ZenExplorer Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Vortex can't 'see' my Subnautica game *!#@ Even when I set a manual path.!Just spent several frustrating hours search for help online, a total waste of time. Where do I need to set the path in order to 'activate' Subnatuica in Vortex?!? It shouldn't be this hard! Can anyone tell me what path to use to get Vortex to see my Subnautica game?!?!?!? Please help with specific how to steps. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 it may only want the directory, not the file name. try to set it to just the directory and see if that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The version of the game from the Windows App Store may not be moddable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 You have the WindowsStore variant of the game, those are often not moddable because the game directories aren't not writable (not a security setting btw, it's a driver-level limitation).The important information is the error message when you press the "More" button on the "Failed to set game mode" but I wouldn't get my hopes up, if you intend to mod a game, don't get it on the Windows Store.

ZenExplorer Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks, Okay I bought Subnautica for a second time, this time from Steam. Installed it and vortex. Downloaded and enabled mods (all are green). (including Qmod & Helper) Hit Deploy Mods. Opened the game and no mods show at all. What the hell?! Why aren't my mods showing. No errors or conflicts. Everything loaded on the same drive, etc. What do I need to to do to make mods work??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the mod staging folder on the same drive as Subnautica. A lot of problem with modding Subnautica are Windows Defender's "Controlled Folder Access" being ON, instead of turned off, and Folder Permissions in General. Typically the worst place you can install your games is in the Program FIles folder because windows is overzealous about protecting that folder and half the time doesn't let itself access the folder Make sure you have UAC turned ON too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
