"Downloading Mods"

I'm going to try and make this a clear and concise as possible, lol.

I went to go try and play NS2 today like I've done 1000 other times, well.. every server I joined got the "Downloading Mods" screen stuck. Even when I created a listen server.
So I went searching the internetz for awnsers and tryied every last one.

A) Verify Cache (done)
B) Delete all ns2 files under appdata (done)
C) Unsubscribe to all mods (done)
Ca) Thats when I found out that all my mods related to the e_X_o, e_X_m, etc had been removed from the workshop completely

None of those worked.. so I deleted all data and reinstalled the whole damn game.
What would you know.. Still got stuck on "Downloading Mods".

(keep in mind I have checked this 3 times.. I have NO subscribed mods and NO mods in the workshop folder at this point)

I think this error is on steams end as I have tried everything possible short of reinstalling steam.

So i looked in the log file and found this:
