Same. I had to uninstall this mod to stop it. Also, the mod author says they don't read comments or bug reports on this page

Also my reboot loop was tied to the advanced flow management mod. I found this out because when I disabled this mod updater, I still got an endless reboot from adv flow management. Once I disabled the adv flow management mod, I could reenable this updater mod, and it worked normally

FWIW, it took a while for me to realize, the update dialogs, even when they have no "dismiss" or x-button, they can be dismissed by hitting "Esc" on the keyboard.

This allowed me to go into the mod menu and manipulate which mods were enabled.

reboot loops are caused by OneDrive breaking folder permission, causing the game to be unable to install an update.

disable onedrive for your documents folder and follow the Klei troubleshooting guide[support.klei.com] OneDrive section to restore fixed folder permissions

I have the same problem, had to uninstall some of my favorite mods that rely on this one. This mod causes the infinite loop and/or resets my mods multiple times when I install or activate it.

works fine as long as your permissions are set properly. It only breaks things if a user has gone in and mucked with their permissions

and disabling onedrive is NOT an option for many people

What CAN cause an issue is if developers hardcode their game to point to a certain folder vs using windows environment variables to locate the documents folder which DOES get moved by onedrive. Any programmer should know to NEVER use hard coded paths

OneDrive is literally a core component to windows and ANY modern game studio should ALWAYS assume it's in use and code their game to use environment variables vs hard coded paths.

Now the reboot loop is 99% of the time caused by the outdated Mod Updater that people install, and there is a workaround

to fix the infinite reboot loop. Here's several things that can work. This only works if you have the mod updater installed manually or from the steam workshop

1) NEVER press restart. Hit ESC to clear the restart window
2) Exit the game manually and give steam a chance to download the mods. The restart button doesn't give steam a chance to do this
3) restart the game after steam downloads the mods

or

1) never press restart. Hit ESC
2) go into the mod list
3) click force update on any mod stuck in that reboot loop. They should be marked in yellow
4) Hit continue vs restart on the pop ups
5) When done, exit the game manually, and let steam update things
6) restart the game

or

In some RARE cases a mod will error out and can't be updated if it's too old and the update process can't update it (this can also happen if there's a mod conflict). In this case, press ESC vs restart, and manually go in and delete the offensive mod and restart the game. Once things are stable, reinstall the mod.

Doing one of the above ALWAYS gets me out of that reboot loop and get my mods updated

It also can be caused by a mod that can't update itself. So worse case, delete all mods, and reinstall mods 1 by 1

should be noted that onedrive can be a red herring in that the problem occurs identically when onedrive was never in use on the system, ie manually stripped after OS install, which means that the documents etc folders are just all under userdir as they "normally" would

also should be noted that uninstalling onedrive doesn't actually move the folders and might instead lock them in a read-only or unpermitted access state, which often results in user profile errors and in some rare cases a BSOD, because microsoft are just nice like that, so be sure to disable folder backups in onedrive before attempting to uninstall it
