HadToRegister Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Umm, Yup, and it wasn't always there.I had it happen to me back with 0.17.11 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yes, but it is there already so I don't understand why you request we add a confirmation when there is one already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yes, but it is there already so I don't understand why you request we add a confirmation when there is one already? Because when it happened to me, it didn't have a confirmation box yet, and it happened to someone else in a help thread, so I posted my request here on the same day it happened to them, as I didn't know what version they were using.Had I had known it had already been added since it happened to me, and the other person, I wouldn't have started the thread.

Tannin42 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Ok, thanks for clarifying. This warning has been in Vortex since 0.15.8 which was released almost a year ago so anyone encountering it today must have already opted to ignore the warning.

If that's the case, how do you turn the warning back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 There is no way to turn it back on through the UI. On the command line you can do it with Vortex --set settings.mods.confirmPurge=trueIf you have "Multi user mode" set to "Shared" you need to add --shared to that Vortex --shared --set settings.mods.confirmPurge=truePlease be careful, this command isn't forgiving in regards to typos.

Thanks! I'd also like to add a request for a toggle to be added to "reset" all "Do not see this again" checkboxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soaringcow Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 My experience, the answer to the purge question must always be no. Better would be for it to be removed from Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better would be for it to be removed from Vortex.I think you're just trolling now You SERIOUSLY don't know the first thing about using Vortex. That button is how you can quickly clean your entire Game directory and move your install somewhere else, NON-DESTRUCTIVELY, and then restore your entire Load Order by Re-deploying the mods.It's an AWESOME tool for figuring out if any mods are causing your game to crash, because you can just purge them all, then just re-deploy them one by one.You don't lose anything with PURGE, it's like sending your load order into "Suspended Animation" You should read the knowledge base, instead of continuing to come out with things that are completely wrong. I had installed Fallout 3 and had about 80 mods already installed for it, when I found out that one mod I was going to install needed to have Steam run as administrator, not wanting to do that, I purged all of the Fallout 3 mod, uninstalled the Steam version of Fallout 3, installed the GOG version, in a different folder, pointed Vortex to the new Fallout 3 install, and Re-Deployed the mods. And there they all were, now in the GOG version, as if I had installed them there originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
