Bug: 7 Days To Die Vortex plugin using V1 version for A21 instead of V2

[SMiThaYe]

HI, I'm getting regular reports that my mods aren't working for people playing the newly update A21 for 7 Days to Die and they have one thing in common, they're using Vortex.

 

So what looks to be occuring is that my ModInfo.xml is changing from this (compatible with A21):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xml>
	<Name value="Twice_As_Fast_Dew" />
	<DisplayName value="Twice as Fast Dew" />
	<Description value="Twice as fast Dew for fresh jars of water" />
	<Author value="SMiThaYe" />
	<Version value="1.0"/>
</xml>

To this, and Vortex is doing it (not compatible with A21 as this is now legacy V1 format for A20 and earlier):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xml>
	<ModInfo>
		<Name value="Twice_As_Fast_Dew" />
		<DisplayName value="Twice as Fast Dew" />
		<Description value="Twice as fast Dew for fresh jars of water" />
		<Author value="SMiThaYe" />
		<Version value="1.0"/>
	</ModInfo>
</xml>

The plugin for Vortex requires updating for V2 ModInfo.xml as my mods don't load and its saying its not compatible. Please note that I don't use Vortex for this game and all I have is feedback from players in my bug reports, which just state that the mod doesn't load, no errors/logs.

Please note that I tried disabling Vortex download option but it's not turning off. And I even stated to manually download my mods.

I hope this can be addressed as it is causing issues for others that are outside my control.

Edit 1: Another user has reported the same issue using Vortex, quote: "Vortex just says wrong file type and to tell the author. What am i doing wrong. Download through vortex does this and so does manual download"
