MintTeaChip Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I've had Vortex open since yesterday doing some Skyrim modding and I just tried to add some new mods today but I was crashing to desktop before the menu loaded. Thinking this was naturally other issues I tried some troubleshooting but couldn't figure out anything. Then I closed Vortex and reopened it (sometimes that works for whatever reason) and Windows says the application isn't for my PC. Never seen that one before. I check the file location and there's no icon for the app. Figured PC was being weird and restarted- now the shortcut icon is also no longer present, and I've noticed that Vortex updated at about 6am this morning. Anyone else having this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If I were is a guessing mood, I would say your AV renamed the update package to something other than a .exe. Safest course of action is download a new copy of Vortex from Nexusmods. Installing it will fix almost anything. Except a hyper-active AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintTeaChip Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 AV? Also I downloaded it again and it opens now but Im still getting this ctd at main menu issue even when Ive returned to a state of the game that worked yesterday. Anyone know what they changed/if the update could cause this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what they changed/if the update could cause this? AV = Anti-virus. I'm afraid Vortex literally can't cause CTDs in your game. That's related to the mods you've installed.

That has nothing to do with the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 No idea what would cause that, sorry. Vortex doesn't change anything between being closed and opened again. Maybe there's some weirdness in your system setup or perhaps you're running out of RAM/VRAM with Vortex open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
