Vortex NOT fixed, reinstalled newest today 12th Feb 2025. Vortex still using PCBANKS\MODS.. "stagingPath": "H:\\Vortex Mods\\nomanssky", "targetPath": "H:\\GOG Games\\No Man's Sky\\GAMEDATA\\PCBANKS\\MODS", "files": [

I installed latest version Vortex 1.13.7 It still insists PCBANKS\MODS ?? Even creates it's own mods folder after I deleted the folder.

Thanks heaps, was getrting real frustrated wondering why none of my mods were loading. Thanks again.

You must be joking, You could just use the console command ShowPins(1) to show all locations, but a save with all treasure and Gwent without doing quests!! Now that would be a challenge.

Now that is one intense intro.

I do not know if this because of some mod I have (over 60), When selling huge amounts, (one of the mods is unlimited carry weight) By switching between Shop to Dismantle then back to Shop the merchants funds are replenished. Was wondering if it works for you too? GOG GOTY 1.31 edition. Installed from downloaded .bin files. So no auto updates.

Try searching Nexus for the Witcher 3 SCRIPT merger tool. Not the mod merger. I run over 60 mods that would have never ran without merging them.

Never mind that most games are international now. How would it recognise proper english spelling?

There are 2 reasons why fast travel is limited in all games. 1- A game like a book or movie is telling a story and fast travel CAN be like reading chapters out of sequence. Or the writers don't want you escaping a trap they went to all the trouble of writing onto the game just to kill you. Teach you to save your position more often. Rookie mistake! 2- Is technical. Computers are limited to what they are told to do. The more variables the bigger the program, the longer the load time. You want it to look good and be fast. It's a balance. Fast travel adds a huge amount of variables. What you think of as infinite load time isn't infinite, just may take a year or a century. A lock or loop is a totally different thing. Almost all computers have protection against that now. They stop. What most call a CRASH. Most often it's a variable of reason 1.

Could be the normal progression. Someone with the skill to mod a program has a heap of imagination. And.. Heap of imagination causes "What's new" syndrome. And.. There's always a new game needing a little imagination added. But, Some people that use mods think mmm.. wonder if I could do that to make that mod just a bit that way. And a new series of mods start. Bit like bananas, Tend to come in bunches.

This is a good idea. I load games on a different hard disc. That avoids most windows dramas about 'access denied' issues. Also when windows goes 'fizz pop dead' My games are fine.

Right click on whichever .exe you use OR even the short cut on the desk top. Select Properties at the bottom. Select Compatibility tab then check Run as Administrator. The game will always run as administrator.

Fav DLC. Point Lookout for sure. Quest. Gotta be Blood Ties. Sometimes just go mental and slaughter them all. Or see how many I can sneak kill. Though it is handy to get the blood feed option.

I found the FOMM (Fall Out Mod Manager) to be the bees knees for Fallout 3. Much better than the NMM. I only have a few games from steam but I mod them from Nexus. I mostly mod manually but NMM works fine on most games, just not Fallout 3. I only recently started using win 10 and FO3 ran fine straight away. There is a little program called VooDoo you might look into. If like me, you have quite a few older games, it solves most compatibility issues. First you want to create a folder to download your mods into. Put it anywhere except inside your game. Nexus always gives you the option to download manually. Do that. And download to your new folder. The Fallout Mod Manager is on this site. It will look confusing to start, but is is actually just a matter of trying it. Or even better watch a couple of tutorials on youtube. It will take the zipped file as is and install. But FO3 is kind of twitchy about load order and FOMM is very good at letting you mess around with that. It doesn't take long to see the logic in the load order that works, funny how computers are like that. A basic rule of thumb is the bigger the changes the mod makes (like patches) the closer to the top it should be and the more changeable mods (like followers as their data changes all the time) should be near last to being loaded. Never have anything above your main game and DLC's. Though I've never thought to try that to see what would happen?? If you look inside the bin folder inside Fallout (where most mods are put) it is always alphabetical and has no bearing on load order.

I am running FO3 from GOG. I downloaded the .bin files and installed it myself. I have found that if I use FOSE it crashes a lot. So I went back to older versions of FO3 that I have installed. (Heaps of TB's to spare) And they were the same. All 3 copies. If I don't use FOSE they rarely crash. I have 60+ mods on each copy, just different combinations for different builds. The only common is FOSE. When used, crash galore. When not, runs till I exit most times. So for me at least, it's the script extender that is causing the problem. I also don't understand where the idea of a limit to the number of mods comes from. As said mine runs fine with over 60 mods. The only difference it should make is on load times. As far as I know there was never a counter added to the base program to count mods. I did find the Unofficial Patch to be great for minor fix's and extended ram to 4GB makes a huge difference for smooth running. So, kind of wondering if it's a quirk on the 2 computers I have (one runs win 7 the other win 10) or other people have found the same.

What are your weapons of choice. There are so many to choose from. I find myself ending up with the same 4 each game. Sydney's 10mm Ultra machine pistol. My primary weapon Vengeance Gatling laser. Really good for the bigger super mutants. Frag Grenades. Always get a strange satisfaction from a well lobbed grenade. And Jingwei's shock sword if I don't revert to the fun of a good baseball bat. Sometimes I'll also have the Victory sniper rifle. For some reason I never liked the Guass rifle.

I also have the level 100 mod. Got to about 65 and didn't notice any difference to the enemies. Then made the huge mistake of watching a play through on Youtube.. WOW, I had missed a lot. New game.. level 47, watched another play through. Again.. How on earth did I manage to miss so much? And ' What's that mod' came up quite a few times. I can see this game lasting years. 30 levels is just way to low, always feel as though the game is cut short.

Elite on a BBC micro 1983. No typo. A bloke I worked with went to school with Ian Bell and got a copy nearly a year before it went commercial. Played it every night and weekend till I became Elite. Didn't really bother with anything else until 2004 when Elite became open source and reinvented as Oolite. Became truly addicted and still play today.

Docking! Wow there's a headache from the past.

Oolite is the open source game that players made when the code for Elite went public. It is far more than the original.

Have you heard of or even played Oolite? Or giving your age away Elite?

OOlite. It's a free open source spin off of the space trader game Elite. The quality of the graphics and game play puts most of the commercial games to shame. I have been playing it since the early 80's and it keeps evolving to make you want a better PC. Though can be played on the most basic PC's as well. The whole game and mods are written by the people that play it. There are literally thousands of mods to make your game actually your game. There are 2 real points in the game. The easier one is becoming Elite. The second is designing and building you own ship. I had never done anything like that. The game members made it quite easy. Unlike most games, it does not start in the paddle pool. As one writer said, It throws you in the deep end and just for fun puts some bricks in your pockets Of course now there is an academy that someone wrote for it. I had already became Elite years before that happened. There is no win or end to this game. It just keeps growing. You can play any role, Trader, Pirate, Bounty hunter, Join a war, be a taxi driver. Or all of them at the same time. And there are a whole heap of missions you can load. You will never visit every planet system in your real life time. So this game is not measured in hours, but years.

Censorship should only ever be imposed on you by you. I know what I like and what I don't. It is quite easy to ignore the I no like stuff. The problems begin when some idiot of infinite wisdom tries to impose their likes and dislikes onto others. Censorship should have nothing to do with laws or politics. I have always hated the idea of being told what I can or cannot read, watch or do. More often than not by some idiot that has no idea what they are talking about. Mary Whitehouse was a gas. or should have been. If you have no idea who Mary Whitehouse was. Just another idiot that thought she knew better, everyone should do as she said. She wasn't even a politician?

Things I like Little known facts. Clydesdales were bred as war horses to carry knights in armor. A normal horse would collapse under the weight. If you have ever seen a herd of Clydsdales, you will understand the term "Thunderous charge" Another.. Knights were short people, not much over 5 foot. The perfect armor you see in museums were armorers adverts. You just have to see the ones that survived from used. Also it was the "Bodkin" arrow head and the longbow that put an end to armored knights.

Err.. I was playing computer games probably before your parents were born. "18 and a half" Ain't you a bitty old for the half thing? But then again, did make me laugh.
