Deleted58815076User Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Ok, I took the plunge and abandoned tried and trusted NMM, and migrated to Vortex. I like it so far, except now apparently I have a long list of angry red lighting icons in the list, due to 'Unresolved file conflicts'.Like many others, I used NMM because I'm not terribly savy about modding, and it seemed to take all the sweat and tech out of adding them. I've looked for support on this, but the very few comments I've found so far don't clarify it much, or suggest solutions in layman terms. Can we have, or can someone point me at, a SIMPLE way to 'resolve' these issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Sure! We've written some articles for this very topic that are available within Vortex itself under the "Support" option in the left panel. The article you're going to want is Managing File Conflicts.

Deleted58815076User Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I appreciate your quick response, but I'm obviously a slow-witted person as I'm still having a bit of trouble with it.I don't understand why this wasn't an issue with NMM, but is with Vortex which is supposed to be an improvement?

Tannin42 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 In NMM you did have file conflicts as well of course, you had to decide whether to overwrite files or not during mod installation - that was the file conflict resolution in NMM.With Vortex you can change your decision without reinstalling the mod and you can see how you decided even after a couple of months.

Deleted58815076User Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thank you for taking the time to respond. As I said, I'm not terribly savy with file manipulation, but you're overwrite explanation was along the lines of what I suspected. Of course, my automatic response to that was always 'Yes to all' :smile:. I like the look and feel of vortex, and I'm sure that with patience, trial (and not too much) error, I will master the transition.Thank you again for your time - and more importantly, for your work!

AugustaCalidia Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 A common claim by many Vortex critics is that NMM allows you to ignore file conflicts whereas Vortex does not. To those folk I would ask, "What then is the purpose of this NMM menu?" In NMM this menu is triggered every time there is a file conflict. So why do some people keep insisting that NMM allows you to ignore file conflicts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanderat Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Some mods edit the same files. Simply pick which mod you want to "win". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
