AugustaCalidia Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Are you asking for help or simply making a report? If the former, please direct your questions to the appropriate support forum. Since you mention a "purge button," I assume that you're talking about Vortex. Therefore you'll want to raise your issue in the Vortex Support Forum.

Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 let me ask you this; in your mind, what does "purge" mean? no googling for answers, i'd like to know what you think it means and why you pressed the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Vortex's purge feature would not have caused the issue in your screenshot. Purge simply removes the links. What it looks like happened is that you deleted everything in your game folder, then Vortex said "hey, I noticed you deleted a bunch of files, do you want to save this change?" you then clicked "yes" and it removed the files from the staging folder that you had deleted from the game folder. It may be too late now, but if that's not what happened I recommend reporting it via the in-app feedback option and including a log file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmm200 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Actually, based on reports - quite a few people.That is probably a special case Vortex should handle. Don't merge back deleted changes that empty a mod.At least put up a special warning: "This action will delete all contents for this mod. Continue?"

Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 seriously - that's just nuts.i mean if you delete the contents of your mods folder then purge - what other outcome is possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think you have it backwards.For whatever reason, the game directory loses it's hard link. It appears the mod is gone. When Vortex merges back the "deleted" file, the mod staging directory copy of the real mod is deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't merge back deleted changes that empty a mod.At least put up a special warning: "This action will delete all contents for this mod. Continue?" Vortex does already say "You're about to delete 5,1234 files, are you sure?" if it's removing a significant number of files during this step.
