windu190 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The Nexus Mod Manager just updated and is now looking for the directories of Oblivion, Skyrim, New Vegas and Fallout 3. But I don't have Fallout 3 installed, all the other games were found immediately. But the mod manager is now going through ALL MY FILES in an effort to find Fallout 3 (which is not there). It's been going on for an hour and there is no option to skip this, If I cancel it mod manager closes and I will have to do it all over again...... Is there a work around for this?

SLiDragon Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Agree, the current game detection process really is not optimal. Hope they drop the automatic HDD scan, and add an option to start the scan manually, in case a game is not found instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaospearl Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Click the red X next to the games it's searching for. It'll stop searching and just immediately display Game Not Found. It took me awhile to figure that out. (coughs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshole Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Click the red X next to the games it's searching for. It'll stop searching and just immediately display Game Not Found. It took me awhile to figure that out. (coughs) Doesn't work for me - I click the "X" and now its asking for a directory for Oblivion which I don't have...can't use this at all. My only option is to cancel and it quits out. Nice job guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptnwinky Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I just downloaded this today and am having this same issue. The OK button is grayed out and all I can do is cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsf1206 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I am still not able to use the NMM..lol did you really go buy fallout 3 just because of this? just wondering. and also fallout 3 is a great game, so if you've never played it before, totally NOT a waste of money, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsf1206 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 also, sorry for the double post, but I feel like this may help some people. This will show you how to skip the game searching for games you don't have, and help others get the greyed out "ok" to light up1. The interface for this menu is very unintuitive.2. To the upper right of each individual game it is searching for is a red "x" to cancel, click this for games you do not have3. For game you do have, it should be detected quickly, otherwise manually tell it where the game is.4. (and most important) for the games it did detect, YOU STILL HAVE TO CLICK ON THE GREEN CHECK MARK TO THAT GAMES UPPER RIGHT. i know its dumb right? i launched it 3 times, thinking it was glitching out or something, but really they just poorly designed the interface lol. Hope this helps anyone still having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptnwinky Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I appreciate your input but no matter what I do I can not click the green checkmark either after cancelling or letting it finish it's search to no avail. The check mark will give me nothing. As a developer myself this is, IMO, something the developers have overlooked in the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
