mctaff Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Okay, so I downloaded W3:Wild Hunt and DLC today (Yes, I'm late to the party). Vortex so far has been sitting on the drive for over a year with no games installed while I got into FO76, so it's a clean install, it updated to 1.1.5 today. It gives the "symlink deployment incompatible with Witcher 3 (and Run As Admin)" and the "Hardlink AND Move Cannot Write to Output" errors. 1) I resolved the Hardlink and Move writing to output error briefly, but it came back. That was setting the entire folder from Read Only. Not sure why it reverted.Any advice? 2) The Symlink error - I got nothing. The game and the deployment drive setting are the same. I got the game through GOG, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Is the Vortex mod staging folder on the same hard drive as the game?Also, I'd recommend using MOVE TO, if you're going to be using the Witcher's Mod/Script Merger, because I found out the hard way, using Symlinks, that the Mod/Script merger goes through the motions of looking like it's merging scripts, but it doesn't, It needs actual physical copies for a successful merge.

mctaff Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 Currently, it doesn't let me do anything except nominate a folder; I'm reinstalling into a different folder from the default to see if I have a permissions issue for the Cannot Write To Output, for starters. Will report back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustaCalidia Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Well, this is strange. (Or is it?) I recently downloaded Witcher 3 Wild Hunt from Steam and installed it. Vortex (v1.1.5) gave me two deployment options: "Hardlink Deployment" or "Move deployment." I chose "Hardlink Deployment," installed the updated Script Merger, installed two mods, and everything is working beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From experience, using Hardlinks with Witcher 3, the Script Merger LOOKS like it's doing a fine job, but when I merged a couple of more scripts, I ended up with a ton of errors on game start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azamaki Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I have this issue as well. Just installed The Witcher 3 again.Vortex & The Witcher 3 are both on the same drive F:\The folder The Witcher3\DLC doesn't exist. It's linked to F:\Vortex Downlaods\Witcher3 and it still gives me those errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctaff Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 It seemed reinstalling in a different location and toggling off Read Only for the folder has solved both my problems, at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
