Lhyssa Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 YOu could just be experiencing a glitch in the site right now, it's been a little wonky about downloads with Vortex the past week or so I wish it were only for the past week. I've had this issue since Vortex was introduced, sadly. I'm perfectly willing to make the change and would happily have done so if the walkthroughs I've seen actually had my computer doing what they say they are supposed to. I am literally doing everything the walkthroughs tell me to and experiencing the same lack of activity regardless of the mod's size or source. I don't get it, and I haven't been able to play my games (because, once you're used to a modded game, who wants to go back to vanilla?) since Vortex was introduced. It looks so simple, but it isn't working and I can't figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I click the Download with Vortex button, some mods start downloading right away, others just sit there until I hit the Download button on that popup thing that shows up.Other times I'll use Manual download and just download the mod to my Vortex Downloads folder.Vortex is good at finding new mods you download manually to the right Download\Game\ folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhyssa Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Do you download the Zipped file to that folder, and does Vortex unzip it? I've often wondered how that works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Do you download the Zipped file to that folder, and does Vortex unzip it? I've often wondered how that works... YEs, that's how vortex works. When you choose to INSTALL a mod, Vortex unzips the mod from the zip files, and places the files in the correct places, when you DEPLOY the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustaCalidia Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Do you download the Zipped file to that folder, and does Vortex unzip it? I've often wondered how that works... Whether you use the mod manager download or the manual download button, what you download is a zipped file (aka "archive"). That file remains zipped until you press the install button. Then Vortex unzips (aka "expands") the file for use in your game but saves the archive for future use (e.g., in case you may want to reinstall the mod). By the way, I rarely use the Vortex mod manager download feature. However, the few times I have used it, it's always worked. @HadToRegister: I didn't mean to repeat what you said in your preceding post. I was still composing my response and did not realize you had posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhyssa Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 OKAY!!! Just manually downloaded the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch and dragged it from the folder to Vortex and it worked. Odd, but okay. Let's see if I can get CBBE to work... Bigger file. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalr04 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I just got Vortex so I can download some mods for Mount and Blade Warband and I tried to start downloading Phantasy Calradia but whenever i look at the download on Vortex it says it's downloading at 0 B per second.
