Further investigating why it may be crashing when downloading the background update.

Note the DLC is not installed when launching in screenshot.
Note also the size of the Steam Libraries Folder
Note the size of the update being asked to download.

When the update reaches around the steam library file size, this is when the application crashes . Ive sent a request to GFN to investigate also - but maybe this cane be resolved on your end.

I noticed the the x86 Steam Libraries Folder on GFN have an allocated free space of

Its possible to resolve the loading of the Mod by following these steps on GeForceNow

When the game launches, it will attempt to download in the background already owned cDLCs and Workshop items.

  1. Remove all your workshop items.
  2. Open the downloads page and click Auto Updates Enabled.
  3. Deselect all cDLCs that are attempting to download (in my case, Contact DLC and Global Mobilisation and SOG Praeie Fire)
  4. Resume the download.
  5. Once it hits 0 and complete, go back into Auto Updates List and select the SOG cDLC

Once you have. done the above, you can now see the cDLC is installing.

The size o the steam libary folder is causing the initial crash, not enough space to take all the cDLCs.

Thank you for the answer kgriff04, we've also posted this on our forum. I don't think there's anything further we can do on our side to improve the compatibility with GeForceNow.
