    How odd. Can you try logging out and back in? There isn't much that would stop that appearing other than a borked up login session or browser addons/settings messing with the page 

    I don't know what was changed, but I got the report button back, without needing to re-login.

  2. In response to post #118755008.

It's not game over until it's game over, though.

    Perhaps sending legitimate and constructive feedback towards CD Project RED is a good idea and could still change things. Let's all stay civil while we're at it.


    Big mods like that cause more issues than solve, so there a logic reason to not include it.

    I already find the fact they included FCR3 - Immersion and Gameplay Tweaks an extremely bad idea, since it changes gameplay (those types of changes should be optional).

    I'm just glad I got the game on GoG, I won't be forced to update, I don't need nonsense ray tracing and any visual upgrades are entirely done by the mods listed.
  3. That first link is simply Nexus reminding authors that they can't bypass Nexus rules by having the rule-breaking parts off-site but linking to them from here. It's a reminder that such exploits are not allowed. It isn't a change, just a warning that enforcement is about to increase.

     

    The second required no extra work for the mod authors and was necessary to make Collections work.

     

    Support has no similarities. Nexus users are not kept from getting support by it being on a different site. They just have to make an account for that site if they want to use it. Nexus has no need to cater to "but my information...." complainers. If you're worried, just use fake information on the other sites.

     

    As for how are they doing "double the work?". Maintaining two support sites with two bug report methods and having to answer the same questions over and over at both sites. Why should they have to do that so that you don't have to create an account elsewhere?

    If you took the time to read the articles you would see what I mean. The first article is a reminder for you, to changes to guidelines that bothered modders age ago.

     

    The second article is the most recent example, and there's is nothing about collections that spells useful and good for modding, most collections we have to date are untested and unstable, some of them have MODs that aren't even supposed to work together. So collections hasn't done anything to make modding easier (as Nexus states), if anything if only served to lose MOD authors over a useless feature that is causing more problems than solving.

     

    The authors are not maintaining anything, answering the same questions is the bread and butter of every day author (is why some MOD pages have over 5 stickies).

     

    Not to mention duplicate entries happen regardless of using one platform or two, and there are options available on Nexus to avoid that.

     

    But honestly I don't wanna waste my day arguing about this, if Nexus wanna keep getting neglected is fine by me, we should deprecate the bug tracker that is never used (and wasn't even updated along the rest of the website) and restrict the post section to author FAQs since no one cares about feedback and support on Nexus.

  4. You're saying "make them do double the work".

     

    And I have no idea what you are talking about with this "on other systems" bit.

    Here, Reminder: Donation Options and Guidelines at Nexus mods and community

     

    I don't think I even need to mention this one, which caused big drama recently to the point it reached the media when big MOD authors jumped ship (reached a point Nexus tried to steal and publish files without permission...), An important notice and our future plans for collections at Nexus mods and community

     

    There been more than enough changes to policies and systems to annoy authors. How are they doing double the work?

  5. On a practical side, trying to force mod authors to use Nexus for support could cause a loss of mod authors on the site. For no benefit other than "I don't want to make an account on another site". Not worth it.

    They can still provide support on other platforms, I'm just saying they should also provide support on Nexus (instead of making it exclusive outside Nexus).

     

    Plus Nexus already made changes like this on other systems, and they already lost modders.

  6.  

     

    They just using Nexus to reach a wider audience and free advertising while not providing support to Nexus users, keeping it all under their own community outside Nexus, this is wrong!

     

    Why? Nexus runs by mutual benefit of the Nexus owners, the mod creators and the users.

     

    If having the file on here benefits the Nexus owners (more content to drive page views/memberships), the mod creator (wider audience and free advertising) and the user (they found and downloaded the mod here) then how is it a problem?

     

    Basically, you want to force the mod author to do something they don't want to do instead of you just not downloading the mod if you don't like the support.

     

    I fail to see what downloading MODs has to do with Support, not to mention this does not affect me in the long run, I can fix and make my own MODs (both of which I no longer share on Nexus for my own reasons).

     

    Nothing changes the fact is wrong to not give Nexus users support, making it an exclusive feature on their own community (so is not something they don't wanna do). If the authors don't wanna waste their time and energy supporting a MOD is our choice, neither is that what is being discussed here.

     

    I personally would rather not go back to older projects that just work, cause a newer version of the modding tools is causing bugs (Frosty is heavily guilty of this).

  7. The primary point of having a Nexus account is so that you can be moderated as necessary.

     

    Having access to all the other features is a benefit for you.

     

    Forcing mod authors to maintain support here when they already have other solutions in place makes no sense. They aren't even required to have any support at all.

     

    If you don't want to use other support sites, then simply don't download the mod. You aren't being forced to do anything.

     

    You way off track, there's nothing to moderate if you don't have an account, you just download MODs. Not to mention the current account requirement system can be easily bypassed anyway.

     

    Plus no one said the mod authors are forced to support their MODs, but they should support their MODs on Nexus if they are supporting it somewhere else (there have been multiple changes on Nexus to reinforce this, which are not being applied on this particular issue yet).

     

    They just using Nexus to reach a wider audience and free advertising while not providing support to Nexus users, keeping it all under their own community outside Nexus, this is wrong!

     

    If we must join other communities to get support, it entirely defeats the purpose of using Nexus anyway, since in most cases the files are available outside Nexus as well.

     

    There's also the fact the bug report section of Nexus hasn't been touched with the site upgrade, is in need of an overhaul.

  8. Means the file you using is outdated, Elden Ring will revert the regulation.bin changes if it detects is outdated.

     

    Most MODs haven't been updated to 1.05 yet, not to mention you shouldn't use Mod Engine 2 for the regulation.bin, the file needs to replace the original.

  9. Back when Nexus forced everyone to have Nexus accounts to download MODs, one of the arguments was to help people get more involved with the community and provide feedback on MODs.

    However that argument falls on thin water, when Nexus allows MODs to redirect the Nexus Community to other communities in order to get support and provide feedback.

    Most recent example I have is this, Cyber Engine Tweaks at Cyberpunk 2077 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

    Straight from the MOD page:

    The discussion section and the comment section here are not for posting bugs or troubleshooting. (so the discussion forum was removed, as was the bug report section because we want the bug reports on the github page or on discord).


    I believe Nexus should not allow MODs that force the community to register and share (third-party) account data in order to get support, it pretty much forces the Nexus community to join other communities to get support on content that is on Nexus.

    Some MODs take it a step forward and we have no option whasoever to even comment on their pages, BethINI at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

    I question again what is point of enforcing Nexus accounts, when we can't even provide feedback nor file bug reports on the Nexus itself. Not to mention this splits the Nexus community between those that are ok sharing all their account data and joining multiple communities to get support on multiple MODs, and those that would rather have everything centralized on Nexus.

  10. In response to post #70445933. #70451428, #70464558 are all replies on the same post.

Until those basic features that have been in NMM for years are part of this, I see no reason to switch. I mean no disrespect and I know how much hard work this must be, but these are basic things we already had and they seem to be things left out only out of spite and not demand or practicality imho.

    Loveblanket wrote: I understand how to do it in Vortex, I just see no reason to add multiple steps instead of just letting me slide the thing where I want it. Speaking in engineering terms, development is supposed to make tasks easier, not more complex. It's nice to have the deeper functionality of Vortex system, but there's no reason not to just let us slide the things around as we do in NMM. Don't get me wrong, the manual load order thing I can live with, the renaming thing I can't. I have used my own categories through changing the mod name for years so I can easily find what I'm looking for. I'm way too OCD to change that now. I appreciate the response though and I do experiment with Vortex from time to time hoping these features will get in someday. Cheers!


    It won't happen, this has been asked since day one, and as you can see the developers don't care and find it unneeded.
  11. The only way to manage the load order in Vortex is through Groups and Rules (can take some time to get used to, but works), you have the option to change the INDEX manually but is far from user friendly.

     

    Also don't forget to disable automatic sorting, it gets in the way a lot, and tends to ignore your groups.

  12. Okay, so I went and completely uninstalled the game, made sure there weren't any mods installed, started a new game, the whole cannoli.

     

    And it still freezes on me. So, I've just given up until I can maybe figure something out.

     

    Hi, it seems you could have either a driver issue or hardware issue, I suggest you make a clean install of the latest GPU drivers.

     

    This is not however a temperature issue, nor MOD conflict issue (as you claim to have started the game clean with no MODs and still freeze).

     

    Quite honestly the only time I saw this happening, was then the game would run out of memory in LE, which is something ENBoost fixed, if you using ENB please enable speedhack.

     

    SynValorum, please make your own topic.

  13. This is normal.

     

    All clothing and armour are "folded" in your inventory as well as when you drop it on the ground. They are different meshes than what you actually wear.

     

    Only clothing and light armor, as heavy armor can't be folded (obviously).

     

    That behaviour is intended.
