pimpelmeester Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Recently I've encountered several downloaded files on startup of Vortex that I did not download myself. I do not even have the game they belong to. Has anyone encountered this behaviour before? Can it be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConvictJ96 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I've never experienced it but I have downloaded mods that have entirely different file names from their official mod name on the nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution HadToRegister Posted November 11, 2020 Solution Share Posted November 11, 2020 I've never experienced it but I have downloaded mods that have entirely different file names from their official mod name on the nexus. That's completely normal, because it's up to the modder to name their files. You download a file from a mod called "Example Mod" and you'll download a zip file called "Xmod.zip" or "Xmod-2-20475.zip", because the Nexus puts the Mod ID in the filename.

Pickysaurus Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 What you may have also encounter is Vortex updating it's extensions. This is done so you don't have to redownload the entire app to fix bugs with a single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
