SnowQueen Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) While it scans it sees the game. If I click stop scanning that's when I see that error. I also see it if I try quick start or manually browsing for the game. How can I get it to work?Is there anyone who can help me?SnowQueen Edited May 4, 2016 by SnowQueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have you tried letting the scan finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royhr Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It should find the games pretty quickly so it sounds like something is messed up. Try uninstalling NMM and reinstalling it and see it works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I seem to recall that when it did the scan it found a number of games and I then had to select the ones that I wanted. Of course, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royhr Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 When it scans it will list all of the games that it is capable of using. When it finds one of those games on your computer it will designate it as being found but it will keep searching for set period of time. Generally a game on your computer will be found pretty quickly and you can then just stop the search, select the games you want NMM to use and continue the setup. But it shouldn't take a long time to find the games on a computer unless the computer hardware is very dated which in that case a game like FO4 will not run efficiently anyway.

Moksha8088 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If I remember right from the last time I had NMM do a game search, I had to manually direct NMM to the right location for a couple of games on my computer. Once I got it to the right drive, directory and folder it did the rest and I was ready to install new mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFrag Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Having same problem. The scan finds FO4 during the general scan but then doesn't let me choose FO4. When I remove all games other than FO4 from the scan it gives the thread's error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2p1k3 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) This exact same problem has also visited me. It appears regardless of whether Quick Start is hit with just what the program has already detected... or specifying games that have failed to be detected. Giving N.M.M. Full Control in Permissions and Run as Administrator generates the same results. The exact error is: No games were detected! Nexus Mod Manager will now close.The "trace program" is seemingly having a fatal error; That is said because it is failing to tell the main program the games it actually does find. [uploading a reference screenshot was tried but was not allowed.] That creates the problem because most mods on Nexus seem tailored to use with N.M.M. The program is loved by me; Because a programmer is from from the qualifications of mine. The time spent trying to divine how to manually install each addon is a very significant deterrent of using any mods. Grateful for you sharing your time and Force, am I. May you ask the Goddess to eternally alight your self-determined path. Edited June 19, 2017 by 2p1k3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
