So I can get the game to show up when you try to manage it , but even tho my fallout 4 game is on my C drive it just doesn’t show . I am playing on steam deck and that uses Linux so don’t know if that is effecting it

I have a mod that has to override another mod but i am having a issue where two file in the original mod i cant change over. When i go into the file conflict manager i, the drop down menu has the mode that needs to replace it but it doesn't allow me to change the file or click on it. My last resort is just copying the files by doing it manually but i am just wondering why vortex isn't allowing me to over-right two files in a mod. The two files are a skeleton (hhk), and a (nif) file.

I launched vortex and my profiles tab on the left is gone so i cant see what profile I'm on or swap profiles. I just updated vortex too.

Hello I recently had my entire modded game version be destroyed and unrecoverably corrupt, forcing me to delete everything. Fortunately I had made a collection of everything I had before so that I can easily redownload it for myself, however as I hit the install depndencies button of the collection I receive an error message that the mod is no longer available and couldn't be installed for all 758 of them. That is A: Impossible and B: Just not true as I have checked some of them for their availability. What on earth causes this to happen? If anyone can help me that would be great because I really, REALLY do not feel like spending two weeks to mannualy install every single one by hand AGAIN.

I'm having the following problem. After installing vortex, I wanted to use it for 7 days to die, so I clicked on manage on 7 days to die. Afterwards I got asked to set a location for the mods, from the dialog I figured, that it could be anywhere, so I set it to a seperate location. Afterwards I installed multiple mods and thought, that it would work. Now, if I start 7 days to die, the mods are not activiated (I can test it, if I move the mods manually to the games mod folder). My question is, how this works for 7 days to die and if it is possible to reset the mod folder to the games mod folder (in hope, that it would work then).

I'm facing an issue that I need help with regarding modding my video games. I use Vortex to download collections. However, when I try to install these collections, I keep running into a problem where the installation begins, but after ~10 mods, the downloads freeze. The rest of Vortex remains usable, so the application itself isn’t freezing, but the download page will show about 10 mods stuck with their progress status as 'pending' without any further progress. I've found a minor workaround: if I cancel the download at the bottom of the queue (the one that has been there the longest), new mod downloads will start. Sometimes, this allows the mods to download and install, but other times, it doesn’t work, and I need to pause the installation, close and reopen Vortex, then resume. This usually allows the downloads to proceed for a while before the same issue occurs again. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Reinstalled and updated Vortex (currently on v1.12.2) Disabled and allowed Vortex through firewalls and virus scanners Validated the game files Used a command prompt to verify that my PC can ping the Nexus servers (no timeout errors) Updated and restarted my PC (Windows and drivers) and router Ensured that the mod folder, download folder, and game installation are all on the same drive Completely removed and restarted modding a game to ensure no corrupted files were causing the issue Repaired .NET Framework on my PC Changed DNS settings to Google DNS Ensured that Vortex is set to handle mod manager downloads and tried the "Fix Nexus Mods links in Chrome" option Tried using both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (both up-to-date) Confirmed that my SSD has enough space to handle all operations Verified that my antivirus software, Malwarebytes, is up to date and set to allow Vortex I also have Nexus Premium Performed a fresh installation of Vortex and moved it to the same drive as my games and mods I’ve also confirmed that this issue occurs with several games (Stardew Valley, Skyrim, The Witcher 3, etc.) My internet connection (876.3 Mbps down/498.5 Mbps up/3 ms ping) PC hardware (Ryzen 9, Nvidia 3080, 64 GB RAM, Windows 11) (idk if useful but I attached my vortex logs) If anyone has any suggestions or has experienced a similar issue, I’d appreciate your help. network.log vortex.log

Please check the Vortex Diagnostics file attached in this post. It is not very long. First time in a while with using Vortex. Last time must've been months ago for Enderal: Special Edition. Still in the same OS, same computer configurations, etc. Here was the result as soon as I set up Fallout: New Vegas into Vortex (brand new installation of both Vortex and F:NV - Failed to update masterlist - Failed to load master-/userlist --- Windows 11. Firewall disabled. Windows Security, everything inside of it that can be disabled has been turned off. Threats history checked every now and then, with no new additions. My network in regards to about anything else in my computer has no issue whatsoever. No additional anti-virus is installed. No additional firewall is installed. Vortex has been re-installed now several times in the last few hours, with its remaining files deleted and also not deleted on some of the other attempts, to no avail. Both the Vortex installation folder and the choice of storage drive into which Vortex was installed was different on each attempt (there were several attempts.) ---------------------------------------- OS: Windows 11, updated to its latest version.

Hi there, Sorry if this has been posted somewhere before. I've installed a tool wrong in error but I cannot see how to remove it from the toolbar. I have installed the correct tool now but, the old wrong version is still there. I have found the option to add a new tool and the 3 dots on the side only allow me to drag tools up and down the list but no option to remove it. What am I missing?

Hey there folks, I've got Vortex version 1.12.3 and have been trying to play some New Vegas with a few mods, but whenever I load up the game and pause it, I'm greeted with the image below. In addition to MCM BugFix 2 v1.5,1, I have YUP - Base Game and all DLC v13.1.1 NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash v 7.5.1.0 JIP LN NVSE v57.30 4GB Patcher v1.5 NVTF - New Vegas Tick Fix 10.2.2.3b New Vegas Script Extender v6.3.5 Populated Casinos v0.96 Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?

Please add support for this game to Vortex.

Here is the problem. What im gonna do now? Also ArchiveXL does the same thing too.

This is the error I get when I try to launch vortex. I don't even have an antivirus and my windows defender is completely turned off.

TLDR: I have no deployment methods no matter what I try. I am trying to mod Baldur's Gate 3, but Vortex is having a problem with setting a staging folder for it. I set the staging folder to a folder on the same drive as the game but Vortex thinks it's not the same drive. 'Fixes' say to set the staging folder to the same drive as the game, I have tried that and it doesn't work & running Vortex as Admin didn't work either. Baldur's Gate is installed on F drive and Vortex detects the game is installed on F in 'General - Games'. 'Suggest' Mod Staging Folder thinks the game is on C drive and sets the location to the C 'userdata' folder. Resulting in 'No deployment available'. Vortex knows where the game is, yet it also says that is an incorrect location. I don't know what to do now. This hasn't happened with any other game. Edit: Vortex version STABLE 1.10.8

Recently, SMAPI for Stardew Valley had an update. The way mods are ordered in the Stardew Valley Vortex are by when they were downloaded. This is a massive issue when in order to update a mod, you need to completely uninstall and reinstall it. SMAPI needs to be at the top of the load order, but in order to make that happen, I would have to get rid of all of my mods and then reinstall them in the exact same order as I had them when it worked. There is no Plugins tab in Vortex for Stardew Valley, which is how I've seen people online explain how to redo load order. Is there any way around completely wiping and redownloading all of the mods I have in order to get the game to even launch again, or do I just have to suck it up and do it?

I have RDR2 on steam. I have Vortex and have downloaded several RDR2 mods. I have followed numerous videos and âhow toâsâ on how to download and install Vortex. Along with how to download mods. I also have the correct file path for the RDR2.exe. However, I cannot get mods to work in Vortex. They are downloaded, installed, and RDR2 is ready but they are not showing up. For example, some mods have hot keys of some kind and there are not working. Anyone have some advice or have another thread that talked about RDR2 on Steam and using Vortex?

Windows 11 (23H2). Vortex 1.11.7 I am trying to stop managing Witcher 3. I want to clean it completely back to "factory defaults" and start over. I'm using a complex collection, so it's better to start from clean. Vortex starts cleaning as I would expect then throws an error claiming that the mods.settings file in Documents is being manipulated by another process. I checked this in Resource Monitor and the only process with that file handle open is Vortex itself, but this could easily make sense as there are several Vortex processes running. Presumably one has control of the file, whilst another wants it and Vortex is fighting with itself. If I ignore the error, it immediately pops up again. If I choose to quit, then naturally Vortex just closes. The only way I have found to actually deal with this is a full manual process: 1 - Delete all the Vortex data from AppData/Roaming and start with an effectively clean Vortex install. 2 - Manually clean the Witcher 3 install. This is both tedious and means I can't use vortex to manage other games, as I would lose all the necessary metadata for those profiles every time I have to perform a manual reset on Vortex.

I got a message today telling me I have an invalid staging file because it is in my game directory. Even though it has been working for a long time, I only got the message today. So I tried to change the directory, but every time Vortex would ask me to give access to a certain file. I did give it every time but it doesn't work and I would get a message telling me Vortex doesn't have access. What I did was reboot my laptop every time, afterwards the file in question would somehow be deleted. After several times, the mods are finally moving. But this time I'm told directories are not writable. I've tried different files in different drivers, it never works. My system is win10. Please help!

Hello! I might did a poor search, but couldn't find that on forums. Basically, as you know, Vortex is asking administrator permissions for deployment (using symlinks) every time. It wouldn't be any kind of a problem, but when you're working on a huge mod pack and, e.g., trying to find a game bug cause by disabling mods one-by-one, permission prompt appearing every single time gets really annoying. Is it possible to somehow remember granted admin permission for Vortex? Without disabling UAC at all of course. I thought running Vortex as administrator could work, but when I tried running it as an admin, Vortex prompted me not to do so. Thanks in advance.

Sped up, 720 video of what is happening. It runs like normal for a little then white screens, crashes, and restarts. I've uninstalled and reinstalled vortex but that didn't help. Any help would be appreciated. Vortex crash3.mp4

I'm using Vortex version 1.11.7 and recently updated it after a few months of not using it, maybe 2 or 3, and am modding Baldur's gate 3. I am using Windows 10, x64, and I have 8gb of RAM. Last week is when I updated Vortex and some of the mods, everything deployed fine and there were no issues. Last night, when I tried to purge my mods so I could play multiplayer, it would say it purged everything but BG3 insisted I still had them downloaded. Not even uninstalling Vortex fixed the issue so I deleted all the mods one by one so I could play (This worked). However, upon reinstalling the mods from Vortex two of the mods are refusing to deploy and suddenly I'm missing symlinks. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, then moving the vortex folder to my hard drive where BG3 is downloaded instead of the default folder vortex choose but the problem remained. I am only using 13 mods and here is the error screenshotted alongside my vortex log.

I've had this issue where Vortex won't launch after I restart my system. The application opens after i install it, and after I close it and launch it again. I don't know what's going on. Is my system messing with Lutris, or this some sort of bug with Lutris + Vortex? I don't want to have to reinstall Vortex constantly. OS: Arch Linux (Kernel 5.15) Vortex: 1.1.15 (Recommended Linux installation script) Modded Games: The Elder Scrolls Skyrim: Special Edition (Aniversery Update, 1.6+) Here's my Lutris log for Vortex:

Q: Is there anything I have to do for moving the Vortex application itself. Can I just click and drag it to a new drive? I followed these steps: 1: On Vortex mods-tab, click "purge" and then done exit Vortex. 2: Use Steam to move Skyrim to another disk. 3: Run Skyrim launcher once to setup registry with new location. 4: Start Vortex, you'll get a message about Skyrim not located where expected. Hopefully Vortex should detect new location of Skyrim. 5: Just to be on the safe side, re-start Vortex. 6: In Vortex, under Settings - Mods, choose new location of the "Mod Staging Folder" and Vortex will move the files for you. This can take a long time. 7: Still under Vortex - Settings - Mods, make sure deployment method is "Hardlink Deployment". //////////////////////////8: On Vortex mods-tab, choose Deploy.//////////////////////////////// *** I didn't do this step until moving the Vortex Folder *** Vortex moved both folders and Steam moved the game install to a new drive. Is there anything I have to do for moving the Vortex application itself. Can I just click and drag it to a new drive? I have 3 Drives: C (OS), D (Games), A (External Hard drive) I'm moving these files from A (external) to my D (games) drive. Hoping for better performance.

I don't really use Vortex all that much. For one reason or another, Vortex doesn't use the mods when I play Elden ring. I set up a Launcher under the tools tab and it launches it fine, but no mods will load. Anyone know why.

So, i have this problem when i try to install mods from collections (It doesn't matter which collection I'm trying to download, it happens with any mods/collections) And sometimes i have error with next text: Downloading failed due to an I/O error (either network or disk access). This is very likely a temporary problem, please try resuming at a later time. The author of the mod collection said the following: I found only this: Or i check in a wrong place?
