Witcher 3 doesn't work

[piperman123]

I've added the witcher 3 to vortex but every time I activate it I get an error; Failed to set game mode "error missing:undefined".

Any Ideas?

 

-Edit

Vortex Version 1.57

Witcher GOTY version 3.0.10.5955

 

Log only shows that it detects the game and then ends with that error.

I'm having the same issue, did you also have to manually set the location of the game?

 

[piperman123]

Yeah I did, wouldn't detect it during the scan.

So nothing? Surely someone else is having the issue, or maybe @Tannin42 can chip in with some thoughts? I've read that it can be an issue with switching from the likes of skyrim to the witcher but at the moment nexus isn't managing any game (it deselected skyrim after trying to activate the witcher) so shouldn't apply to this issue, right?

Make sure you have the Mod folder at the Witcher 3 root directory.

After creating that folder I had no problems activating Witcher 3 in Vortex.

Awesome, thanks for that. It worked for me. Mods I've manually copied into the downloads folder aren't actually showing though. just a heads up.

I wonder if Tannin42 n that know about this, can't imagine it being too hard to have vortex create the mod folder on activation of the game so it's weird that they haven't sorted that out.

No Problem.

Reported that bug(?) but only discovered after reporting the fix.

Sorry are you asking if I reported it or saying you already have? I only noticed it after getting it to activate, I'm guessing you mean you did too right?

[Rorix]

Yea, I reported it. Sorry, english ist not my native language :wink:

Tannin said it is fixd with the newest version 0.15.8 but I couldn't test it so far.
