[Vortex for Linux!]

I just switched. If you support Linux, I will be able to use your tools/games. If you do not, I may be able to find a workaround. If neither option is available, I will not be a customer, and sometimes that will make me sad, but my desire to use Linux is stronger than my desire to use any one product or service that runs on Windows, so I hope you can accommodate this fast growing potential customer base. In fact, consider it retention, because now that I've moved to Linux, I can't use your tools anymore, so the lack of Linux support has lost you a customer. I have paid for your sub and would do so again when I needed it, if it was Linux friendly.

[A few tips from the focus group]

It worked! Thank you!

Adding to the Known Issues thread.

EDIT: Or not. Maybe a mod can. It's not publicly editable, fair enough I guess.

 

Issue: Clicking Download with NMM button on mod pages opens a browser page with an error that the file type is unknow.

 

Solution:

1) Open Vortex, go to Settings.

2) Enable Advanced Settings.

3) "Download" tab at the top of the same page.

4) Set to handle downloads. Make sure it says Download with manager. Click the Fix box if using Chrome.

 

 

 

I signed up for a premium last night, and immediately started trying to download mods via the NMM button on the mod page, with Vortex installed. It takes me to this error page: https://i.imgur.com/hPBsRqZ.png

I've tried in Edge as well, it also fails.

I have 7Zip installed. I tried setting it as the default app to open the manually downloaded files hoping the association might be the issue, but nope.

I've never installed another mod manager on this Windows install (fresh install this week).

I've run skyrim VR calibration (the three steps to team you to teleport, choose your movement options, etc). Is that enough or do I have to go into an actual game and create a save file? I've copied over my save file from a game I was already running up to level 10, so perhaps that counts?

 

Any pointers would be appreciated. I can manually download the mods and then drag them into the Vortex box to import them.

Your error message indicates that NXM files are not associated with anyone - not NMM, not Vortex.

As far as I know, the steps I list will fix the associations. If I am wrong, someone will chime in and give the correct ones.

[Question about downloading mods via Vortex]

I would guess this is the tool detecting what your plan allows. If you're running on a dial up connection, you won't get those speeds, but Vortex is saying they aren't the bottleneck.

 

I'm probably wrong, flame away.

[Virtual install expected on C. Where is it getting this?]

Adding to this one. TESO/NMM install issues.

 

Game is installed on E:\Steamlibrary etc

Mod Directory: E:\Installs\NewNexus

Install Info: E:\Installs\NewNexus\TESO install info

 

VirtualMod is demanding to be set up on C: which is an SSD with limited space. I don't want to run TESO mods there. More users will want to run them on other drives, as SSD/NVME drives are still fairly small capacity and expensive.

 

I'll see how sym/hardlinks go for handling it, but I'm worried I might need to create one per mod? Not sure yet.

This is a workaround that might fail or become difficult to manage down the road. If we can get a how-to drawn up for new users, it might help until a more permanent solution is available. I'll see if I get time for this.
