cant change game exe location manually for Jedi Fallen Order.

[stoolzo]

please be gentle - noob.

I just installed Vortex to install the Jedi fallen order mod. I added the game but accidentally chose the wrong game path as:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Fallen Order

After reviewing the videos it states this path has to be where the game exe is located which is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Fallen Order\SwGame\Binaries\Win64

If I click "manually select location" and browse to this it doesnt change, it just stays with the original incorrect path.

I tried removing the game and wiping the profile but now each time to comes up with this wrong path, any idea why cant I change this?

Hi @stoolzo

The path you've already chosen should be fine. Have you tried to install a mod & make sure it works in game ?

I gave up on it, I tried, it just didnt work. Then someone told me on the UEVR discord forum to just copy the fpv pak file into the mod folder, and that didnt work either. I'll try it again using vortex then.

I dont think thats right, when I click open mods folder it takes me to the route jedi folder, there must be a reason you have to set the correct path surely?

i've installed the mod, will try it anywhere a bit later when i'm home from work, cheers. Have you tried this with UEVR yet, its supposed to be fantastic in VR, albeit bit buggy right now.

Your game is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Fallen Order - Vortex targets the game install folder, not the location the EXE file happens to be in. 

 

If you do not see any problems with installing mods or starting the game, you can ignore this.

ok, thats fine but it still didnt work, even though it installed the mod in the correct folder, the mod just didnt worked. I had to use this instead which worked fine with you mod.

I'm not sure you actually provided a link to the mod you were trying to install at any point. 

I've not made any changes to the JFO extension since I released it and had no reports of it working improperly. Although I've moved on from player this game a while ago now.
