OK, so no one was replying to this, so I dug deeper. Found the Profiles in a Vortex folder in AppData/Roaming. So they aren't lost. The error message wasn't helpful, but then I ran verify on my Steam Installed Files and something that was missing in the base game was restored. Poof! It's back.

I'd really love to know if there is a way to restore the lost profiles....since one of them was a personal collection I spent weeks building!?!?!?!??! HELP!?!??!

Seeing the note about .Net 8.0 runtime, I exited Vortex, ran the .Net installer, then restarted Vortex. Did not change anything.

I have been managing one game in Vortex (Cyberpunk 2077). I have eight profiles. Or had, actually. I cloned my default profile (which is empty) and downloaded the updated City of Dreams (Heavy) by V2 rev 58 to it. Everything is fine. I close Vortex and then restart it, ready to delete the old profile for City of Dreams (Heavy) by v2 rev 57. Vortex says I am not managing any games at all. I tried to re-add Cyberpunk 2077 and end up with just my default profile, but an error saying "Failed to set game mode" I had other mod collections pending updates by their curators. I spent over 4 weeks preparing my own Collection with ~450 mods. I was just tweaking the last few, getting ready to publish it. It no longer exists?!?!? What the hell happened, and how do I get all my profiles back? The downloaded files are all there. Why is Vortex ignoring my existing profiles?!?!?!

Still love the Nexus! :)
