superfluid added a comment to T71450: Steam Workshop Scenarios Re-Download Every Time.

Could the game cache the scenario files itself in the Missions directory (which would also allow for offline playing), and have the download/update not be an automatic process? Perhaps you could update by clicking a button on the scenarios menu in-game. Another option is grabbing the list quickly, but only updating the file at the last minute when you click "Play".

As it is, much to my dissatisfaction it takes just over 30 seconds on my system to update 52 missions. This is way too long, particularly if I try to load a mission that doesn't work and I'm booted back to the scenario list page and have to wait all over. Also missions are always added to the end of the list so I have to wait until the very end to play recently downloaded missions.

I know 30 seconds doesn't seem like a long time, but it's unnecessary friction that mars the otherwise nice experience of downloading or switching to play different missions. Thanks for understanding!
