Pickysaurus Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Well not as bad as my situation.I installed 1.5.4 and got the unresolvable file conflict. So I rolled back to 0.13.1. Vortex set me up with all new Download and Mod staging folders for Skyrim SE. New paths. When I try to tell Vortex where those actually are, Vortex will not let me. "Directory must be empty". Until I figure out how to resolve this - without damaging my hard links - all my mods are gone. Why did you roll all the way back to the Alpha build of Vortex? 0_o" If you'd reinstalled 1.4.17 it probably would've been recoverable but going back that far may have damaged your state file to the point where it will take a fair bit of effort on your part to repair it.

z3r0XYZ Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I reverted back to 1.4.17 it works now, but like what now, should I just not update vortex till next version or..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Well I could still use some advice. I reinstalled 1.5.4 I am pretty much willing to concede my Skyrim SE and it's 20 profiles are all toast since I can't find where Settings are stored.. Everything in Skyrim SE Downloads, the game directory, and the staging directory are intact.It is only the Vortex pointers to those entities that are messed up.Everything in AppData (profiles, etc) look good. What about my other games? Since they were not active during this transition, are they safe to switch to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldritch68 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Same problem here, had no problems yesterday, but after updating there are a bunch of unresolvable conflicts that weren't there yesterday. Just spent two hours banging my head against a brick wall trying to get Skyrim SE to run. Looove wasting what little spare time I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submit the report Mike, is it possible for you to create a sticky for this issue, asking for that information that the devs require? i' hate for this important post to be lost?
