Arma 3 Launcher does not detect, nor show newly subscribed mods from the Steam Workshop
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Arma 3 Launcher opens, and the game runs perfectly fine. However, new mods from the workshop do not load onto the Launcher. The mod downloads, according to Steam, but the Launcher does not show it. Basic troubleshooting has not worked. This issue started on Dec. 3rd (not only for myself but several others in the official Arma3 discord troubleshooting chats).

Steps To Reproduce

Unknown, but it is affecting at least a dozen people, as seen in the official Arma3 discord troubleshooting chats, and at least one other forum post.

Additional Information

I have tried:
Un and re-subscribing
Restart the Launcher, Steam, and Computer
I even reinstalled all of Arma and my mods (500GBs)
Nothing has solved the issue

I'm willing to provide more info, I just don't know much about computers.

Update:
We figured out what's going on.
It looks like, end of last week, Valve added a limit of 1000 items to a API method that we use.
If you have more than 1000 subscribed workshop items it will now just fail and not even tell us what's wrong.
We will implement a workaround, See #arma3_launcher channel on discord.gg/arma to stay updated.

I am also experiencing this issue, and I would like to add that this workaround should be implemented officially through STEAM as soon as possible. Because STEAM keeps replacing the fixed launcher with the old, currently official one
