Im trying to deploy my mods but Vortex says that there's no file named "vortex.deployment.bepinex-plugin.json" in the mod staging folder. I was looking through the folders and i found a file with the same name in the bepinex folder. I tried pasting it into the mod staging folder, but it didn't work. EDIT: I deleted the file and the issue has been solved.

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

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'm not familiar with vortex and I'm trying to download mods for Stardew Valley. I had all of them downloaded manually but some werent working so I figured i'd try vortex. When I try to deploy mods it says "cant write to output directory". I deleted everything and im trying to redownload them all but they wont deploy. Anyone know what to do?

Hello, I've ran into an issue with deploying mods on multiple games. I am using vortex 1.9.12. When I click the deploy mods button it says, deployment failed and files were not correctly deployed and the most likely reason is that files were locked by external applications. Also the game will crash on launch; so far I have only tried Mount and blade 2 and Baldur's gate 3. Here is a screenshot to show what I am talking about.

Hi, My computer doesn't have the best memory, and I wanted to mod Skyrim with large number of mods which take up a decent amount of memory, to do so I bought an external hard drive to install it all on. I've reinstalled Vortex, and Skyrim. Set up the steam folder within the new hard drive using the tools in steam settings to do so. I've also set up a download and staging folder for Vortex within the new drive, following online instructions for how to do so. I've even downgraded my game from AE to SE like instructed. However when doing it on my own, and with a guide I've had the same issue, Vortex will not use the correct deployment method. A warning will pop up in red saying deployment not possible, when opening it it says "Deployment method "Hardlink Deployment" not available because: Filesystem doesn't support hard links." But I did everything that was instructed and can't find any additional information online. I'd appreciate some help. Thank you.
