Vortex 0.17.11 - Mod and Archive Unexpectedly Deleted (Enderal..Managed)

[digitaljc]

When selecting the 'Remove' option button and ensuring only 'Remove Mod' is selected, ('Delete Archive' unchecked), both the mod and associated archive are deleted.

 

Has anyone else run into this issue; known bug and/or fix?

 

Bug report filed..

No problem here. I'm managing Enderal FS with Vortex 0.17.11 and have not experienced the problem you are describing. In fact, I even tried to replicate your issue, but Vortex would respect my choice and remove only the mod and not the archive.

Did you download Enderal directly to Vortex, or to a download directory first then drag it to Vortex?

Access to the archive is different in those two cases.

To my knowledge (shaky), when you drag a mod to the Vortex Drop files spot, the archive never winds up in the Vortex download directory.

Clarifying, it's actually Enderal: Forgotten Stories (via Steam).

Once downloaded, Vortex showed as a 'Discovered' game and I selected the 'Manage' option from there.

 

Mods are installed via Vortex D/L manager.

 

I'll likely reinstall again if unable to identify a fix. Perhaps Enderal: FS is not fully supported yet.

Enderal is supported, what's not supported is Steamworks downloaded files via steam.

That means that there is no Archive for Vortex to remove, or if there is, it's wherever Steam puts them.

 

It's not a bug, it's another case of user error.

 

If you had downloaded Enderal through Nexus, there would be an Executable or Archive left over after Install, with Steam, that's not the case.

You are right 99.9999% of the time, but not this time. When a mod archive is dropped into the convenient Vortex drop box, it winds up in the Vortex download folder.

No one I would rather be corrected by than Augusta. Thanks!

While Enderal: FS was downloaded via Steam (similar to how one would download Skyrim or SSE from Steam), all mods in use were downloaded via Nexus only - no steamworks d/l's or assets otherwise.
