Default Vortex installation doesn't allow mod deployment ("check failed")

[Wrestlevania]

Each time I've tried Vortex, the app installs fine but always encounters the same "check failed" error once I've selected a game to manage. I've tried using both the automatic Vortex installer as well as the manual one, uninstalling the previous installation first, and both types of installer result in the same in-app error.

 

Vortex is installed on one drive, and can find my games on another drive without issue. So I don't understand why I'm seeing this issue, and am unsure what the best choice is from the error dialogue in order to fix the problem.

Did you make sure that the mod staging path is on the same disk as the game? Check out this setting dialog:

 

 

 

The path you have chosen there must be on the same disk drive as the game you try to mod.

Thanks Grestorn, manually setting a path to an empty directory on the same drive as the game has dismissed the error warning.

 

Going to try downloading and installing a mod directly via Vortex, hopefully that works as intended now.

Gonna add to this one, rather than start a new one.

My Vortex is telling me it can't deploy mods, my game and mod folder are on the same drive. So what am I doing wrong?

My Vortex was right. My game was not on the right drive. Sorry Vortex for all the cussing and swearing. Forgive me.
