AcePrep Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi, I'm wondering if there is anyway to use Symlink Deployment with SSE and FO4?And out of curiosity, what is the technical issue for Symlink Deployment to not be an option for SSE and FO4? If anyone has any thoughts or workarounds it would be appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardwareSc8 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 No, there's not, not yet. As I understand it, the reason is because it's still very early in the alpha phase. There's only one person working to code Vortex right now, so it'll take a while for major features to find their way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardwareSc8 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 They've hired one and are looking to hire one more, but last report I heard, Tannin is still doing it by himself so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm the only coder on Vortex atm but there is a UI designer on the team as well and of course the web team also does some work related to Vortex. The reason symlink deployment doesn't (and will not) work for the bethesda games is that when the games opens esms/esps they explicitly say they don't want symlinks to work.I don't know why bethesda did this, it doesn't really make any sense I can think of but that's how it is.

HardwareSc8 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ah. I didn't know that symlinks were prohibited by the game. But then, I've never really seen a need to mess around with them. The More You Know...™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcePrep Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks for an official answer, I thought it could be some inherent issue like that. Time to do some manual mod installs in which case. Btw, I really liked the flow of Vortex while I used it, keep up the awesome work man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
