Problems with Vortex

[ChicaTerraria]

Good morning/afternoon everyone,

 

I am making this topic because of the continuous errors my Vortex is giving me.

It just does not check well for mod updates, install wrong the mods, made impossible the launch of some games....

 

I would like if someone helps me with this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Sincerely,

ChicaTerraria

I can help you with the mod update issue and here we go :

 

 

1 - Click on the mod you want to update and Vortex will show what you see in the screen ( you want to check if there is an update available for the mod ) :

 

 

 

 

 

2 - Go to Nexus mod ( in this case Palace and Castle ) and check for the new version as shown in the below screen shot ( a new version is showing 2.2 ). Make sure that you read the new mod version log to find out if there is something that MAY conflict with other mods that you have in your load order so we never know if the mod author changed something, so it is a good practice to read and make sure everything is fine to go :

 

 

 

 

3 - Download the new file version as shown in the below screen shot :

 

 

 

4 After the file is downloaded, go ahead and Install the new file in Vortex :

 

 

 

 

5 - After the file has been installed, go ahead and Enable the new file ( assuming that you have Auto-Enabled ON in Settings / Interface, Vortex will deploy your mod automatically after enabling the file ) :

 

 

 

 

6 - Now the 2 files are in Vortex and because you have two equal files, Vortex is showing a red bolt ( conflict ). You can see the 2 mods are there. Version 2.1 and version 2.2. The old version must be REMOVED :

 

 

 

 

6a - On the top right corner, Vortex will show this message as well ( redundant files because you have two equal files so one of them must be removed ) :

 

 

 

 

7 - Click on the old file REMOVE tab and the below screen will show up. On this screen is essential that you check DELETE ARCHIVE as well, otherwise, old data from the old version will remain and will probably mess up with the new file version :

 

 

 

 

 

The new file has been downloaded / installed / Enabled and Deployed. The old one is gone.

 

DISCLAIMER : Something may not working properly with updating mods or probably with the new Vortex version something was changed. Before I was able to right click on the mod that I wanted to update and click on download new version ( from Vortex ) and Vortex will download the file automatically ( did not have to go to the mod file located in Nexus ). This time, Vortex did not allow me to do that. A message saying that : you must choose the new file to download …. was showing when trying to update directly from Vortex, which is fine and give us more control on what we need to update. It is not a big of a deal since I do prefer to go to the mod in Nexus, read the new log and be sure that everything is OK with the new file version before updating.

I would like you to give us more information about "install wrong the mods" ? What do you see when checking for mod updates ? What made impossible the launch of some games ?

 

I already replied to your message and showed you the way I do my updates and Vortex is not giving me any trouble. On my end, everything is working easy-peasy.
