Literally the ONLY REASON why you'd receive a notification to install a downloaded mod or enable an installed mod is IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTOMATIC OPTIONS TURNED ON. Not getting those notifications when you have the automatic functions turned off is a bug and a change in behavior from just a version or two ago. If you can't understand this, then keep your automatic options turned on but let the people who want the old behavior back to ask the developers why the behavior changed. Even if they have to wait till Monday to get answers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pushed the button to reset the notifications and it went to zero. Can someone with this problem try resetting their notifications? Perhaps the new version is coming with those notifications already suppressed for some reason? Well, I did it but still the problem persists... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you install the custom location version? The facts do agree with me, but different installation paths can often have impacts on default settings. The enclosed screenshot is my current settings for automation, and the only thing I did was turn on the option for Vortex to run when my computer starts up. Didn't "disable" any of them. Edit: Actually the facts do support me. I just uninstalled Vortex and did a fresh install of it after downloading the latest version, and because I always choose to install on my D drive, where my games are installed, It freshly installed with all the settings how I had them. Now if I were to completely uninstall everything, delete evrything off the D drive and completely defrag the drive I would probably see 0 of those Automation options checked off. Once again, doing non-standard installations and complaining about the results. *Sigh* Directly to your Windows folder? That does not even make sense. The default installation location is in Program Files on the same drive as OS. That is the default for a reason. You know you can move the download and mod staging folders to another drive, right? There is no reason to move the program itself to a different drive. Also, your settings are the same because you did not delete all your configuration files, so the settings were still present. It is unfortunate that you require an explanation for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to change things, don't complain when they don't work the way you want. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 If you weren't meant to change settings, why would there be an option to do so? Your argument is akin to telling people that using the option to move your staging folder is misusing the program and that they shouldn't expect the program to work because they chose an available option. If the notifications weren't meant to be useful to people who changed the settings, why did they exist for the entire history of Vortex until this bug occurred? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to deal with the consequences of doing that. They are there for users who want to use them. Again, use the mod list to enable mods. Do not rely on notifications.

showler Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Or, and this is just a suggestion, since I've been using the notifications to install and enable downloaded mods for over five years now I can just ask the developers why this is no longer an option and see what they have to say. You have no purpose in this thread. Why stay here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My purpose is to remind you it is not the developer's responsibility to cater to every user's custom configuration to make every little thing work for you.

showler Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Not a custom configuration. Actual options the developers added so that people could use them with notifications added to make it more usable. Bye now. Plonk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you manually scrolling through mods to find the ones you just installed when you can sort? First of all, thanks for this. My dumb ass didn't even realize I could do that, probably because I've never had to look for such an option since I could just enable them through the notification. 6 hours ago, showler said: Because "auto-enable" auto-enables all of them and some people prefer to enable them individually sometimes and as group at other times? And why are you questioning why someone would want an obvious bug fixed? Exactly this. Yes, there's other ways to do it, this isn't going to stop me from using Vortex, but it's clearly a bug that needs to be fixed, and it's annoying to not have this specific convenience available. 3 hours ago, ChemBoy1 said: Obvious bug? That only is noticeable when you deviate from the default configuration? This is not a "bug". This is someone complaining that their non-standard use of a software stopped working in the non-standard way they want it to work. They should learn to use the software properly instead of wanting to complain to the 2 developers still working on Vortex to waste their time fixing something that is not a real issue. The notification to install after download still shows up, so it's clear that this is a bug. Why only remove the "enable" notification but not the "install" one? And as multiple other people have pointed out in this thread, those automation settings were off for them when they installed the software. The only setting under Automation that I ever messed with before coming to this thread was the one to auto-deploy mods after enabling. Perhaps it didn't install in that configuration for you, perhaps it did and you don't remember, either way the only thing "non-standard" here is your bizarre animosity towards anyone who uses this program differently than you do. Keep it respectful, there are more important things in life to argue about than how you use a mod manager Edited August 9 by SSGSSVegetto 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
