Fails to create a directory and certain f4se mods just don't seem to run. Trying to chase down why.

edit: it’s mainly HUD/overlay mods like Condition Boy and Gas Masks of the Wasteland/Nuclear Winter.

Judging by the post time, I assume you're running next gen?

If yes, just add two extra lines in /home/deck/.pikdum/steam-deck-master/vortex/fallout4-post-deploy.sh:

echo "Copying loadorder.txt and plugins.txt"
mkdir -p "$APPDATA_INTERNAL" || true
mkdir -p "$APPDATA_EXTERNAL" || true
cp "$APPDATA_VORTEX"/* "$APPDATA_INTERNAL" || true
cp "$APPDATA_VORTEX"/* "$APPDATA_EXTERNAL" || true
cp "$APPDATA_VORTEX"/plugins.txt "$APPDATA_INTERNAL"/Plugins.txt || true # THIS
cp "$APPDATA_VORTEX"/plugins.txt "$APPDATA_EXTERNAL"/Plugins.txt || true # THIS

echo "Success! Exiting in 3..."
sleep 3

Basically the plugin.txt file is now capitalised

Huh, never mind, I completely missed the permission lines. I assume that's because you don't have an SD card inserted?

You can safely ignore those errors if so.

The reason for not deploying is still most likely my comment above.

Maybe this is the same issue as https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck/issues/67 then?

Latest update should've fixed. Feel free to re-open if it hasn't.
