Vortex can't find my game! (Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries) (Steam)

Vortex does not currently support MechWarriors 5: Mercenaries. In fact, I'm not aware of any mod manager that does. The closest thing to it is a load order manager found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/174.

 

However, not to worry. Vortex is open source. You and/or your gaming buddies are free to write a Vortex extension that will enable support (at least for the Steam version of the game). Here is the extension template: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Creating_a_game_extension_for_Vortex.

Shoot...well, thanks for letting me know.

 

Mechwarrior 5 is a mess, and I feel the only way it can be saved is by mods. Tonnage Limits on all the missions makes the game unplayable, imo. And that's the least of it....

It looks like Vortex is trying to support MechWarrior 5. The problem is that the mods folder is not in the game directory(Microsoft Store version, not Steam). Right now it is not possible to tell Vortex that. Vortex is looking for the game directory which Microsoft makes it very difficult to find (I had to give myself permissions to the WindowsApps folder). Then when vortex sees the game it cannot activate because the mods folder is in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\MW5Mercs\Mods.
