Wererommel Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Sorry, the forum didn't let me post the image for some reason (too big?), so I posted a link. Trying again: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wererommel Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Profiles, saves and the mods file all seem to be intact. No idea how to get Vortex to read them though. Reinstalling Vortex did not help. Maybe I should uninstall first? Booting from the BU Vortex file got me the same dumb message, but it also gave me a warning from my virus checker.

Wererommel Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 The staging path in vortex.deployment.json. Does anyone know if this is correct? Should I change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 The staging path in vortex.deployment.json. Does anyone know if this is correct? Should I change it? If SKyrim SE is installed on your D:\ drive, then a staging path of D:\Vortex Mods\skyrimse would be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wererommel Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 So, I guess there is nothing wrong with the staging path. Any other ideas what it could be? I already reinstalled Vortex, so I doubt it's corrupted, and the data files seem to be in good order. I've not changed any mods outside of Vortex. This all started, though, when I noticed one of my player homes had disappeared. Somehow, the mod got uninstalled without me changing anything, which was considerably odd to start with. And then, I tried to restore a Vortex save from three days previous. The program said it needed "repair", so I did that, but nothing got repaired. Instead, Skyrim SE disappeared from Vortex, and I couldn't boot it without destroying all my data and starting over from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 In the instructions I gave you I asked you to run Command Prompt ("Eingabeaufforderung" in german), not Powershell. Then I was very explicit you keep the quotes, in your screenshot you left them out (initially).And then you mistyped "mods" as "mode".I wasn't kidding when I said "exactly like this". Anyway, going by your deployment.json file and the "--get" call however, it seems like the staging folder is in fact set correctly.If so, this is likely more severe unfortunately. Please check if "D:\vortex mods\skyrimse" actually contains your mods, specifically the ones mentioned in the error message.If not, you (or someone with access to your PC or malware) deleted the mods from the content of the staging folder.

Wererommel Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 I tried command prompt, but couldn't get it to work. The Microsoft documentation led me to believe it had been replaced by Powershell. Powershell has some different rules. Tried the quotes, but couldn't do a thing with them. Typing "Vortex" didn't work, it had to be "Vortex.exe". Also, it had to be preceded by ".\". I swear, they must change these things just for fun. Skyrimse contains 103 GM of data, which is more than in the backup I made a few weeks ago, so I'm pretty sure nothing (or anyway not much) got deleted. No one has access to my PC but me, and I do a thorough virus check every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 to open a command prompt - hit your windows key and R (run) then in the box that pops up, enter CMD and you should get a very basic DOS prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wererommel Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 I getcha. What happens if I uninstall Vortex and then reinstall it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 not much unless you remove all the vortex folders in appdata which basically destroys everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
