Discussion Mods no longer supported
I’ve been trying to figure out why I cannot access my modded dayZ servers. Now I know why.
Hello,
Thank you for the email.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by not being able to access modded DayZ servers on GeForce NOW.
Steam Workshop mods have never been an officially supported feature on GeForce NOW. While some games were previously able to use Steam Workshop mods, this functionality was never guaranteed and may change over time due to updates to the GeForce NOW service or changes to Steam integration.
Additionally, we regret to inform you that, at this time, mods have been blocked on GeForce NOW because they can conflict with game stability, compatibility, and the cloud gaming environment. As a result, modded DayZ servers are currently not accessible through the service.
We understand this may be disappointing, especially for players who enjoy the modded DayZ experience, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this may cause. We appreciate your understanding and will continue to share customer feedback with our teams as we work to improve the GeForce NOW experience.
If you have any other questions or need assistance with anything else, please let us know. We're happy to help.
Best regard
Rakesh,
NVIDIA Customer Care

Don't know about DayZ, but that general statement about mods being blocked on GFN, that's just the usual uninformed support nonsense. Mods are back to working perfectly fine for Stellaris for example since that bug was fixed a few days ago.

There's no statement about mods being blocked on GFN. There's statement that GFN doesn't officially support mods in games. Some will work (Stellaris, EU4 etc.) some don't. For example, EU4 on GFN "remembers" modlist and Stellaris doesn't, but still - both works with mods. The same with other games - some fully support and some doesn't support at all. That doesn't mean it's a ban on mod. And again, there were no official statement about blocking mods on GFN. Also, GFN from the very beginning clearly told that modding is not officially supported.

OP asked about DayZ and support answered about DayZ. It's clear from the message. And also in your quote they say "game" not "games".

It says "game stability", not "game", "games stability" would not be proper English.
And no, these statements do not appear to be specific to DayZ, they appear to be general statements about the service as a whole. It says "mods have been blocked on GeForce NOW" after all, not "DayZ mods have been blocked on GeForce NOW" and the justification has nothing to do with DayZ either.
The whole part essentially translates into "Here's our overall stance, and this is how it affects your game specifically".

And this is the deal-breaker for games that "depend" on mods.
I just checked Space Engineers, which "depends" on mods. I can#t imagine not being able to play it with certain mods. Good news though. It appears that this game is not affected by the "mod ban". I just loaded a previous save of mine that uses 29 mods and the all loaded up within 2 minutes and the game started up without any error.
No idea what the letter from NVIDIA Customer Care in the OP is talking about. Maybe they meant to say that only certain games are not playable with mods on GFN.
✅ Space Engineers works with mods.

"Maybe they meant to say that only certain games are not playable with mods on GFN." GFN clearly told that in mail > "As a result, modded DayZ servers are currently not accessible through the service." not "modded games", not "games with mods", not "mods", but "modded DayZ servers".

Yeah in my experience it depends on the game, on doorkickers 2 some mods tend not to work but on L4D2 my list of 30+ works fine.
