javikrules Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 All of the sudden Vortex won't launch. At first it got stuck in some sort of crash/launch loop, and after waiting a bit I finally got this screen: https://postimg.cc/6yQNghCq It then said an update was available. I restarted, it installed, and now nothing. Vortex just hangs and never launches. Help! The very end of my log says: Thu, 10 Sep 2020 00:10:56 GMT - debug: all extensions compatibleThu, 10 Sep 2020 00:10:56 GMT - info: all extensions initializedThu, 10 Sep 2020 00:10:57 GMT - error: crashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 If you have Windows Defender, turn off "Controlled folder access", if you use some other AV program, turn it off, and install vortex right over the top of Vortex again.Sometimes, AV programs block certain parts of Vortex from installing because of False Flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, AV programs block certain parts of Vortex from installing because of False Flags Okay thanks, I'll try that. If I install it on top of itself will it remember all my previous settings? I've got a ton of Fallout 4 and Skryim mods, saves, and profiles. Don't want to lose the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javikrules Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 No luck. I reinstalled it (AV software disabled) and still crashing. The log shows it tried to launch and then crashed 20 times in a row on some kind of never-ending loop before I killed the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hmm, that's weird, and unfortunately, you can't use Vortex to report the problem because it's in a perpetual state of crashingThis one is going to take Tannin42 (the dev) to figure outWait a minute, so if you wait long enough you can get into Vortex?If so, then click on the bell to hide those notifications, and click the 3 vertical dots up in the right hand corner and pick SEND FEEDBACK, then select BUG REPORTFill out the info, and if you know where the log files are, attach it.You can generate one by clicking on the 3 vertical dots, pick DIAGNOSTIC FILES, then select the current date, and uncheck the BLUE text, and leave the Orange and Red text checked, select COPY TO CLIPBOARD, and paste it into a txt file on your computer,, save that txt filew, and drag and drop it to Vortex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javikrules Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 No, after the update to the new version I can't get into Vortex anymore no matter how long I wait. It's stuck in a perma-loading/crash loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean when Vortex initially updated to the new version, did it tell you you can't rollback? If it didn't, then I would suggest rolling back to 1.2.20, but, if during the update to 1.3.4 it said this is a ONE WAY update, then I wouldn't suggest it.
