Need help! Vortex says "create ingame profile" - game utterly borked. reinstalled. Now what?

[SeedReaper]

I can't find any instructions for this and there's no obvious choice on the menu.

 

Also, Vortex wants to force Vulkan when Vulkan is broken (for me and others, apparently)

 

Using steam>Larian launcher.

 

I already had to nuke my entire install and re-install from scratch (TWICE because first nuke wasn't thorough enough) because after trying to launch from vortex, game just froze at playing music on loading screen. no menus, no nothing.

 

I don't even want to try installing mods until I know what's needed to do it properly. Yes i had the full release mod fix installed in the right place, and only one mod. LSlib/Divine Tool and Export Tool which for some reason showsed up even though I never asked for it, were 2 "mods" I couldn't figure out, and I went ahead and deployed both plus the one mod I had intentionally downloaded, Animate Dead Plus Plus.

 

Everything is disabled now, and ExportTool v1.8.2 is "never installed". See:

 

 

I am going to wait to find out what I need to do in order to not make my game freeze again. I have fiber internet, but 127 GB still takes a long time.

Solved it myself. It wanted a LAN party type profile i guess. Sheesh.

Can you tell me how you did this fix? I'm stuck with the same dilemma and I'm so lost in the sauce. Please and thanks my friend <3
