Castrolias Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Never had a problem until this most recent update. Even though the folder for mods is on the same drive as the game it made any deployment method unavailable.Tried a clean install and many other things. The only solution seems to be to roll back to 1.2.11. Could this possibly be fixed with a next update or are there any others with the same problem that have found a fix? Would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've spoken with the Vortex team about this. To use hardlink deployment in 1.2.14+ you need to have the game folder, mod staging folder and My Documents folder all on the same HDD (so, this pretty much has to be C:\). If this isn't possible Symlink should be available, but if you don't have admin permissions on your PC you may not be able to create Symlinks.

Castrolias Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Thank you Pickysaurus for the reply. Have been going mental trying to figure this out.Hosting everything on the C:/ drive might be an issue but I will look into how to do deployment via symlinks. I do have admin rights so that should not be a problem. Do you perhaps know if the developers plan on reversing this change so just the parsing and game folder need to be on the same drive and not the 'my documents' folder? Or is this here to stay going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The new features added to Witcher 3 support will be staying. The devs are aware of this limitation but currently we can't do much to change it. If you were able to use hardlinks before, it would mean any mods that install to the My Documents folder would not work properly. We'll see if we can find a good solution to this problem.
