For future reference... log in to the Vortex app too. Both the site and the app require you to be logged in to give permission to download mods.

 

i feel pretty dumb now.. can you just delete this post >.<

im so stupid i had this problem for like 3 months only to find out i needed to log back in smh

[HannahLostHerEmail]

not to necro, but... I'm extremely glad this didn't get deleted, I was having the exact same issue with the exact same solution (my vortex app got logged out somehow and I hadn't noticed), thank you!

[Uncle1apel]

Damnn...!!!! And I called myself Pro-Modder lol... Thanks @Zelhart for saving me from reinstalling whole computer.

I suggest adding a visual hint to the program itself in the window of this error. I also could not understand what the problem was for three months and used another mod manager.

FOR ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM: Yes, but also make sure you're logged into the same browser that Vortex is trying to use. Make sure your default browser is the *right* default browser. I was logged into Nexus on Chrome, and Chrome is my default browser, but not for... *all* file types apparently? Didn't notice until I hit the profile icon (top right in Vortex app) and it opened an Edge webpage where I was NOT logged in...

It's always the stupid things that hurt the most when you figure it out
