whuber Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Hi! Please help, I'm stuck  I have Vortex version 1.12.4. I'm on my PC, windows 10 (system info below) loving playing Baldur's Gate 3, patch 7 (purchased from Steam.) I'm new and did things a bit out of order. I had no problems playing the game with patch 6, but after I uploaded patch 7, I had a difficult time. I uninstalled the complete game, reinstalled it and removed most of my mods. The mods listed below are those that remain and I can' t remove. I discovered the "load order" section of Nexus after this and have been trying to follow it's instructions. BUT  every time I try to purge, it fails and I get a firewall error (screenshot provided below) despite Nexus & BG3 being whitelisted.  The path changes but it's always a firewall error of some sort.   Here are the mods.  Thank you in advance!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomnious Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Hey there. Are you on Discord? It's a bit easier for live chats and I feel like you've gotten yourself into quite a pickle. Just seeing 'Microsoft/WindowsApps/WindowPackageManagerServer.exe' inside of the Larian Studios Baldur's Gate 3 mods folder is quite scary and I'm amazed your PC is even working. I've no idea how that got inside there but I'll do my best to help you clear it all out and start again. Regards, insomnious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whuber Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 I'm not. Now i'm nervous. The thing is, the error path changes regularly. The one in the post is not there all the time. Here's a screenshot from just a few minutes ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Somehow you've told Windows to install certain Windows components inside your BG3 folder. Vortex can't cause this, but it shows errors because these files are protected by the operating system. I've done a bit of Google-ing but I cannot work out how you've done this. You may want to look at the article here as a possible cause of this issue: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-change-default-app-installation-location/c1cf08e2-1608-400a-a055-38938e1ca8da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whuber Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 Thanks to everyone who posted. I had to take my pc to the shop because the reason for the error would change every time. They had to completely wipe the game and Vortex, including app data, off my pc in order to get it to work and now I'm back downloading everything from scratch *cries*. I have patch 7 downloaded and BG3 now won't run Vortex mods. Can I downgrade to patch 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanderat Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 @whuber I have no idea what is going on with your machine........ But I can safely say that Vortex does work with Patch 7. If it were me, I would uninstall BG3 and all mods and start over.

I did that plus uninstall Vortex and that failed. I had the exact same problem so I had to take it to the shop and they uninstalled everything. Now I have reinstalled Vortex, BG3 patch 7 then my mods. No errors and so I tried patch 7. No mods were showing (I have some that would show at the very beginning). I uninstalled patch 7, down loaded patch 6 and same problem - no mods are showing up. I'm at a loss now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out to be the answer. I had to reset all my mods to vanilla mode and download them again. Some mods are ready for patch 7 others not. The original firewall error has not returned since I set the mods back to vanilla mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
