KarlJosefMichels Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So i installed Vortex, everything was fine. I then restarted my pc and i cant open it anymore cuz it says "Startup failed - Vortex seems to be running already. If you cant see it, please check the task manager". So i checked the TM and there is now instance running, pretty strange, restarting pc doesnt help either, i also cannot find a running vortex process with cmd.I posted an image with the message i get, everytime.

HadToRegister Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Right click on vortedx exe and the shortcut and see if Vortex is set to "Run as administrator", if it is, Uncheck the box, you shouldn't run Vortex as an Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlJosefMichels Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thank you for ur reply, im not 100% sure, but i dont think that the box "run as administrator" is checked. If i take a look at "details" it says its owned by administrators, but if i check "compatibility" ("kompatibilität" in german) and i take a look at "settings" ("Einstellungen" in german) theres a box which is called "programm als Administrator ausführen" which is most likely what u are referring to and this box is unchecked already. So unless im looking at the wrong box entirely this might not be the problem causing the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBizkit Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Are you on the latest version of Vortex? Anything unusual about your system you can think of? When you say everything worked fine before, did you at any point experience crashing? Can you grab your Vortex.log from C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Vortex and make it available to us?

KarlJosefMichels Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 It worked perfectly fine, until i restarted my pc which applied a windows update. Afterwards it didnt work anymore. While looking through the logfile i found the error that might cause this: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 23:11:23 GMT - info: failed to open db message=IO error: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\state.v2/MANIFEST-000002: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden., type=OpenError, name=OpenError, cause=undefined, stack=OpenError: IO error: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\state.v2/MANIFEST-000002: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. at C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\resources\app.asar\node_modules\levelup\lib\levelup.js:87:23 at C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\resources\app.asar\node_modules\abstract-leveldown\abstract-leveldown.js:30:14 at C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\resources\app.asar\node_modules\deferred-leveldown\deferred-leveldown.js:20:21 at C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\resources\app.asar\node_modules\abstract-leveldown\abstract-leveldown.js:30:14 at C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\resources\app.asar\node_modules\leveldown\node_modules\abstract-leveldown\abstract-leveldown.js:41:14Tue, 16 Jul 2019 23:11:23 GMT - debug: quitting with exception Database is lockedTue, 16 Jul 2019 23:12:27 GMT - info: --------------------------Tue, 16 Jul 2019 23:12:27 GMT - info: Vortex Version 0.18.14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
