Tristfarddth Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I downloaded Vortex and received this file. What do I do with it? What is the ".86" extension? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 two things; 1. rename it from .86 to .exe and run it.2. get a better anti-virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 At this point tell the OP to download the new version. If he keeps going with 0.18.11 - he will be back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulric36 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Same problem here, I downloaded it, the file is .195 No programs on my computer recognize it. I tried to open with winrar, but nothing. I tried to change the file name by right clic on it and rename the extension for .exe it doesn't work. Someone can give a real answer please? Thanks.

Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 that's the answer. not vortex's fault if you run a crappy anti-virus and are unable to rename a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 your problem are nothing whatsoever to do with the issue from the OP. open your own ticket for each problem you get, but you can find the answers by searching these forums and saving yourself a lot of time.

ulric36 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hello 1ae0bfb8, On your profile, you wrote "Talk to me". I'm talking to you now. You seem to know what is really the problem without to explain clearly. As me, Tristfarddth and more than 85 people in few days who viewed this topic, because many have the same issue and not knowing what to do. When we download vortex, it appear to be a .195 file or .86 for Tristfarddth case, it's not a .exe file. Even that I right clic on it and trying to change the extension from .195 to .exe, it doesnt change the extension file. I mean, there is no way to change it. If you know how to help, I will surely appreciate a helpful answer, not something blur as an answer. I'm not a computer nerd as you probably are, your knowledge is valuable. Can you please help us into a constructive way instead of just let us in the dark. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
