You can update the game locations by going to the Games tab, clicking the little + on the tile and select "Manually set location". Vortex finding the wrong location may mean that you moved the game without properly doing so via Steam, so your Steam library still points to the wrong place.

If hardlink doesn't appear it simply means that for whatever reason your current config doesn't support it. Either the game and staging folder aren't on shared drives or the drive they are on won't allow it. It may even be a permissions issue of some kind within Windows.

There's likely a problem with DLL file in the title of that pop-up. It's not a Vortex problem though, so you may want to ask on the mod page that file came from.

Hi Errant,
 
This help article may answer your question: https://modding.wiki/en/nexusmods/collections/create/add-external-mods

Mods that (unnecessarily) check if Skyrim.esm is enabled in the FOMOD are currently bugged.
 
There is already a topic about this here https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/11124078-vortex-155-incompatibility/?view=getnewpost

This issue should now be resolve in 1.5.5 - thanks to everyone who helped us track it down!

This sounds like a problem with NMM (which we no longer support, and haven't since 2016).
 
You can manage Vortex's download settings in the Settings -> Download tab.

Try going to %appdata%/Vortex and delete the "themes" folder. You likely have a custom theme installed which is corrupted.

Check your settings in Settings -> Interface -> Automation.
 
You have provided very little information so I can't help you further without more details.

Vortex supports ~150 of the 1,500+ games on the website. Sadly, DAI isn't one of them. As it says at the bottom of the games tab, anyone can make an extension if they have the knowledge of how modding a particular game works.

Yes, you can download it with Vortex and it will just sit there waiting for you to manage the game again.

If you have nothing installed mod-wise you might want to go to %Appdata% on your PC and delete the Vortex folder. This will reset everything to default which may help undo any weird settings that have been applied.

So Origin likely left some files behind.

^ In C:\ProgramData\Origin\LocalContent there will be a .mfst file pointing to that location.

Hmm, thanks for the screenshots.
 
Are you running a custom theme, the slightly enlarged fonts would support that? If so you can you try reverting to the default one?
 
You may also want to turn off "Nexus Mods account banner" as that seems to be filling the entire dashboard in your setup for some reason.
 
A regular dashboard screenshot would look like this: https://i.imgur.com/JrMyX4U.png

Check the "Extensions" tab for anything that is "Disabled" or "Failed". Anything starting with "Gamebyro" needs to be enabled.

Ok, try going to the AppData\Roaming\Vortex folder and delete the "Themes" folder.

This is related to how the uploader decided to upload their files. You can only mark one mod file as the latest. You can use this extension if the icon is bothering you: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/171

It can take a few minutes for your actions in Vortex to reflect on the website.

Skyrim SE does not need archive invalidation, so the option does not appear. If the BSA files need the dates updating Vortex will send you a notification when you first manage the game with a "Fix" button.

I've hidden RumblestrutPig's unhelpful reply. I believe you have been able to resolve this yourself based on (what I assume are) your comments in the support Discord server.
 
 
Basically, somehow your mod list got corrupted (there are many possible reasons for this) but when you deleted a mod that updated it and may have automatically fixed the issue - or the mod you removed was causing the problem.

Just delete them from the list if it bothers you.

Turn off GPU acceleration in the Vortex settings. It's your GPU driver causing this.

You need to click it in the games list to download the extension. It is maintained by a community developer and must be installed before you can use it: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/272

So are you saying XCOM2 isn't in the list at all?
 
Check the "Extensions" section for XCOM 2 and see if it is there and disabled.
 
If XCOM2 is in the list, click on it and tell Vortex which folder it is in.

Try going to the path it is mentioning (C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\plugins\) and delete the Witcher 3 folder.
