Full Scan, Nor Manually selecting folder is working.

Game: Divinity: Original Sins 2 DE.

Vortex Version: 1.1.15.

 

Recently added a hard drive to my system. Vortex found it previously, Not by manually selecting folder, but by Scanning the system. When i moved the game over to D:/ Drive. I didn't think about vortex. But now it won't find the Game.

 

Things I've Tried:

- Manually Selecting Folder, (NOT .exe. For clarification).

-Full Scan / Part Scan.

-Adding my D:/ drive under Settings > Games.

-Reran Full Scan / Part Scan.

- Searched Forums and Google for a good 30-45 mins before Posting.

 

Also, When running the scan. The green bar only goes like 15%, and not once touches the D:/ drive. Or for what I can see at least.

now, after all that, did you expand the UNMANAGED section under GAMES and see if Divinity: Original Sin 2 DE is showing up in COLOR among all of the Black & White game thumbnails?

[JStarling97]

Uh.. Yes, Thats how I knew it wasn't finding it. :)

OK, I asked because people are expecting to find a "Discovered" section after they search for their games

Gotcha.

The game detection is actually very simplistic when you manually select the game folder, all Vortex does is check if the file in the error message exists, so for DOS 2 DE it checks for the file "DefEd/bin/SupportTool.exe"

 

So the folder you select needs to contain a folder "DefEd", which has to contain a folder "bin" which has to contain a file called SupportTool.exe.

 

That's it. Vortex doesn't verify that the file is actually an executable much less that it's the right one, if a file with the specified name exists, Vortex will accept your selection.

 

If your game doesn't contain that file, either your game installation is corrupt or we have a bug or Vortex doesn't currently support your variant of the game (maybe there are different language variants we're not aware of?).

If your game does contain the file then you didn't select the correct folder.

 

 

The full scan btw. does nothing different, it just goes through every directory on your disk and check if it contains said file. If you select the correct folder and Vortex doesn't accept it then there is no chance that the disk search will find the game because again: Either your game installation is broken or it's different from what we're expecting.

Ya. Double + Triple checked, Also renamed the .exe to make sure there wasn't a bug with that. But also, Something just came to mind as i'm manually loading mods. The mod folder is still on the other hard drive. Should I move that over as well? Or does the program not check for that? I assume it has to, since it extracts the mods there?

Should also add, the Game is the steam game. Just moved out of the steam folders. But from what you said, That shouldn't Matter.
