OogaBoogaBooger Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 So uh, today I was trying to download some mods. But then, a pop-up came out saying that my download failed. So pressed "Show more" and it said that I can't download my mods because the firewall is blocking Vortex. What must I do? I tried to find a fix for this but I couldn't. If this fix was simple, then I'm just stupid. But please, do help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadToRegister Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If you're talking about Windows Firewall, the first thing windows does, when a program tries to access the internet, is pops up a window asking you if you want to allow 5the program to access the internet.Did you not get that confirmation window? If not, just go into windows firewall and set up an incoming and outgoing rule for Vortex.exe Either that or you have an overly paranoid, false-positive happy, free AntiVirus that has decided that Vortex is a virus and has blocked internet access to it.

Dekeomi Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If it seems like the issue noted here or here then try using a vpn to connect from various locations semi-near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried disabling it, doesn't seem to work If you're talking about Windows Firewall, the first thing windows does, when a program tries to access the internet, is pops up a window asking you if you want to allow 5the program to access the internet.

Also I have excluded the vortex's file plus the mods file, doesn't seem to work either and I only have windows's av. Nothing else If it seems like the issue noted here or here then try using a vpn to connect from various locations semi-near you. VPN seems to be a temporary fix. Anyone can explain why ? I'm sort of curious tbh Also why am I replying whole thing when op is the one is asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OogaBoogaBooger Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 So uh, I allowed Vortex to go through my firewall. But it seems that it still didn't worked somehow. Or maybe I was just using a different version of vortex. So I added the other version of my Vortex. but that didn't work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
