Hi folks. Im using 1.9.12.0 Vortex and Im having an issue with removing it and reinstalling. It keeps installing things that I want removed - indeed why Im trying to reinstall vortex in the first place.
Even my collection isnt safe - vortex keeps installing mod rules for mods I dont own.
I usually use the vortex/addremove to remove files. But vortex leaves a ton of files. I hunted down every file with the word vortex in the title. Reinstalled Fallout 4 and Vortex and it came back. Somewhere in my computer like a virus is hidden info Vortex is using that I cant scrub. Even disconnecting from the internet and then trying to install didnt help. Oh and each time I delete the fallout folder from my documents too.
Ive also started getting Unhandled exception "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" at 0x7FF71D0589A3 Fallout4.exe+03F89A3 crash to desk top now after a few minutes of play and esp on trying to load a save.
Im not sure if this is two problems or one at this point. Its been 3 days since I could play fallout because of this.
I was quite happy with my mod archive I maintained. Every mod since I started modding was in there. My First Mods being one to make Preston spammy, a weight increase, and a preset I had no idea how to get to work :P
It was over 900 gigs - some 2000 mods.
When I was installing some mods I accidentally dropped my archive into Vortex. Out of amusement I trid to get them running (I think I managed around 800 of them sort of working together). But overall this broke Vortes something fierce. So after amusing myself I deleted the mods from Vortex, couldnt, so I went to reinstall Vortex.
What I didnt know is every mod thats placed into Vortex gets a file added to it - saying its managed by vortex. When I removed Vortex it scrubbed my drive of every single mod. Since it wasnt deleted normally the Windows options to recover it failed. I had a few empty folders left and that was all.
I search in my mod archive files for the vortex word and delete the files now. But it hurt to lose 4-5 years of mods. Mods I got from translating Japanmese and Korean websites to download. I havent the foggiest where I can find them again. All my lost anime
So all Im using is my build collection with some city plans Im trying to work on.
Im using a HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15z-ec200. Processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz. 6 cores. 16 gb of ram. 64bit system. with Windows 10 Home.
