Vortex getting 403 on every attempt to download mod

Vortex 1.13.7

 

I've tried mods from Bloodstained, Torchlight II, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and they all seem to be giving me the same 403 error (see attached image). The client seems to be logging in fine, it's just the downloads failing when I hit the "Mod Manager Download" button (so the hint about "expired link" doesn't make much sense)

I have seen this error pop up from time to time as well. It is usually resolved by simply restarting Vortex. 

Here's the troubleshooting sequence to try:

  1. Restart Vortex (usually fixes the 403 error).
  2. Log out of Vortex, then log back in, then restart Vortex.
  3. Reinstall Vortex using the installer from the site (this will NOT affect your mod setup). Then repeat 1 and 2 if still not fixed.

Where are you getting these links from? They don't look like normal addresses.

Clicking on "Mod Manager Download" on NexusMods. 

 

I can do "Manual Download" through the browser fine. 

It looks like vortex is either making bad API endpoint connections, which is weird for the latest version, or there's something odd about my account that it's not allowed to download them (403 is "forbidden").

 

Unless it's DNS. ("It's always DNS^TM")
