Vortex Error: 'Failed to Set Game Mode' for Fallout 4

[peterfavre29]

Hi there,

I've been installing and updating mods to do a new Fallout 4 playthrough. Everything was working fine until today. This morning, I was installing a larger mod that would take a while to download, and I needed to be somewhere, so I utilized the "shut down when complete' feature. Upon returning to my computer, and opening Vortex, the game is no longer being managed by Vortex and it says I have 0 active mods. I re-added it to my managed games, but when I attempt to activate it as the active profile, it comes up with an error saying "Failed to Set Game Mode." I uninstalled Vortex and re-installed it to the newest stable version, 1.10.8, and I manually set the game path to  D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data (where the game is installed) , but no luck.

Here is the error message in full:

If anyone would be able to help, I would greatly appreciate it. I can provide logs or any other necessary information if needed. Thanks for your help in advance.

Sorry that you're having trouble. The game path should end, be targeted to, the game's root folder. Based on the information you've provided, that should be D:\Steamlibrary/SteamApps/Common\Fallout 4  (remove the \Data from your current setting)

 

Good luck!
