ja1som Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi, I can´t update Fallout 4 mods via Vortex, I check for updates, sort by version update available, then I press the download button and after a second I have an error:Unknown downloadSorry, I was unable to identify the archive this mod was installed from. Please reinstall by installing the file from the downloads tab. In the downloads tab, the file has ??? size and progress is Failed. When I check folder where are my downloads (d:\Vortex\Downloads\fallout4\) the file is there, but it has 0B. The only way for me is go to nexusmods and press the Mod manager download, then it downloads and updates the mod. Vortex v0.16.12 default, not the custom install location, file. I have this issue maybe for a week, not sure from when. Screenshots here:https://imgur.com/a/dNr4dqd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizietemblesssma Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yup, I have the same problem, exactly as described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Did either of you upgrade from a previous version of Vortex, and can you confirm if it works properly for mods installed/updated while running v0.16.12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1som Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yes, I have upgraded Vortex from older versions.I updated few mods as I wrote in my post (via button on nexusmods web, ...) and then there was another update and the error is still there. But, probably, I did not install any new mod since the new version of Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks for getting back to me, I have replicated the issue and passed it to the developers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destrux125 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Same issue here. I tried uninstalling one of the mods I was having trouble with (V's decor was one) and removing the archive and installing the same outdated version of the mod and then attempting to update it within vortex and it still gives me the same error message. Also, when I download the new version it ignores the old version and installs the new one as if the old one wasn't there instead of giving me the update prompt (replace, etc). So to be safe I've been uninstalling old versions of mods before installing the new version. AFAIK that's the safest method for manual updating, correct?

Tannin42 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Sorry about that, this is due to an API change that I didn't implement correctly. I'm afraid there is no workaround. For the time being (until the next update), please manually update mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
