It's mostly down to a "back end" problem where it's hard to work out the relationship between two files unless you specifically mark them as updates. Let's imagine you upload a mod called "My House" v1.0. Then you come back to your page and upload a new file called "My House - Green roof". Vortex can't programmatically know for sure if the green roof file is an update or a variant.

Restart Vortex to get any setup checks to re-run.

Most commonly this doesn't work because you have two accounts and are logged into different ones in different parts of the site.

It sounds like the Vortex JSON file in your Data folder has been corrupted by something. Try using "Purge" and then "Deploy". If that doesn't work, try renaming vortex_deployment.json to something else, then deploy again. The other option would be to try and manually repair that file using a JSON validator.

Thanks, we're looking into this.

17 April 2024 Improved Diagnostics for Stardew Valley To help users set up their mods in Stardew Valley we've added three new diagnostic messages to the app. These messages use the mod manifest files and external metadata to inform the user of problems in their setup. Diagnostics are now shown to the user in the following situations: SMAPI is recommended when no mods are installed yet. (NEW!) The installed SMAPI version is too old to work with the game version. (NEW!) The game version is too old to work with the installed SMAPI version. (NEW!) An installed mod has missing dependencies. An installed mod's dependencies are installed, but they are outdated. An installed mod's dependencies are installed, but they are disabled. A mod that requires SMAPI is installed but SMAPI is missing. A mod that requires SMAPI is installed but SMAPI is disabled. A mod is marked as obsolete or broken (according to SMAPI). Preview changes before applying them A new view has been introduced letting users see how the changes they've made to their mods will alter the game files before committing the change by clicking "Apply". The preview view shows the game folder (and any other folders managed by the app) with a colour-coded system to highlight files that will be added, removed or changed. Other Changes Every new release squashes a selection of bugs and makes other less exciting changes. Here are the notable entries for this release: Fixed a bug where the SMAPI console would not open when starting the game on Windows. Fixed the left menu icons getting cut off under certain circumstances. Added a framework under the hood for the app settings UI. Improved the way the app handles its log files. Improved file handling, downloading from Nexus Mods and launching games via Steam on Linux. Try it out! If you'd like to test out the app in its current state, you can grab the latest build from GitHub. Warning: This is an early development build which is not suitable to use as a daily driver for mods. Please make sure you have a clean, unmodded game folder before using it and be prepared to have to re-do your modded setup each time you update the app as core functionality may change without notice. To report issues with the app, click here. What's coming next? It's still early days of the new app and we've got a whole load of features we're planning to build. The next stretch of work will be focusing on the following items: Loadouts - Creating multiple lists containing different combinations of mods and swapping between them. Mod Library - A central place to display all downloaded mods and how this interacts with adding/removing mods from a loadout. Settings - A section of the app where you can configure preferences. Change Handling - We're working on concepts we call "Apply" and "Ingest" internally which covers how changes to loadouts are applied to your game folder and changes made to the game folder outside of the app and synced back into your loadout.

Try uninstalling Vortex from the Windows's uninstaller and then install it again fresh.

If you still get this after a reinstall, it probably means something on your PC is sabotaging Vortex and breaking the install. This is very often poorly programmed anti-virus or security apps.

It might be a bit late, but this post probably contains relevant info https://modding.wiki/en/vortex/users/migrating-to-a-new-pc

Please see the pinned solutions post here:

Try restarting Vortex. Does that allow it to proceed?

I had forgotten about this caveat so the Vortex API key has been restored. It's really a good idea to look at updating to at least Windows 10 as soon as you can though!

The V1 API is designed for mod managers to be able to download files. It doesn't include a lot of the flavour data like those counts. I don't believe we have plans to add this to the V1 API but we are in the process of moving everything to a V2 GraphQL API that will be used to serve the pages on the site under the hood so should have more of the data you need. Out of interest, what do you need this for? Are you building something cool?

When you update your mod, it's best to hover over "Manage" on the previous version and select "Upload new version" OR put the old version into the field that says which file the new upload is replacing. If you didn't do this Vortex can't easily work out which file should be downloaded as an update. It's also worth noting that any free user account will be required to open the website anyway.

You can ask your questions here, sure

I'm afraid we can't provide support with Mod Organizer 2. You can ask the developers of that mod manager.

Vortex doesn't use API keys anymore, you probably have a super out-of-date version of Vortex, try downloading the latest version and install it over what you have.

This post is from 2012 with no replies for 11 years prior to your post. Please see https://status.nexusmods.com for any ongoing issues.

You can still see which mods you've endorsed from your download history page.

Try logging out and back in, this is probably a temporary issue caused by the extreme traffic we're seeing this weekend.

The last message in your screenshot implies you're using the "Vortex" or "Mod Manager Download" buttons without actually having Vortex installed. Click the "Manual" option if you're not using a mod manager.

All of those messages that say "blocked by client" are caused by browser addons in most cases. The website is very busy today, we've added an update to the status page about it: https://nexusmods.statuspage.io/

Yes, you don't need to change anything now.

That is a typo but I am surprised you weren't able to recognise that as there are several mentions of 377160 both before and after it. I've changed it now so it should all read correctly.

Which game store is your game from? Xbox game pass particularly doesn't let Vortex detect the version correctly due to DRM
