Vortex - Cannot install mods: Error - cb is not a function

[Nagev]

One of those extension updates must've been corrupted in some way, or potentially there's unexpected data within the %appdata%/vortex/plugins folder.

I just updated to 1.13.7 and still the same issue.

Which version were you using previously? updating from a much older version of Vortex with potentially corrupt state data may have also been the cause.

I'd expect this to be a lot more wide spread if it were the extensions themselves.

Been having the same issues myself with multiple games since the update.  Whatever this latest update did to mods, I don't even know.  Tried uninstalling Vortex and reinstalling it along with all my games for the fun of it to see if there was a corruption.  Hopefully that works cause I really miss playing my games.  I also tried to see if it was the games themselves and they're working fine without mods.

Try renaming the folder at %appdata%\Vortex\plugins to something else and see if the issue persists. If it appears to fix the problem, it's definitely one of the extensions you have installed.

Did that along with removing Vortex completely and doing a fresh reinstall.  It's got to be related to the neweset update because it was working before then

Reinstall an older version?
