Thank you for the reports! Based on the error message, it would seem the game is somehow failing to delete some files/directories in the "staging directory" where it prepares the mod for publishing in the Steam Workshop. The staging directory is called "WorkshopStaging" and should be located in the game's installation folder. Could you try navigating to that directory manually and deleting it manually? It might also help give us some clues on what's causing this if you let us know if there is indeed a file/directory called "f849ff5cff42dcef4e8f5d7fd2a8cf8d1d277e" or anything else that seems unusual in the folder.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

I did, and now it works.

We'll keep the issue open, since we haven't found out what's causing it nor fixed it. As said, if anyone happens to run into this issue, it might help us a lot in diagnosing this if you could check the contents of the "WorkshopStaging" directory and check if there's anything unusual there.

I seem to have this problem too, but this time it doesn't fix it when I manually delete the WorkshopStaging file

I just looked into my workshop staging folder, sorry to necro a thread but I just ran into the same issue, Barotrauma's workshop staging folder was not able to delete the .git folder from my source project directory, I have to manually remove the .git folder each time

https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/11997 Realized I had a duplicate of this, looks like the solution got buried under here. Seems like this shouldn't be a problem once the next update is released.

Yes, make sure .git folder is out from your LocalMods mod folder, as the game fails, attempting to stage the mod. That's the main problem. Move the .git folder anytime you upload the mod to the Workshop.
