Issue with Vortex locking up when clicking on the mod section?

[Gwyn21]

This problem specifically happens with Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. I have been working on a collection. This one:

Avoiding all the usual problems and conflicting mods, putting everything in the right paths and folders, setting everything to replicate because most mods aren't allocated correctly, using exact only and prefer exact because of that. Despite how careful I have been, and specifically avoiding multiple mods that change the game_main.arc or mods that use the same arc file.

 

A clean install of the collection usually crashes midway, and when you close and restart Vortex? A new problem makes itself known. While the collection can continue and finish installing, and even goes so far as to properly deploy all of the mods?

 

The mod section is no longer functional. Every time you click on it? It causes Vortex to lock-up. All mods are there and activated, and even deployed properly. However, it becomes impossible to enter the mod section to disable any of them or make any changes to the list.

 

I have never experienced this problem before for any other game in Vortex. I have extensive experience modding Cyberpunk 2077 for example, and made another collection which has no such problems.

I heard something about how Vortex uses a dated version of the DDDA Tool or something for merging. Is that what is causing it? Is the merging amid the collection's installation causing crashes, and if so why does it ALSO break the mod section in Vortex for Dragon's Dogma?

 

EDIT:

 

Other weird things of note is that sometimes false errors are generated by merging. Which include files that are not from any of the deployed mods.

Okay, I am also having the exact same problem. Same game, same issue.

 

I did try to trouble shoot in a way. I can still change games but only directly after loading the manager and click on nothing else but the game selection menu in the top left.

 

Wanted to play DDDA after a long time not playing it and wanted to try modding it. Alas, seems we both encountered this issue.

 

If you or someone else figures this out, it would be appreciated to reply. Thanks in advance.

Haven't figured anything out yet. A simple solution would be to turn off any automatic merging I think. Since I think that causes the issue. The problem is I don't know how.

DLL Hooks also causes merging to happen. Quite a few mods do, and merging during a collection, breaks Vortex and the mod section for some reason.

I'll see if I can get this looked into for you. I don't currently have a copy of DD:DA myself.

I have installed the collection and it seems to work fine to me. Game starts, runs and afaict the mods work.

Does someone affected mind reproducing the issue, then send in a feedback (through the in-application feedback system) with your logs attached?

I think that might be because I removed the mods that effected bbsrpg and game_main.arc.Earlier it was happening to a lot of people. Myself included.

Tried it again, and yeah it worked. The problem wasn't Input Hooks at all. It was any mods that effected bbsrpg, title, and game_main arc files. They trigger this bug when merging activates amidst collection installation.

So which revision was it that had the crash?

All the versions that have mods that modify bbsrpg, title, and game_main. The automatic installation lock-ups Vortex when it reaches them. I found a quick fix by simply putting those mods on ignore, and installing them from the mod section instead. After downloading their archives. The current version went back to crashing because I brought them back.
