Does Garry's Mod download addons twice? If not, what is it downloading?
You can find a copy of this question asked (by me) on the Facepunch Forums.
When I subscribe to an addon on the Garry's Mod workshop, Steam instantly downloads them in the download manager.
When I open Garry's Mod, it seems to be downloading even more things, and both stages uses bandwidth as far as I can see.
As in: Garry's Mod does not use the files downloaded by Steam. Does it?
My Questions:
- When Steam downloads an item from the workshop, where is it stored? In the
addonsfolder or elsewhere? - Why is Garry's Mod downloading my addons again? (And is it downloading it twice or only updates?) I've noticed that both steps involve using a lot of bandwidth...
- If the addons downloaded by Steam are stored elsewhere, is there any way to make Garry's Mod copy-paste instead of downloading them again (if it is doing that)?
