DirtyDingusMacgee Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 This is a new one to me (granted I'm new to this). Is this an issue with Vortex's handling of Cyberpunk mods (since it's in Beta) or an issue with GOG?. Is there any way I can fix it on my own? Thanks!

DirtyDingusMacgee Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 I may have spoke too soon. I think MIGHT have fixed this by manually adding the launcher to the executables in Vortex, and then making it the primary tool. Not sure if all of my mods are functioning, but it does seem to have cleared the error unless I'm just bypassing something important. (again, I'm new to this, and not super bright) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Why do you have Vortex pointing to your system32 in order to open the cmd.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Seems like you've moved/deleted the Windows Command Prompt EXE. That implies your Windows install is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was concerned about, but the file path does exist. It also only does this when launching Cyberpunk, so maybe it has to do with the way Vortex support is set up for that game?

What mods do you have installed? I know that a number of CyberPunk mods have been removed because they were malware, I really don't think that Vortex or any other Modding Program or Manager should be looking in your System32 folder for your cmd.exe fileThat's something a virus or malware would look for.

'That's what I was afraid of. I guess it's a good thing I have all of my game and engines on a totally separate hard drive. My mods are all graphical upgrades and character creation tools. I sort of just went into "most popular" and downloaded the ones that were still being supported. Looks like I'll have to purge the files and do a virus scan.

Only time will tell I suppose but maybe I dodged a bullet by not manually installing my mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 If the cmd.exe exists, it's very possible that Vortex is not allowed to view that folder (usually a result of over-zealous anti-virus software). Once your mods are installed you can probably launch CP2077 directly from the EXE or via GOG and play with the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
