witcher3 + vortex + script merger - script merger doesn't like the links that vortex uses to do "virtual" mod installation

[tazmeister]

I tried vortex with the witcher3 and modding tools and the link stuff it uses rather than copying the file fails in a hit or miss fashion in the script merger tool.

 

Have you though to following the mod organizer option of a VFS? It's more of a hassle to run stuff "through MO" but it's more reliable I think.

 

The "links" being used don't work with various tools or they work only some of the times.

I'm running the latest version of win10 64 bit.

 

What happens is sometimes the script merger tools doesn't follow the link properly and instead it shows an empty file.

Honestly this is more of a win10 flaw IMO than a vortex issue other than vortex using a technology that isn't reliable.

Yup this has already been covered, just change NMM to do MOVE the mods, instead of using Symlinks.
You'll have to have your mod folder on the same drive as the Witcher 3
