Orfant deattached tool references

[ID8879488948574]

I've updated the app to the latest version (was running something quite old before that) and now it constantly spams with warnings like these (copied the exact message):

[Window Title]
The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled. (1463) (1463)

[Main Instruction]
The operation failed with an unknown windows error code.

You can try continuing but you do so at your own risk.

[Content]
Possible error causes:
1. "E:\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data\TES5Edit\xedit.exe" is a removable, possibly network drive which has been disconnected.
2. An External application has interferred with file operations (Anti-virus, Disk Management Utility, Virus)


[Cancel] [Ignore] [Retry]

 

 

Now the disk "e:" references I had in some very old profiles and I've deleted those now. I've checked all the tools I have like xEdit and whatnot and indeed some had the path set to the non-existent disk. I've fixed those and the swarm of messages reduced from 40-50 to maybe 5-6 but I can't get from where the last of them are coming. It's very annoying because it happens every time when I switch games or deploy mods. Is there a way to just fix it though some config file? If not, is there a way to just shut these down? They don't even do anything, ignoring them bears no consequences.

Did you update to the latest stable release or the beta version? My experience with Vortex beta versions in the past is that some features do not work right -- even those features that worked before in earlier stable versions. I just use stable versions now.

 

Some of your file paths might still point to your E: drive. In the Vortex Mod window click on Open... and check each of the paths listed. If any of them do point to E:, you need to fix that. Use the Vortex Knowledgebase to find out how -- or search YouTube regarding Vortex installation. You might want to pay specific attention to how Vortex uses symlinks.

 

Did you install your games, mods, mod tools, etc. to C:/Programs... instead of a new folder created in the root (usually C:) directory like C:/Games? The default Windows install directories do not play nice with mod managers of any kind. Installing there can make using and making mods harder or near impossible. That's why mod users and authors advise against installing to a default Windows folder.

 

Finally, you may need to add an exception to your antivirus program to allow your mod manager to download mods unimpeded. Check your antivirus instructions to find out how to do that.

I did this already. I checked all I could and none of it leads to "e:"; I even recursively searched for this "e:" in Vortex local app data - and in fact, there are references there but the problem is that it only in the files that in creates "on the fly", I failed to find the hard configs with it anywhere - but I don't know where to look.
