redravens13 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Vortex is a non-working program from the start! NMM worked fine and now is going to be not supported forcing Moders to use Vortex. Vortex corrupted all mods in an attempt to transfer from NMM to Vortex. After 3 reinstalls, vortex will not drop the errors that have made vortex unusable!

Just for the Fact that it really helps with the load order WAY Better than Loot or NNM. I like to call out for cycle-lit redundancy and the Master to dependency. These are all things I have had problem with in the past.The 2 issue I have with Vortex is the view. I would like to control the size of the window with in each screen So things fit better. And I am still having problems launching my games thru VORTEX. All and All I LIKE IT. Keep up the good work.As to the slowness of the program. I really don't see it. And for those that complain about it and are on WINDOWS 10, your issue is not Vortex it is CORTANA!!!!! This Windows 10 program tries to in-bead itself into every program you have installed. When I ran Win10, Cortana use almost 48% of the MEM resources. Oh and good luck trying to shut cortana down. It is in over 120 locations with in the registry. And if you miss just 1 when ever you do an update it will reinstall. :( :P. Quote Augusta Calidia wrote: In regard to Vortex, I share your enthusiasm for it. I've been using Vortex for about a month and a half and have not encountered any serious problems. For me, its most attractive feature is how Vortex manages mod dependencies. Also, I find the program to be fast and responsive, especially in switching from one game profile to another.In regard to Cortana in Windows 10 Pro, you can permanently disable Cortana in the Local Group Policy Editor. This, of course, does not uninstall the program, but it does prevent Cortana from hogging resources and butting in on your computer activities. Once it's been permanently disabled, it will not be re-enabled even when there are feature updates. As for Windows 10 Home, the same thing can be accomplished through a registry edit. However, this is a dangerous undertaking if you don't know what you're doing.I am happy for the 50% who can get this piece of crud to work!

BeloopCeda Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I've been playing with this for the past week and have installed ninety mods on top of the textures listed in Step 1 Textures Optimization of "Fallout 4 Mod List and Load Order Guide (BiRaitBec Modlist)" which were already packed as .ba2 files. Everything seems to work as it says on the Vortex packet with no problems so far. One little niggle is that I can't seem to find a way to search the mod list for something like "better" or "CBBE". It's a real pain going through the entire list to find something I can't remember the exact name for. EDIT-SOLVED - need to go to SETTINGS and set "Enable advanced mode“ to get a search box in the header row.

For example, type in "better" or "CBBE" to find mods with those words or abbreviations in their titles. If you know the full name of the mod, you can type that in to move quickly to that one particular mod. Since I never did use the mod search function in NMM, I don't know if the search function in Vortex is as refined as that in NMM. However, the Vortex search function is adequate enough for me to find mods pretty quickly. Edited June 3, 2018 by Augusta Calidia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you for making me aware that the mod name search box is not activated until advanced mode is selected. I did not know that. When I installed Vortex a couple of months ago, I immediately activated all the advanced mode features before I ever did anything else, not realizing that those features included the mod search box.
