Zanderat Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Options are "Restore", "Delete", or "Dismiss". This is with v1.4.10. If I dismiss, the message comes back the time Vortex is started. Not sure what it means or which option to pick. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanderat Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Now I am upset. Since there was no response, I clicked "restore" and then got an option to "repair and backup". Now I have lost a ton of installs and changes/rules that I have made. It gave me this nonsense where a bunch of mods are both in "uninstalled" state and "disabled" state at the same time. This happened across all my games, btw. Also, the message has not gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The "Repair and Backup" dialog must have shown up initially as well, that's what created the backup you restored. That dialog would also have told you what errors it found in the state that it's trying to repair.In case any of this was actually a bug, please do send in a feedback with your logs attached asap, I've seen no other indication yet that this process is bugged. In general, I would advice against restoring backups if you have no problem and don't know where the backup came from. It's really difficult to say from where I'm standing but considering you didn't seem to remember seeing the "Repair" dialog initially, for all I know you've been ignoring or dismissing that notification for days or weeks and now reset Vortex to a state from days ago because afaict the mods you have problems withr all seem to have been installed within the last 30 hours or so.

Zanderat Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Feedback sent. The dialogue in the screenshot was what showed up initially after updating to 1.4.10. Dismissing it didn't really work, as it just came back the next time I started Vortex. I don't recall ever seeing what errors were found. But you are right. These are all mods recently downloaded. So, I am guessing since the mods are showing in two distinct sates that removing them and re-downloading is the best way to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 You don't have to re-download them, I think you should be good just re-installing them from the archives. It's fairly likely that the backup you restored was outdated, why you didn't see the notification before I can't say, maybe the log will be enlightening.But what that means is that the meta information for recently downloaded archives and recently installed mods is gone. For the downloaded archives Vortex can restore the meta information by calculating the checksum and then querying nexusmods about what file that is.But when Vortex finds a mod directory it has no information on it has no way to connect that back to what archive or nexusmods site it came from.

Zanderat Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thanks again @Tannin42. I ended up "removing" (without deleting the archive) the ones marked "disabled" and installing the "uninstalled" ones. I had to use the "guess ID" option to get back the meta data.

monesq Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 This is happening to me also. Vortex was working fine before it updated, then I immediately receive the message. I chose to delete the backup and now the message does not come up. I'll just make a new backup. Not sure why this happened and I do not know where to find the error log for review.

The "restore" option is what got me in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
