Well, the deploy date matters to me because that's when I started having the issue, the actual change may have been earlier but I wasn't affected by it. Yes, very likely, especially considering the error I posted above. I just wonder if it's possible to change it back into something more compatible.

My prime suspect is this script file, which seems to be hosted by Cloudflare and according to the HTTP response header it seems to be modified last on Wed, 20 Nov 2024 10:31:03 GMT, the very same date this problem started on my end. Cloudflare has many different servers and it's normal for people to experience the problem at different times, especially if they reside in different locations/countries. https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js

The screenshot shows again that the button has no associated events which explains why it's not working. The issue has nothing to do with our setup, people who have posted about the issue in this thread don't even seem to use the same browser, some say it's Chrome others mention Firefox, not to mention different versions, and the fact that these very same browsers were working fine before the issue and stopped working all of a sudden, clearly indicates a change in the code on Nexus side. We're not in a position to debug the code, whoever wrote it needs to look into it and find out why the script is failing to attach events to the button. I however doubt that anyone will. EDIT: The inline script which I posted above looks identical to the one for the working button, so that's probably not the culprit. Must be an off-site script causing the issue. If I knew the server-side process, the prerequisites for that script to work I could perhaps figure out a way to fix it. Perhaps this piece of code or what follows it may be the culprit, cause I don't get this error in the newer browser, looks like an external script on Nexus: Uncaught TypeError: AbortSignal.timeout is not a function callNotificationService https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16951 getUnreadCount https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16922 updateLocalStorageFromServer https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16956 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16959 dispatch https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 handle https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 add https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 ja https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 each https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 each https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 ja https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 on https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 b https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16959 i https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 fireWith https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 ready https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 J https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 promise https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16951:295 callNotificationService https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16951 getUnreadCount https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16922 updateLocalStorageFromServer https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16956 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16959 dispatch https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 handle https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 (Async: EventListener.handleEvent) add https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 ja https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 each https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 each https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 ja https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 on https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 b https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:16959 i https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 fireWith https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 ready https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 J https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 (Async: EventListener.handleEvent) promise https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 <anonymous> https://www.nexusmods.com/Contents/Scripts/BBoC-365d698bf2b50df99b993738c9d67fd9.js:6 If this is indeed what's causing the problem then it's a code compatibility issue, like I said before. Older browsers don't seem to support whatever it is doing. For people who've been experiencing this problem I would advise checking the browser console for this particular error or similar script errors.

I have already stated that this is NOT a browser issue, the browser was working fine two days ago and there hasn't been any updates to it or to the OS. Potential issue due to updates to addons are also eliminated when I ran the browser in troubleshooting mode with a new profile and no tracking protection. Moreover, the two browsers receive the same exact javascript code sent by the server (yes, I have compared them) excepting a few functions with seemingly randomized names. May sound strange but the issue could be related to Cloudflare. This thread was started at Nov 7th but I didn't have any issues at the 18th, which may indicate whatever is causing it is slowly propagating, which leads me to think that it may be an issue with Cloudflare. "Why does a newer browser work then?" you may ask, Cloudflare is known to cause arbitrary issues with browsers, which I have experienced in the past, not so arbitrary actually they seem to have certain browser lists (user agent) that they refer to which are occasionally updated and causes issues with certain versions of browsers. It's not that simple I'm afraid, for reasons I have stated in the reply to the post above. If I were able to use the most up to date FF, I would be using it right now. I have a newer version that seems to work for now but FF ceased support for my OS so it also won't last forever. Updating the OS is out of question because then I would have to throw away the whole system to do that, so I would rather cease using Nexus at that point.

Could be multiple reasons: The OS or its version no longer supported by FF, e.g. 32-bit OS, Windows 7/8, older Linux distro; unable to or don't wanna update OS, graphics driver issues with new web rendering methods, unwilling to throw away hardware running perfectly etc. etc.

My browser (Firefox portable) has never been updated, in fact I specifically turned browser updates off and certainly not within the past few days, and as I've stated above, right now I'm not using any addons, browser settings are all at default (new/clear profile) in troubleshooting mode and manually turned off enchanced tracking. Clicking on "Slow Download" button does nothing, unlike the "Fast Download". Not an addon issue, not a tracking issue, the button's functionality in other words its script is the problem. Yes, I have tried with a newer version of FF portable and the button worked there, which tells me that either the button's script or one of its dependencies has been changed/updated by Nexus which rendered it incompatible with older browsers. EDIT: The difference between the working button and the nonworking is that the one that works has EVENTs, in other words, it responds to clicks. The one that doesn't work on my browser (older version of FF) DOES NOT have any EVENTs attached to it, i.e. it doesn't respond to clicks, which is why it doesn't work. The code for button that doesn't work: The one below works in a newer FF. Very likely caused by a recent change to the script (or its dependencies) that assigns functions to that button, which no longer seems to be able to do it. The page renders a button that does not responds to clicks because it's not assigned any functions. Likely an issue with the inline script below which seems to be the code that assigns the buttons function, at least as far as I can see on client side.

I'm not using Vortex or any other mod manager to download mods, which is why I'm using Manual Download instead. I'm posting this message from the same browser (Firefox) which was working 2 days ago, except this time in troubleshooting mode, in a new profile with no addons and I also turned off enhanced tracking for Nexus. The button still not working. The Fast Download button to the right on the other hand has no issues. Download doesn't even start, so a connection issue is irrelevant. The issue here is the script attached to that button, whatever the recent change was to that code in the past two days, changed the button's functionality and rendered it incompatible with my browser.

Clicking on the Manual download button which takes me to Slow Download option clicking on it does nothing. It was working fine 2 days ago on the same exact browser with the same exact settings/addons. When I inspect the source code of the "Slow Download" button it doesn't contain any URL but has this instead: "data-download-url="#ERROR-download-location-not-found". Seems like a site problem with downloads, CDNs etc. rather than a user related one.
