If you migrated from another PC there may also be a permission issue accessing the appdata folder. For the sake of testing rename the "Vortex" folder under appdata to "Vortex_backup" then start the app and see if you get the same error. If you don't, it means the contents of the Vortex_backup folder doesn't have the right permissions for Vortex to see/edit it. (Delete the new Vortex folder and rename the backup to undo this)

For help with the extension you can contact the uploader here: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/476 It looks like it's a templated extension, so it may not fully work as expected.

You can also change the "Source" from Nexus Mods to "Other".

For help with this extension, contact the developer here: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/532 It looks like you just need to create the folder referenced in the error.

Thanks for providing the details on how you fixed this. I think something in 1.8 has made this issue more prevalent. Added to GitHub: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/14324

When do you feel you had this ability? As far as I know you've only ever been able to post an article on an existing mod page, but can use the media share to post an image/video along with some text to showcase your WIP mods.

Posting the error stack without any context won't allow us to help you I'm afraid. Based on the type of error it appears that Vortex timed out when trying to connect to something online. This is either a connection problem or something on your PC blocking Vortex from communicating with the internet if I were to take a guess.

Disable them in Vortex, deploy the changes, start the game. Rinse and repeat :)

Really as the developer the minimum you could do is allow DLLs and assets to be dynamically loaded from a mods folder. Most Unity games make use of BepInEx so that's worth looking at.

Sounds like option 1 on the error's troubleshooting steps work out then! :)

Users on Windows 7/8/8.1 will receive the following error on start-up. The procedure entry point DiscardVirtualMemory could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll As of version 1.8, Vortex is no longer compatible with older versions of Windows. We recommend updating to Windows 10 or 11 where possible, but for users who cannot do that the steps below will allow them to continue modding on the last version of the app which supports their version of Windows. Download the Vortex 1.7.8 installer. (Custom location version here). Temporarily disable the internet connection to your PC - Important: Failing to do this will cause Vortex to auto-update to the latest version. Install Vortex 1.7.8 over the top of the current version. Start Vortex, ignoring any warnings about downgrading. Open "Settings -> Vortex -> Update" and select "No automatic update". Restore the internet connection to your PC and restart Vortex. Please note we cannot provide support for users on an outdated version of Vortex. If you encounter an issue it may have already been addressed in the latest release.

Based on the report your provided, you just haven't deployed the mod. Follow the instructions under the Bell icon for help fixing this. Be aware that if your game/staging folder are on an external drive it may not work if the drive isn't using an NTFS file system.

I can confirm, Vortex no longer supports Windows 7. The latest version of Electron (and Chromium) that Vortex uses will not run on Windows 7 or 8 and has a minimum requirement of Windows 10. You can try using an old build of Vortex (not recommend) or see if there's a mod manager out there that still supports the older OS.

Should be fixed now. People do weird stuff with BBCode sometimes that can cause problems.

Best thing you can do is disable mods in batches until the problem goes away, then re-enable them one-by-one until the problem returns. That will tell you what caused it.

What operating system does your PC use? KERNEL32.dll is a core Windows file IIRC - if Vortex can't interact with that it's either super out of date or damaged.

Did you upgrade from a super-old build of Vortex to the latest? It seems like there may have been invalid data in the old build which got pruned out in the new one.

Based on your test results, the worldwide CDN should give you the best speed. Was it slow the entire time or did it slow down after a while? Some ISPs throttle their customers after a certain amount of data has been downloaded. Do you have access to a VPN to see if that gives you a better connection?
