down the drain. I've tried unsubscribing from superfluous Steam Workshop stuff several times, verified my local files several times (and keep getting told that 48 files were lost and would be re-acquired), and I keep running into this problem. And seeing as Blender is an unintuitive labyrinth to figure out, SFM is my ONLY vehicle for creative expression, and it's behaving badly on me.
I'm getting so frustrated that it's bleeding into my conversations with others, and they're telling me to step back and take a break. Which would be all well and good, if the problem resolved itself on its own while I was away. Except it ISN'T getting better; it's giving me the exact same nonsense when I try booting SFM up again. Putting the problem off isn't solving it; it's only keeping me from creating things even longer.
I need some help and advice. Please.

FA+

Moment I get something from the workshop I just move it directly and then let Steam think it was removed and ok the 'deletion'.
