This is half a year too late, but perhaps it'll help someone else. I notice that OP is using Revo Uninstall too. That was the cause of my "Your Vortex installation has been corrupted" error. Entirely my fault, because I used Revo too aggressively. This is how I solved the corruption without reinstalling. I got this error on Vortex Launch: [Window Title] Installation corrupted [Content] Your Vortex installation has been corrupted. This could be the result of a virus or manual manipulation. Vortex might still appear to work (partially) but we suggest you reinstall it. [Quit] [Ignore] Press Quit. That will exit Vortex and keep your error log small. If you press Ignore, then it will be too large to be useful. Open vortex.log in Notepad++ and scroll to the bottom of the file. If you check the timestamps, you only need to worry about the ones from your last launch attempt. Here's what mine looked like: 2024-10-16T23:31:22.977Z [INFO] -------------------------- 2024-10-16T23:31:22.977Z [INFO] Vortex Version 1.12.6 2024-10-16T23:31:22.977Z [INFO] Parameters C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\Vortex.exe 2024-10-16T23:31:22.989Z [INFO] start file validation 2024-10-16T23:31:23.469Z [INFO] file missing {"fileName":"resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\gameart.jpg","error":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\\Program Files\\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\\Vortex\\resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\gameart.jpg'"} 2024-10-16T23:31:23.469Z [INFO] file missing {"fileName":"resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\index.js","error":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\\Program Files\\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\\Vortex\\resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\index.js'"} 2024-10-16T23:31:23.469Z [INFO] file missing {"fileName":"resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\info.json","error":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\\Program Files\\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\\Vortex\\resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\info.json'"} 2024-10-16T23:31:26.796Z [INFO] done file validation 2024-10-16T23:31:26.796Z [INFO] Files were manipulated {"missing":["resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\gameart.jpg","resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\index.js","resources\\app.asar.unpacked\\bundledPlugins\\game-rimworld\\info.json"],"changed":[]} Do you see all of those missing "rimworld" files? I knew instantly what had happened. A few months ago I removed Rimworld using its uninstall process. It looked like Rimworld (and its expansions) weren't fully and cleanly uninstalled, so I removed them with Revo Uninstaller a few days ago and I told it to be thorough (scrub the registry and any odd Rimworld files). I've grown to trust Revo Uninstaller, so I didn't double check its work. I approved the files it wanted to delete. Evidently, it'd decided that Vortex's built-in Rimworld files were part of Rimworld's installation and needed to go. And that's why my Vortex installation was corrupted today. I went to my Recycle Bin and recovered the game-rimworld folder. Vortex now launches with no errors. Problem solved! It took longer to make this post than to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Good luck to y'all. And much love to the programmers for sending useful messages to the vortex.log file.

Even if you downgrade Witcher 3, how can you run it? It won't run without updating. Go to Steam and change to this: Only update this game when I launch it You should have an option to skip the update when you launch the game.

Errors are because your mods aren't compatible with the brand new 4.04 patch Either wait for the mods to update, or you can downgrade your game to 4.03 You can downgrade in GOG Galaxy easily enough. I'm waiting on a 49GB download and I've disabled further updates. Wish I'd thought to disable updates beforehand, but whatever. I should be up and playing soon. It's also possible to downgrade in Steam, although it's a few more steps. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-downgrade-steam-games/

I've newly installed SSE and have followed your instructions to clean my masters. My CRCs are different. I guess they've updated since your guide was written. After the automatic and manual clean, this is what I ended up with. Update.esm - 720EAC2B Dawnguard.esm - 5E276A10 HearthFires.esm - 39C80A37 Dragonborn.esm - 7C7D9763

Don't you want the one for daorigins.exe v1.05? :ermm: It's up to v1.05? Steam will give me v1.05 whether I want it or not... I'll look for an appropriate exe whenever I get around to reinstalling DA:O UE. Thanks for the heads up, Thandal.

Thank you. I found the vitality daorigins.exe. Hashes match yours. I'll store it away for when I reinstall DA:O UE v1.04.
