Vortex won't start after the update

[Katarsi]

To anyone experiencing the issue:

 

Was there anything unusual when it came to the way you updated?

 

How exactly did you update?

 

Have updates worked fine for you before?

 

Also, can you please go to AppData/Roaming/Vortex/temp/dumps and see if you have any logs there. This is where crashlogs for native code failing would be placed.

 

 

I am afraid atm we do not have much information to go on so anything you can provide might be able to help us.

 

Where is AppData folder located?

 

If you need more information, I will help as much as I can.

 

I'm running on Windows 10, SSD, Vortex is installed in Program Files (not Program Files x86)/Black Tree Gaming Ltd/Vortex/...everything else. Even though it still won't start, all its files are there, with both the launcher and Uninstall.exe.

 

I tried installing the 16.8 version from GitHub, as suggested in several places here. It all went well, it launched and I could see all my mods are still there. It prompted me to update again, as if nothing happened, and of course I declined. This was during working hours, so I couldn't start my game right away to check it, and I exited Vortex. The pop-up window came out right after I exited, asking me whether I want to allow Vortex to run. I thought it was trying to launch again, so I clicked "Yes". But it didn't start. This was actually the friggin' 16.10 update forcing itself upon Vortex, even though I declined it. And it all went back to the old broken state, aka dead.

 

Btw, the only game I'm starting trough Vortex is Skyrim SE (1.5.53 - the latest update). I run these through the Dashboard: SSEEdit, FNIS, SKSE64, BodySlide, TOOL.

I installed Vortex the first time on September 14th, while it was still in Alpha.

I installed other updates the same as this one, when it prompted through the mod manager, and I didn't have issues with them.

The only issue I ever had was some false warning pertaining XPMSSE and SkyUI, but it got fixed fairly quickly.

AppData is in your user profile directory, which you can find here:

 

C:\Users\<username>\AppData.

 

But you have to tell explorer to show hidden files and directories, because AppData is hidden by default.

An easy way to access appdata would be to go into the search inside the start menu if your on windows 7 or use the search bar/button on your taskbar right next to the start button if your on windows 10 and type %appdata%.

I always have "Hidden items" checked, I see it.

Nope, dumps folder is empty. Date modified is 14/09/2018 - it's when I installed Vortex for the first time.
