Hi ! My supposed downloads folder and my games are already on my E:, my largest drive. For the latter part of your post, I already know that. When I said that I thought the message appeared because the downloads folder had to be configured, it was because I deduced that, since neither the staging folder nor the downloads folder are configured, Vortex must be lost because it can't not "complain" because the staging folder is subdirectory of the Vortex downloads folder whereas the downloads folder is not configured. In short, I'm lost and I have another question: which folder should I configure first, then ? and of course, what do I need to do to play with mods since i can't configured these 2 folders ? Thanks for replying to my post, have a nice day ! PS : When I try to apply the change to the downloads folder I had created (E:\Vortex\Downloads and E:\Vortex\Staging), the folder is deleted.In addition, 2 new files appear (see attachment). I had launched Vortex with hogwarts legacy as the selected game.
