It won't let me launch the game until the download finishes, it is a stinking 9.2 Gigabyte download, and the funny thing is, I am NOT subscribed to ANY mods! Everytime I launch steam, it tries to do a 9.2 gig Workshop update, not even a regular Arma 3 update, an update for mods I'm not even subscribed to anymore! It's extremely annoying, and obviously, I don't even play half my mods anymore, so I unsubscribed from them.

I've been playing a few days and when I checked the 252490 folder there was nearly 10GB's of content in that folder that I did not want, ask for or need.Every time I try to launch Arma 3, Arma 3 Workshop Content starts updating. You can view all the content Rust has decided to download just for you via the following path on your computer:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\252490Įverything inside the folder 252490 is Rust workshop content and you can delete the contents of that folder if you wish (just don't delete the 252490 folder itself as it's needed for the below guide to work).ĭeleting the contents of 252490 will take away any custom skins you see ingame that have been downloaded from the workshop. What these methods do is lock the workshop folder on your computer which will prevent steam from accessing it (and as such prevent steam from downloading files to it) The issue is there's no option to say "I don't want this to happen" and it will continue to download more and more workshop content everytime you play Rust. If you still want workshop items (skins) downloaded, then this guide is not for you.įor those not aware, Rust downloads workshop content to your computer while you're playing. The GuideThis guide is for users that wish to stop workshop items (skins) being downloaded to their computer.
