[Bug/File Broken] Userlist.yaml can't be read

[MamylaPuce]

Hello,

 

I post my issue (same here : https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/5820), i hope i will find a solution without delete that file...

 

(i will do my best with my english)
After a crash windows during the installation of one more mod (blue screen : stability pbl with my new PC, lot of BSOD, maybe fix now with new chipset driver of my MB, no BSOD during last 5 hours), i open Vortex and i still have this red error :

 

LOOT operation "loadLists" failed: yaml-cpp: error at line 1, column 3: unknown escape character:
cause.func: loadLists
func : loadLists

 

(details)
Error: LOOT operation "loadLists" failed: yaml-cpp: error at line 1, column 3: unknown escape character:

I think userlist.yaml is broken but i don't know how to repair it.

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 64
• Vortex Version 1.1.5

I know that delete this file solve just a part of the problem, but if i do that i loose ALL my rules, ALL my order groups and all my load order on my +200 mods... it took me something like more than 2 weeks to perfectly adjust that so i am searching on another solution, please tell me that there's another solution...

I save this broken file to keep an original, i hope there's a way to repair that file in order to recover all my personnal rules, all my settings...

[EDIT] Suggestion : add a "script" or something making Vortex able to copy this file just before installing a mod in order to keep a fresh backup in case of crash like that...

 

Into the log there's the same lines between a lot of lines... if you want the log i can give it, but i think all is here.

 

I wanted to join the broken file but I am not "permitted to upload this kind of file"...
