Sorry you are having problems.

Looks like your system was struggling to connect to GitHub. Is this still happening after restarting Vortex?

Regards,

Hi there, I've been getting the same error for a few weeks- somthing to do with the relase of the CDPR mod tools? 

The error appears on startup. Restarting Vortex doesn't work, as the error returns.

Vortex still works as usual for other games after dismissing the error notification but is there a way to stop it from checking for these resources if they aren't available?

Witcher 3 is not managed and no mods from Nexus for it are installed

V1.11.7

[363rdChemicalCompany]

I have received the exact same error message a couple days ago, yet I do not (to my knowledge) own that game, nor do I know what github is or how to connect with it..

Odd.

[showler]

That particular extension is one of the bundled extensions that are considered part of Vortex.  So you get it regardless of whether or not you have the game.

It received a needed update the other day due to changes to the game.  That's the reason why they are extensions, actually.  So they can be updated without needing to update the entirety of Vortex.

Github is a code repository used for open source projects where code can be worked on collaboratively.  Since Vortex is open source it houses the newly updated code there and draws it's updates from there.

The error is because your computer is having trouble connecting to Github.  Might be worth turning on a free VPN and see if that fixes the problem.  You would only need to have it active long enough for the extension to update.  Strange how many ISPs seem to interfere with Github, though.  It's really well-known and respected site.

[zeeth3]

It appears to be my VPN (always on) that was causing the issue. Disabling it allowed the Witcher 3 extension to update. Guess my VPN provider considers github a risk? 

[Pickysaurus]

Thanks for coming back with your solution - you should check with your VPN provider as to why they block this. 

[downtone]

@Picksaurus, I'd guess it's the other way around.  Github's provider blocking the vpn.
