MaljenGaming Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Can't get a single mod to install/update in vortex. Deleted all mods, deleted and reinstalled vortex. Nothing is working. This is beyond ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 What happens?Does the Mod install but not work?Are you installing them, then Enabling them, then DEPLOYING them?Are you using the SMAPI program that is necessary for Vortex to install mods?Did you read this?https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Modding_Stardew_Valley_with_Vortex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaljenGaming Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Started out when I went to launch the game through Vortex, it gave me a corrupt error for Vortex. Recommended I reinstall it. I did, scanned for updates for mods since I haven't played in a few days. Went to try to update mods and just got the spinning wheel of doom and they never installed. Uninstalled Vortex and ALL of the mods again, went to reinstall, still getting errors for Vortex and now can't get a single mod to reinstall. This is literally the worst platform I've ever used. I've played modded WoW for 13 years and never had issues like this. Makes me completely never want to play Stardew again because if I can' get mods, I don't enjoy the game and I have zero clue what clustereffs is going on here.I can't even get SMAPI to reinstall. It's just garbage. And it's not an issue with my computer, literally everything else is fine and I've downloaded nothing new since downloading Stardew and Vortex and the mods a few weeks ago, which were still working fine when I last played last week.

If it gave you a corrupt error for Vortex, you need to TURN OFF YOUR ANTIVIRUS, and then reinstall it, otherwise your Antivirus program is just going to keep preventing Vortex from installing correctly.

MaljenGaming Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) It WAS installed correctly, that's the thing. Everything WAS working fine...went to launch it today and NOPE! not happening. Edited January 17, 2021 by MaljenGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 It WAS installed correctly, that's the thing. Everything WAS working fine...went to launch it today and NOPE! not happening. And that can happen with an overzealous AntiVirus that decides part of Vortex is a virus and removes something or quarentines it.Check Windows Defender, see if "Controlled Folder Access" is turned on, if it is, Turn it OFF.

MaljenGaming Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) And nope, most definitely off. I have zero clue what is going on, and I'm not comfortable reinstalling Vortex without my virus scanner on until I do know what's going on Edited January 18, 2021 by MaljenGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero clue what is going on, and I'm not comfortable reinstalling Vortex without my virus scanner on until I do know what's going on Well, plenty of people have done it, and it fixed their problem. If you don't want to install Vortex with your Virus scanner off, and then turn it back on when it's installed, then you'll have to switch to a different mod manager and uninstall Vortex, because your AntiVirus won't let it install properly. Not ONE person has gotten a virus from installing Vortex with the AntiVirus off.The problem is, free AV programs and some famous ones (Norton) see everything as a threat so they false flag EVERYTHING and prevent legit stuff from working. The problem is coming from one of the Libraries that Vortex uses, and it's even acknowledged in the GITHUB page for the Library that with some AntiVirus programs it's going to cause a false positive and mess up the install of Vortex. I use Kaspersky, and it doesn't false flag Vortex when I install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
