tomtheclone Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm trying to troubleshoot some Linux installation issues. I know it's not officially supported, but there has been mixed success in the community, and a good starting point for me would be a complete official list of what Vortex needs to run. I've tried searching for this myself, but all I can find is that it requires .Net. I don't know what version, nor what else it might requires (surely VC is needed too). To be clear, I'm trying to install the Windows version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Not trivial to say, Vortex has no requirements that don't ship with an out-of-the-box Windows 10. So the VC runtime for example is shipped with Vortex, you don't have to install it separately..Net can be uninstalled manually and on Windows 7 it may be outdated but otherwise any supported, up-to-date, Windows should run Vortex. With wine .net is really the only thing I can imagine might be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I read the request a bit differently. I think he was asking about a native installation of Vortex on Linux - not under Wine.I could be wrong - and Wine is obviously the simplest way to get it going.That said - Vortex does use a lot of libraries - and they all seem to have a Linux implementation.

No, Tannin has the right of it. Not trivial to say, Vortex has no requirements that don't ship with an out-of-the-box Windows 10.

Tannin42 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Afraid not, .net core can't serve as a drop-in replacement for .net framework, it also doesn't have all the features we use - most importantly it doesn't support appdomain sandboxing which is required to install certain fomods (based around c# scripts) without opening up a massive security hole.
