XtomJames Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 So I downloaded the latest version of Vortex and went to install it. It runs, says there will be a delay as it does stuff without a load bar, and then disappears. Now it's just running in the background chewing up processing power. It's been running like this for half an hour already. What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSalami Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Though it may seem obvious, try to ensure that you can't alt-tab to a Vortex related screen that may have been hidden somehow. Otherwise, feel free to end the process via your task manager if needed. If you try and run the installer after that and this continues, can you provide a screenshot of the message you mentioned please? Also, do you notice any load bars at all? Does the Vortex logo appear?This info may help us diagnose the issue. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtomJames Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Okay; I get the Vortex logo but no load bars. It just sits there on screen. I can't tab to it and the icon disappears from the taskbar. The only two indicators that it is running is the Vortex logo and the three Vortex processes running in the Task Manager. It also seems to be the case the new Vortex wiped out all of my Skyrim SE mods from the old Skyrim SE folder I had from the old Vortex, but it seems to be fine with the Fallout 4 mods. I'm not getting any express error messages, just the warning messages that come after the installation where it says migration is needed. I know for a fact that it takes only about 5 minutes to migrate my mods for both Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE (yay for M.2 SSDs). So two hours is ridiculously slow.

XtomJames Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 This is the initial warning I get: http://i64.tinypic.com/akdez6.png But as you can see in this screenshot I can't alt-tab to Vortex: http://i63.tinypic.com/359mlmw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grestorn Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 It's copying your mods, because the place they're stored had changed with that update. That can take a while. Maybe just be more patient. Is you HDD active while Vortex is unresponsive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtomJames Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Vortex chews up GPU, but my ssd utilization drops off after 10 minutes and I can't bring Vortex to the forefront. The other thing is, when I look at the folder it's copying stuff over to, it's clearly finished after 10 minutes, it just doesn't finalize and bring up the GUI for the program. It's like it's getting stuck in the initial migration setup process and then loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grestorn Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I guess this cannot be resolved without Tannin himself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtomJames Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 As you can see from these screenshots all file transfers are complete, but it's still throttling my CPU to 70%+http://i64.tinypic.com/b5h8wi.pnghttp://i68.tinypic.com/29e0q69.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtomJames Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 So any suggestions as to what is going on with it or what I need to do to get it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Could you send in the vortex.log file? (Found at %APPDATA%\vortex\) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
