DoctorKaizeld Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 From my experience too, we also find that if users encounter a single bug when they first try Vortex (sometimes as long ago as the beta) they don't bother to report that issue and instead swear blinding to anyone who will listen that Vortex doesn't work. The other use case is the user will go to Reddit/some random Discord and ask for help with Vortex rather than reporting it either through the app itself or on one of our monitored support channels (the forum, Discord, in-app feedback). We can't fix the things we don't know aren't working properly. As an example, I'm currently investigating a potential problem with Stardew Valley in Vortex, but as far as I know, nobody has ever actually reported the problem I was recently made aware of on the off chance. I use Vortex with Stardew what is the issue? I had a ton of issues when I used Vortex back in beta. I wouldn't use it for a while after that but I gave it another shot and found all my issues were gone and leaves it at my only issue being the Knowledge base currently.

Well that certainly puts a damper on all of the "Argumentum ad Populum" arguments of "NOBODY likes/uses Vortex" or "TONS of people hate vortex" et al (Added a screenshot of that reddit post, for future reference/uese) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugustaCalidia Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Perhaps VulcanTourist could also perform some mind melds while touring the hostile, forbidding reaches of the Reddit jungle. :smile: I admire his courage and wish him every success.

Tannin42 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Would you want or mind that from-the-horse's-mouth information being shared in debates about the two, where relevant? I know you might not have prepared it as though it was a press release, but I'd like to have more information with which to be persuasive. Also, regarding the "run as admin" issue: does this relate to merely using a user account with Administrator rights, or explicitly starting Vortex with Run As Administrator? (I would expect you meant the latter, but just confirming.) What issues arise from that? Yeah, I don't mind you re-posting this, it's public here anyway. Re "run as admin": Yes, there is no issue with using an account that is "Administrator", it only gets problematic if you specifically run applications as admin (as in: you have to confirm a "User Access Control" dialog when you start it) or UAC is disabled.I think there is this misconception that UAC is only about protecting you from your own mistakes but that's not the case, it protects against any malware (arguably more so than Antivirus software) and can even limit the damage from bugs.

Can you also summarize the same statistics for just Special Edition mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
