UrizenDe Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The Witcher 3 is installed on a drive that Vortex is allowed to search games in, yet doesn´t find it. My question is, is that a bug or is it because TW3 can only be added manually? I have the Steam GOTY version of it. NMM had the same issue btw.

UrizenDe Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Did some diggin of my own. Plugin seems to look for appid 292030, I have appid 499450. Granted, I don´t know how strict the match has to be. Sauce: https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app&q=witcher&type=1&category=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi Urizen, Thanks for doing some more research and finding a possible reason. Have you used the feedback system inside Vortex to report this? That's the best way of getting your issue straight on to the bug tracker that Tannin is using and the fastest way of getting a fix!

UrizenDe Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Wanted to make sure first that it isn´t something on my end. Did some testing, by changing the name the script looks for to 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition'. Vortex still couldn´t find it. Gonna send in the feedback.

UrizenDe Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Aaaaaaaaand I´m back. Vortex for some reason can´t detect my TW3 install. So before I send in feedback, I´d rather want to know if it might be something on my end. So anything I have to look for in particular?Yes, I do own it: https://abload.de/img/desktopscreenshot2018sqiwf.png My setup: Vortex on C: ( default install )Steam on C: ( default install )Games are on D:, E:.Modfiles are on E:. ( Nothing I want to mod on D: so far ).Some downloaded files are on F:. Vortex is allowed to search C:, D:, E: for games. Edith asks: For testing purposes I added the path manually. Anyway to remove that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Few things on this:- The latest Vortex (0.16.5) should find Witcher 3 GOTY based on steam appid 499450, have you tried with a current version- Vortex uses different means to find games. It will check with the steam DB, check in the registry and search the disk. The disk search however is slow so Vortex doesn't do it automatically you have to click the search button for that. Otherwise the search paths don't matter- My GOG version of Witcher 3 doesn't seem to create a registry key so disk search is actually the only way to find it.- I just fixed a bug that caused the disk-search based discovery to not find Witcher 3 (and probably a few other games) So yeah, for now you'll probably have to manually set the directory for Witcher 3.

UrizenDe Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Version was latest. I even checked the script in question to make sure it had updated. It had. Went into Vortex, hit quickscan and got the message no new games found or something akin to that. Tried a couple times, just to make sure it´s not a simple hickup of the system or Vortex lagging. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
