HadToRegister Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I tried to download a mod from nexus while vortex wasn't open without realising, and when vortex opened something went wrong. According to the vortex log file I'm looking at, it changed the staging folder and moved logging all to C:\ProgramData\Vortex Interestingly enough, The ProgramData folder is EXACTLY where my Vortex Data is being saved, (All of the game info, plugins.txt, modlist.txt and DB files etc) it's never been saved to my Appdata Folder, (Although I have a Vortex appdata folder with stuff in it) it's been in the Program Data folder since I first started using Vortex back when it was in Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattledagger Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Just a guess here, but Vortex is likely using Programdata in case you're using "Shared" multi-user-mode (under Vortex - Settings - Vortex). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, yea, I have mine set to Shared.I've never set it to Per-User Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Interesting... Mine has always been per-user.ProgramData/Vortex has exactly one item: installer.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, this makes me wonder about the people who have parts of Vortex disappearing on them, or getting deleted, while others don't. I'm going to have to start asking whether they have per-user or shared set, because I'm imagining that any AV or Windows Defender would be more protective of the appdata folder, than it is for the ProgramData folder, but I could be wrong, but it might be a lead worth following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It is certainly a difference that might be significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
