[Vortex Alpha Release]

Well Well well, It seams over all it is about 50/50 for those who like or don't VORTEX. personally I like it. Just for the Fact that it really helps with the load order WAY Better than Loot or NNM. I like to call out for cycle-lit redundancy and the Master to dependency. These are all things I have had problem with in the past.

The 2 issue I have with Vortex is the view. I would like to control the size of the window with in each screen So things fit better.

And I am still having problems launching my games thru VORTEX. All and All I LIKE IT. Keep up the good work.

 

As to the slowness of the program. I really don't see it. And for those that complain about it and are on WINDOWS 10, your issue is not Vortex it is CORTANA!!!!! This Windows 10 program tries to in-bead itself into every program you have installed. When I ran Win10, Cortana use almost 48% of the MEM resources. Oh and good luck trying to shut cortana down. It is in over 120 locations with in the registry. And if you miss just 1 when ever you do an update it will reinstall. :( :P.

I got kicked from a BF4 server omly because when the admin checked they could not trace me. Tried hard and it gave them 3 different locations, one of which was Czechoslovakia.

You people assume because it is Bethesda they will not pull dirty tricks to gain money. Remember subscription for ESO? How about the paid mod program? Then there was this game. There was no backwards compatibility and charge for the 2k dlc. 60 bucks to play on console. For what? s#*! we have played for years.

Your antivirus is junk because it did not pick up that Bethesda was digging to deep into your system. Places they need not be. I contacted my my provider and a few hrs later tried again. It installed without admin rights, I did not have to give it special permission. It did not screw up anything like drivers on my system and I have no issues. Ran a scan and there are no viruses or malware. Can you say the same? Oh, that is right, yours did not pick it up the first time. lol

You must be using an AV with a LOT of False Positives then.

I use Kaspersky and it didn't complain at all

What anti-virus program are you using, Avast or AVG?

Because 99.9% of people who claim that EVERYTHING is a virus, use one of the two Anti-Virus programs I mentioned.

Aragingmonk wrote: I use avast and it did pick up the win 32 files in this launcher. I reported it to avast, because the launcher would not let run it in a sandbox. A few hrs later I came back and tried the install a second time. It went in with no issues.

I do not claim everything is a virus and Avast did not make that claim either it flagged it as potential. With the number of companies harvesting and selling data I would rather have a false positive to deal with then find out to late.
(edit) Installed Steam, Uplay, and Origin on this machine and Avast was silent. Not one alert. Thx

That may trigger an antivirus when they start digging through your system.

holytimes wrote: As someone who is studying and working in the field of cyber security, i can safely say that the statement of "1 in 14 downloads contain malware" Is so insanely misleading that it hurts. If we include the scope of every file on the entirety of the internet, including torrents and other such shadier things then i MIGHT be able to agree with the idea that 1 in 14 downloads contain malware.

Also if you do plan to use a AV then use one that is well maintained. Avast is a good example of one that is not. If you honestly want to keep your self safe then you would be much better served with common sense, a script blocker and a well maintained and updated web browser.

Also Fear mongering, and that is in fact what you are doing here. By stating your antivirus "went nuts three times" is a awful practice and you should feel ashamed. If you honestly feel that malware of some form was detected then please for the love of god state what AV you are using and what kind of flag was thrown when you make these claims. That way others know what to look out for and you wont just make the more jumpy people too scared to touch anything.

Half my of life i have had to deal with the side effects of people like you who make sweeping claims like this and terrify people into having bad practices. So please stop, you are not helping anyone. If you want to help then make a proper report to your AV maintainer.

I installed with out any issues and I use Norton 360 Suite and believe me if there was a virus Norton would have found it.
