Colinpark Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Ok just bought a new computer it has a large HDD but a small SSD card, the shop loaded Win 7 on the SSD card which I want to use for games, likley will move Win 7 to the main HDD. I had Steam load Skyrim onto the main HDD for now With 0.60 can I load it to the Steam libary instead of under "Programs"?

macattac Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 installed new nmm version.nmm version uninstalls all mods on my fo3 installation and crashes halfway thru the process.something is really broken now to the point that i´m unable to get FO3 to run without a serious time investment ( talking of 3 to 4 hrs min) with the same mods. Thank you not.I´m really pissed of and instead of playing a few hours in the wasteland i wisely uninstalled nmm, because several modded games depend on it to run stable. which it doesn´t.No, i´m not in the mood to help the devs with logs etc., not now.*very unhappy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help, anyone?Not the right place to ask for help - there's a forum for that. Anyway, try fully uninstalling the new version, then install the old.

Syeeb Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It did not work for me, but I just reinstalled all of my mods after the failed attempt (a little over 200). The program is working fine now so no big deal. And people losing it because someone gave them a FREE program to use and the FREE program didn't work flawlessly?... Kinda sad. I wasn't happy with the update, but only because nothing warned me that it was that major when the update prompt popped up, seemed like any other update prompt. Maybe a BIGGER warning with the popup next time would help. Tanks for the Nexus site, thanks for the work on NMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestormofwar Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Being forced to download the last version prior of NMM the 0.6 series. They've gotten progressively buggier with uninstalling mods to the point where it doesn't do it anymore. Tried to post several tracelogs in several different ways, and the site just times out. Pity. Please fix this sh*t. And yes, I've donated to this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastBlackCat Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Is there somewhere available where we can get an earlier version of NMM? For some reason, and totally unlike myself, I didn't save the earlier download someplace safe. I don't use NMM for any of the Fallout games or Dragon Age, but I did for Skyrim. As this new version was reinstalling my 96 Skyrim mods, it closed due to an error with something to do with Dark Souls at about mod # 42. I don't even have Dark Souls. And right now I don't have the time to be patient enough to try to troubleshoot this issue. So the upshot of it is, I completely uninstalled this new version and won't use it. However, such extreme and illogical behavior of death threats and hate mail is pretty reprehensible and immature--and you're right, stupid. *edit* Found a previous version and installed it, so I'm a happy camper again. :D *second edit* Wasn't quite so happy when I discovered I had to completely uninstall and reinstall Skyrim though. However, it's done now, after 3 hours. Phew. Edited September 27, 2015 by FastBlackCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the devs who are not using the tracking software, it's those users that absolutely refuse to submit a real bug report and insist that the devs should just dig through the 3 to 5 hundred posts that pass through daily to find the complaints and rants they think are the same thing as reporting bugs. But in reality have none of the information needed for a bug report. We constantly ask them to please post their problem in the bug report forum. Some do, many just don't bother. And others are nothing but rants with no interest in actually helping fix the problem they are ranting about. Many of our users are completely unfamiliar with how bug fixing really works, and have no interest in learning. Often what they are submitting as a bug report is nothing more than, "IT'S BROKE!!! FIX IT - NOW!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zircs Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I get why you did this, but for the users it's pretty awful. I didn't become a lifetime member to support such clumsy and user unfriendly ways of handling this. Please consider the user experience more seriously in the future.
