rmm200 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Recently this prompt was shown to me for my FNV mod list, I gave it little thought and just clicked on save changes. After that I tried starting the game up, and then it crashes. I'm not sure what to do, or if the game crashing is even the fault of Vortex. Is there anyway to help this and possibly revert the changes? What it does for me in Skyrim SE is that if I choose use newer or save changes, Vortex just decides to delete the files in question. Now I have to copy my backup files back into the data folder every time Vortex has deployed the mods. So, in case your problem is the same, have a look at your files to see if they are all still there. At great personal risk - I have to say you are not correct.If you say Save, vortex merges whatever changes it finds back into your mod.If a texture changed outside of Vortex - that changed texture gets written back to the mod.If a texture is deleted outside of Vortex, that texture is deleted from the mod.Note: These are only changes to the mod staging folder. If you select Reinstall on the mod dropdown, the mod is refreshed from the archive in Vortex Downloads.All is as it was. There has to be a Latin equivalent for that...

AugustaCalidia Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) @rmm200 Omnia sunt quemadmodum fuerunt. Your analysis of "Save" for external changes is correct. Edited July 21, 2019 by Augusta Calidia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess it's a positive thing that Vortex isn't deleting everyone's mods. I'll just keep dealing with the problem until it gets fixed. It didn't happen before I updated Vortex to 0.18.16.

Hardlink deployment is on, I believe that was the default setting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 It is on the same drive. Hardlink deployment is on, I believe that was the default setting as well. Hmmm, I'm still using 0.18.12 I wonder if the problem has cropped up in 0.18.16 Best to send a bug report to be safe.

Click the three vertical dots next to your avatar in Vortex and pick SEND FEEDBACK and then BUG REPORT Yeah that's the first thing I did. Wrote the report and clicked send, so I guess it went somewhere useful. At least for me the problem only started with this version. I tend to always update Vortex when it offers an update. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the problems that 0.18.x seemed to have from the start I turned off Automatic Updates, and now only update after a week or more but only if I don't see any support threads for the newest version.I'm sticking with 0.18.12 for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
