- Which version of Vortex are you using? (e.g. 1.8.0)

 

Vortex version 1.9.3

 

- Which game are you modding and which game store did you purchase it from? (e.g. Skyrim SE from GOG)

 

Starfield - Purchased and installed through Steam

 

- Which mods are you trying to use?

 

On my desktop none of my mods work (about 10). 

 

So, on my laptop, I only installed ONE (Quick and Clean Main Menu) so that I could see if it worked and rule out any conflicts, etc.  So, that ONE Mod is also not working.

 

I am requesting troubleshooting for the one on my laptop because I figure whatever is causing it to not work will likely be the same issue for my desktop.

 

- What steps did you take before you encountered the error?

 

1. Installed Vortex (w/ .NET)

2.  Added the StarfieldCustom.ini file to the C:\Users\ddmur\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Starfield directory which included the following entry:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

 

3. Went to download page for above mentioned Mod (https://www.nexusmod...rfield/mods/418)

4. Clicked on the File tab and clicked on Mod Manager Download (Hardlink Deployment Selected)

5. Watched Download and verified that Vortex, downloaded, installed AND enabled Mod

 Vortex_Mod_Page.jpg   40.93KB   3 downloads

 

6.  Opened Starfield Game and still see the pages displayed that the Mod has been reported to have replaced (i.e Epilepsy Warning, Bethesda splash screen, etc...)

 

- What is the specific error message you received? (Provide a screenshot if possible)

 

I do NOT receive any warnings at all. The mod just does not work.  I looked in my Vortex.log and only see INFO and DEBUG entries.  I found a couple WARNING and ERRORS in the log, however they appear to be related to an unrelated game (application).

Log was found under %APPDATA%\Roaming\Vortex

 

**I have made a log of JUST the entries from today's date and can send if requested. Since it has Tokens and such in the log, although they appear encrypted, I wasn't sure it was safe to place on the forum.

Looks like that mod is badly packaged, which is causing the issue. 

 

Edit: I've repacked it for the mod author and it should now work.

Do I need to re-download or what steps do I need to take?

[Pickysaurus]

Download the latest update from the mod page

[ddmurray64]

Deleted the mod from laptop and tried again - Now this is what happens when I try to install the Mod.   Download failed.jpg   72.03KB   4 downloads

Have you tried (re)logging in again?

[ddmurray64]

That worked!  thank you.  I am going to try this on my desktop.  I am hoping this ONE Mod was keeping the others from running.  Should I start a new thread if I need help there. Most of the stuff is the same, save fore the GPU/CPU.  Same OS, same steps attempted, etc...
