DerellLicht Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I had a *ton* of mods installed, in several dozen games, via Vortex. All was working wonderfully.But today I upgraded my computer; replaced motherboard/cpu/memory/cooler, and installed a new PCIe4 disk drive that works with my new system. All was good...Then I installed Vortex, and I'm logged in using the same account as always, but it simply cannot find *any* games at all; I've told it to search the game directories as well as the vortex directories, but it always comes up with "thousands of directories scanned, 0 games found"...What is going on here?? Why can't it find any of the still-installed games?? The game drive even came up with the same drive letter as it had originally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's where Vortex stores all the data, in C:\Users\YOUR NAME\appdata\roaming\Vortex Every upgrade guide should stress the importance of backing up the Appdata folder because that's where MOST program settings etc are stored.

Hah!! Yes, I had... fortunately, I still have the original drive...However, no, no guides warned me about preserving the original Appdata... However, now I have a separate functional issue, but I'll post that in a separate thread...Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
