showler Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Whatever game you plan to mod today, type the name in the search bar at the top of the games listing, then select "manage". Next time you want to start modding a game, do the same with that game. There's really no reason why you should have all of them done at once.

countrydad21 Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 i can do that but id like to have it scan so i dont have to manually select the folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It will scan for that specific game when you select that specific game to manage. You should only need to manually select the folder if the scan doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 If you have to manually select the folder, it means Vortex couldn't find the game on Steam, GOG, Xbox, UPlay or Origin on your PC. Each game extension has to include the relevant metadata to detect the game on those platforms. If the metadata isn't known, then it means you'll have to pick it manually. If it's not working either there's something weird with your game store data or you may not have a recognised copy of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it working on my old pc but that was a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Have you tried clicking the game from the games tab? That's all you should need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
