Bug Report - Other: FalloutNV.esm being disabled #5934

Closed VortexFeedback closed 4 years ago

VortexFeedback commented 4 years ago

Vortex Version: 1.1.10 Memory: 7.95 GB System: win32 x64 (10.0.18362) I'll post again since my last was closed out so quickly. I will preface this by saying...No, I don't have the screenshots. What I am describing is very simple. Someone can at least give at least some feedback/suggestions, without just slamming me for what I didn't provide.

Whenever I attempt to mod Fallout New Vegas, the main FalloutNV.esm is detected as disabled by LOOT. The problem is verified by launching the game and seeing that no mods or dlc's that rely on the FalloutNV.esm as a master are functioning properly. I have ran this on fresh installs, multiple times, same results. I have also modded Fallout New Vegas multiple times before your recent update with no issues. I updated Vortex, began modding a fresh install of the game, and that was the first time this issue was noticed. One file failed to verify through Steam, but they have contacted me and told me that this is a local configuration file and should not be an issue.

Quick recap...1. LOOT message is that FalloutNV.esm is disabled. All mods that require this as a master also show the same error message. 2. Problem is verified in game, by inablility of mods requiring FalloutNV.esm to function. 3. Issue began after Vortex update (which according to the change log addressed issues with Fallout NV).

I think I have provided enough info to at least get more of a response than "you haven't provided any screenshots" and "what makes you think this is a Vortex issue". Why would I ever renew my Premium subscription, when this is the kind of feedback I get?

Let me please clarify something: The purpose of this issue tracker and the feedback system in general is to improve Vortex. I will close any issue that doesn't look like it will lead to an improvement in Vortex. Whether I believe you that there is an issue is irrelevant, if your report doesn't provide the information I need to make a change then I have to close and/or ask further questions.

So let me just repeat what I said before a) FalloutNV.esm is loaded by the engine. It can not be disabled b) Therefore, if LOOT says FalloutNV.esm is disabled, LOOT is wrong. c) FalloutNV.esm contains the game. Like, the entire game map, all NPCs of the vanilla game, all items, everything. If this was disabled, it wouldn't just disable mods that require it, your game would not be able to start.

Since FalloutNV can not be disabled, I have trouble believing that it being disabled causes your problem. If you're unwilling to provide further details, like steps I can follow to actually verify your problem, I have no other choice but to close this.
