  • No you cant see old versions. They are in the vault in case someone hosts with an old version (because he didnt update) so others can still download them
  • No they cannot be removed
  • No you cannot manage your uploads

    I cannot see old versions of the most popular mods in the client, so how do they turn invisible?
    Is there a way to remove them from the vault?
    Is there any interface to manage my uploads?

    I'm a bit sceptical about auto-updates because of the behaviour I described above. From my point of view, I always have to manually remove and reinstall a mod whenever an update is available. In the client's mod browser, installed mods are normally highlighted in green and marked with a checkmark. However, when an update is released for an installed mod, these indicators disappear, making it look as though I haven't installed the mod at all. As a result, it's not immediately obvious that an update is available for a mod I already have installed.

    Old versions dont get overwritten. All old versions of all mods are still in the vault and can still be used in case someone hosts with an old version. Mods dont auto-update for people unless they enable that option in the settings
