Upon launching Arma 3 I am unable to view any of my subscribed Steam Compositions within any Zeus mission regardless if on a Official, Private, or Lan server. I am able to view only locally saved compositions. In order to see my subscribed Steam Compositions, I usually need to exit to the Main Menu and Edit my Profile. Upon which I hit 'REFRESH' then 'APPLY' under the 'Unit' tab. Re-entering a Zeus mission on any type of server will typically resolve the issue of not seeing any of my Subscribed Steam Compositions. However this seems to only work 75% or less of the time, it is not foolproof.

Steps To Reproduce
- Initialize Arma 3
- Maintain currently active profile, do not modify/change/edit in anyway.
- Enter Server Browser
- Either Enter Official or Private or Lan Server
- Ensure chosen mission is a Zeus mission. It does NOT matter Map/Size (16/40)/Side
- Ensure you take Game Master slot. Mission can be already in progress, in Briefing, or start once you enter. does not matter.
- Upon placing initial required respawns, observe if noticeable delay occurs, indicating subscribed Steam Compositions are loading into the UI
- Select the "Groups" tab (Three Person Icon), then on the far right-hand side select the yellow "Empty" icon. After doing so, observe if section "Steam subscribed content" is visible in the list.
- If not visible, exit server, proceed to Main Menu
- Edit currently selected profile
- Make an edit under 'Avatar' section OR under 'Unit' section select 'REFRESH'
- Select 'APPLY' in respective section
- Press 'OK' to continue using said profile
- Repeat steps 3 through 8 to observe if "Steam subscribed content" is visible in the list under the "Groups" tab.

Additional Information
Some things to note:
- I am able to always view locally saved compositions in Zeus & Eden Editor.
- I am able to always view my subscribed Steam Compositions within Eden Editor.
- My UID is 76561198448021639, I currently have 860+ odd subscribed Steam Workshop Compositions. This may be the root cause of the issue, related to sheer quantity.
- In regards to active game profiles, I traditionally use only one named "Lockheed Martin", but do maintain a second named "NZXT". I have not ever tried to switch to 'NZXT' nor have tried the above 'Steps To Reproduce' on said profile.
- Becoming Admin on server does not change state.
- Another workaround I have noticed to *sometimes* work is upon observing this issue in Game Master slot, to switch to Game Moderator and back in order to begin seeing the Steam Workshop Compositions as listed.
- Time of day nor server region does not affect results, issue persists/observed regardless of server region or time of day.
- Simply relaunching game or exiting server joining another/coming back immediately does not affect results, issue persists/observed regardless.

Same issue.
I removed all mods, Workshop Subscribed Items, etc.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled the game. No fix yet.
The only Workshop item I installed after reset was Enhanced Zeus Modules.

Been a problem for me for at least a month now. I have 647 compositions subscribed from the Steam Workshop at the time of writing this, so I'm not sure of there's like some maximum threshold that the game can load.
Edited my profile like how the original poster instructed to see if the issue was resolved. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The only thing Game Masters (and Moderators with permits) with this problem can really do is copy the code/script from the Steam Workshop compositions that they are planning to use often (such as EZM) and paste it to an object's init.
It's a shame that hundreds of comps made by the community can't be used after subscribing and that more space on my drive has to be used in order to copy them locally.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
