I can't open vortex today...

I cant get vortex to open today after it told me yesterday that i reached my download limit, i shouldn't be able to do this as im premium btw.


im on version 0.17.8.0 i think, according to the properties , since i cant open it.



i was downloading mods for fallout4, skyrim se, and skyrim.


i have thousands of mods downloaded, but only about 55 installed on SSE


im on windows 10, 64 gb ram, 64 bit windows.


i have restarted my pc and tried to run vortex as administrator. googled and searched the nexus mods forums for about an hour.


the vortex symbol will pop up, but nothing happens afterwards. task manager says its using very high power in 3 processess.


im pretty ignorant on pc stuff so i apologize for the lack of information.

a) The inability to start Vortex has nothing to do with rate limiting.

b) The rate limit is independent of premium/free user

c) How long did you wait for it to start? If the task manager shows Vortex using the cpu then it's apparently working on something. It shouldn't be taking so long to start up but since some applications (Anti Virus in particular) hook into foreign processes their cpu load may slow down Vortex, showing as its cpu load.

d) Please make sure (alt-tab) that there really isn't any window popped up in the back ground, like an error message explaining what's actually wrong

e) Why can't you reinstall Vortex? What's the error message?

f) Please send me your vortex.log (found in c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\vortex)

g) You may also want to check the windows event log, if it lists anything pertaining to Vortex

thanks for responding.

as for a and b, i didnt know there was a download limit because i am ignorant.

c. i watched the entire first harry potter movie and had a very slow lunch, so about 3 hours.

d. there were no error messages at all. i know this because i looked for that first in between playing heroes of the storm and tabbing in and out of fullscreen.

e. i was able to reinstall vortex. but it wouldnt open, the same as this morning. it was there in the task manager, but no tab or vortex symbol. i gave it an hour or so.

f. i used cccleaner to scrub out the old files already after a few attempts at restoring previous folder versions, restoring the pc, crying, and reinstalling vortex a few times. this vortex log is brand new and there are no previous versions. i apologize and will back them up as well next time.

g. i am not from the tech savvy generation, i have no idea how to make use of event viewer.

 

i have vortex running again now.

i am just trying to figure out how to get my mods and their data back into it from my backup folder.
