Meccha Chameleon Workshop Download Stuck — Custom Map Fix

A subscribed Workshop map won't finish downloading, or mod sync stalls when joining a lobby.

A Meccha Chameleon Workshop download stuck at 0% (or stalled mid-sync) is almost always a Steam download-cache or queue issue. The steps below force the custom map content to finish downloading cleanly.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    Restart Steam and re-trigger the download

    Fully quit and reopen Steam, then open Downloads. A stuck Workshop item often resumes immediately once the download queue is restarted.

  2. 2

    Clear the Steam download cache

    Go to Steam → Settings → Downloads → "Clear Download Cache" and sign back in. This wipes a corrupted queue entry that commonly freezes Workshop downloads.

  3. 3

    Unsubscribe and resubscribe to the map

    On the Workshop page, unsubscribe from the stuck map, restart Steam, then resubscribe. This forces a fresh download of the custom map files.

  4. 4

    Check disk space, region, and firewall

    Ensure you have free disk space, switch the Download Region (Settings → Downloads) to a nearby alternative, and allow Steam through your firewall/VPN so content servers aren't blocked.

  5. 5

    Verify game files to repair mod sync

    If joining a lobby stalls on "syncing", verify integrity of game files (Steam → Properties → Installed Files). Both players being on version 1.9.0 also keeps Workshop content in sync.

FAQ

The download sits at 0 bytes forever. What's wrong?
That's the classic stuck-queue symptom. Clear the download cache, restart Steam, and switch download region. Unsubscribing/resubscribing usually unblocks the last cases.
Do I need the same map as the host to join?
Yes — the host's custom map must download/sync to your machine. If sync hangs, finish the download via the steps above before rejoining.
