Vortex Installation stuck at "loading extension" #257

Closed hawari21 closed 3 months ago

hawari21 commented 2 years ago

Hello,

So, yesterday i was installing Vortex Mod Manager on Lutris, everything is running smoothly when in progress. However, after my vortex pops up and then loading extension appear it wont to load main mod manager, i've waiting maybe about 15 minutes to seeing it was finish or not. Then, suddenly the software (Lutris) is stopped responding. I've tried to disable internet connection as the guide told me, and switch to another directory but non of them working.

Any idea how to fix this?

Cheers

Same here. Lutris crashes during the install process and Vortex freezes

JamesATeasdale commented 2 years ago

me too - i've tried different variations of wine/tricks/settings etc. Sometimes it will load past the extension screen, but quickly crash. I have also noticed that Lutris will take up nearly 8gb of RAM in the background during this. For now, i'm using steamtinkerlauncher, which has a very reliable and simple vortex installation method.

I think this is the same issue discussed in the Vortex Issue tracker here https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/9629

rockerbacon commented 2 years ago

The Vortex installer is heavily outdated and hasn't been maintained in a while. All recent efforts were towards Mod Organizer 2, you may want to try that instead.

For now, I'll recommend Steam Tinker Launch for anyone wanting to run Vortex.

I have no intentions on working on Vortex right now but neither do I want to abandon it completely. I just don't have time to maintain two different managers, I barely have the time to maintain one. If anyone with some good bash knowledge wants to get on board, I'll gladly provide all the necessary support.

I have been using Vortex with various changes to the old installer for a few months now. The readme also still incorrectly claims release 1.9.3 has the latest vortex.yml. The download links in the latest installer are also pointed at the slightly newer vortex-symlinks.sh and vortex-downloads-handler.desktop available in the 2.0 release tag. However, I modified the vortex.yml and vortex-symlinks.sh to add Skyrim VR detection.

I actively use the installation of Vortex provided by this installer and symlink builder for modding SKSEVR in proton and am going to work on a Vortex 1.4.17 installer. The latest version available on the Lutris Vortex page is supposedly 1.4.15, so updating to the last version before 1.5 should be trivial. At that point I may also try updating to 1.5.13, however, there were apparently some 'vc runtime library' changes in 1.5.12, so updating beyond 1.4 may take some trial and error to get running if some winetricks or a newer WINE/WineLutris/Proton version are needed. Should I fork the repo from the last commit with the installer prior to the removal commit and update the installer there, or would you take the PRs for an updated Vortex installer directly to this repo? I only ask since I see the name changed since support for vortex was dropped.

EDIT: removed the files provided here in favor of those in my later comments below.

Vortex 1.1.15 can be installed from the outdated 2.0 release tag's vortex.yml. I added some registry keys to support Skyrim VR in the prior post's vortex.yml spoiler too. Vortex 1.4.17 can be installed from my major revision of the prior installer in the first spoiler of this comment. It contains my changes to the 2.0 installer and also uses the latest Lutris wine prefix (lutris-7.2-x86_64). Vortex 1.5.13 can be installed from the second spoiler of this comment. It only contains a version bump for Vortex. No other significant changes over the prior installer.

It seems Lutris cannot launch the Vortex runner. Everytime I click Play or use the desktop entry provided by Lutris, I get the common electron in linux error. However, we have better methods of starting Vortex which don't require starting Lutris at all and provide more analogous methods to those seen in a native Windows install anyways. Application launching parity with Vortex in a native Windows installation is already complete so Lutris play button support is optional/moot unless someone more inclined to fix it comes along. Overall, the performance in-app is nearly identical to using Vortex on Windows natively from my perspective, even as a premium user.

NicBOMB commented 2 years ago

If anyone with some good bash knowledge wants to get on board, I'll gladly provide all the necessary support.

@rockerbacon I completely overhauled the Lutris installer, added automatic Steam Library folder detection, and turned the vortex-symlinks.sh into a Lutris extension for the installer as well.

First of, i am so sorry for being stupid here but can i just download Vortex mod Manager via lutris website now? or i just download available yml on this page? since you already fix it.

I have not submitted my files to the Lutis website yet. Once I've gotten feedback, I'll submit it. Copy paste the yml installer file and select it in Lutris. This should resolve the broken installer issue.

Ah, yes! i'll gonna give a try thanks for your hardwork :)

Edit : So i give a test to your script by copying everything you posted on vortex-AIO.yml, installation progress is running just fine and now vortex is working, but after i closed my Vortex and select the first option of your warn, then error message pops up : https://i.postimg.cc/WpDywqC9/11.png

Did i just messed up with something?

NicBOMB commented 2 years ago

However, after i finish the installation progress the installation stuck is no longer appears and vortex seems just running as intended althought it is very slow.

I noticed the old version was slower than the new Lutris Wine 7 prefix too. I may also try a proton prefix, as it appears to speed up the modding tools I normally run in my default Wine prefix. If it is faster, I'll edit my comment above as well.

But again, another problem come again after i closing Vortex via terminal by typing "Xkill" (like i usually do), and then Vortex wont open anymore...it just stopped working. :(

Do not use xkill to close Vortex, or wine/proton. The styled close button in the app works. I have not tested any other close methods. The man page for xkill indicates why you are getting this behavior:

CAVEATS This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose connection to the X server is closed will abort nicely, or even abort at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X server. Many existing applications do indeed abort when their connection to the X server is closed, but some can choose to continue.

from: https://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.0/doc/html/xkill.1.html#toc4

You may have a lingering process for the wine prefix running Vortex if you use xkill. Vortex is basically headless at that point. You also cannot open multiple instances of Vortex with the provided desktop entry since it doubles as the nxm protocol handler. Since Vortex is open but headless, each time you use the provided desktop entry, Vortex will instead be sent a blank url argument. This function is intentional and prevents opening multiple instances of Vortex while providing seamless nxm protocol download integration through a single application entry. With older versions of Vortex, launching the provided url handler without a link actually presented the 'download started' message in Vortex followed by an unknown/empty url message. That was either resolved by a wine update or newer Vortex release.

tldr: Instead, try the user interface button to close Vortex. Is using xkill a preference or requirement?

hawari21 commented 2 years ago

Ah, i get it. Sorry about that...i used to close my vortex with xkill because when i was using an old Vortex installer 1.9.3 version everytime when i close it with close button an error show up that "the vortex.exe is missing", i dont know why is this could be happen....so xkill is the only method that just work for me at least (but that just in my case).

Anyway, i gonna give another try, thanks for your fast respond.

NicBOMB commented 2 years ago

when i was using an old Vortex installer 1.9.3 version everytime when i close it with close button an error show up that "the vortex.exe is missing"

I got that error in a previous installer version as well, though I have not encountered it with this wine prefix or vortex version. The goal of my Lutris installer is to reach parity with Vortex on windows. No need for workarounds is the objective.

hawari21 commented 2 years ago

Man, i am so sorry for kept bothering you, but i got an error whenever i tried to open Vortex. First of, i choose the first option that "create link Desktop entry", and click the shortcut then this message show up "failed to change directory (my external HDD) no such file directory". I checked "vortex-downloads-handler.desktop", and the directory is already right.

Do i need to choose different option to makes my entry shortcut? or can i just open them via terminal?

I haven't encountered that issue. I can troubleshoot with the $HOME/Games/vortex-mod-manager/install.log file. Try this symlinker I just improved. It has some minor bug fixes. EDIT: removed the files provided here in favor of those in my later comments below.

hawari21 commented 2 years ago

Welp, sadly it still does not work for me...i got same error everytime i select any different an entry option. Even this error message was pops up again now : https://i.postimg.cc/WpDywqC9/11.png

Sigh, maybe i was not lucky enough and gotta stick with old version for the time being (at least its work for me). Btw, i install my Vortex on another hardrive so it might be related with my issue, and oh! this is my install.log (i couldnt find it on .cache folder, but i found them in vortex folder. Thank you!

The game i was tried to play was FO4.

Welp, sadly it still does not work for me...i got same error everytime i select any different an entry option. Even this error message was pops up again now : https://i.postimg.cc/WpDywqC9/11.png

That is the error I encounter when using the wrong desktop entry. You should use the desktop entry created by the installer. The installer.log also specifies the exact location it was created at. Try launching that entry directly.

INFO: Making an entry for Vortex at "/home/haw/.local/share/applications/vortex-downloads-handler.desktop"

It should be found by your desktop environment's list of applications or other application runner. Make sure the desktop entry says Vortex Launcher and NXM Protocol Download Handler in the comment section.

i install my Vortex on another hardrive so it might be related with my issue

Install location for Vortex shouldn't be an issue. If the log states the directory being used by the installer is correct, then any mount point is probably fine.

INFO: Using Vortex prefix at "/mnt/476e760f-49aa-49d4-a380-847b79f1797c/Vortex"

Make sure that is the correct directory. It should be the same as the one specified when picking the installation folder in Lutris.

The game i was tried to play was FO4.

You have another obstacle to using my installer then: I did not see any "Found a Steam Library at " lines in the log. That indicates to me your Steam is installed somewhere different than my configuration. The previous installer will not find your games unless $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf exists. I'll try changing it to $HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf and see if that is a more portable solution. Otherwise, share the path to your libraryfolders.vdf and I will add it to the list to check for in the script section.

I split the installers off from the installer on the Lutris website for now. These new installers have completely different slugs to allow the linkers to find their respective Vortex prefix. I tested all four of these installers/extensions. ~I now have 3 Vortex installations. Send Help.~ There are now 40+ games automatically detected by these installers. Contributed Extensions for games also work and are included in the list below. EDIT: removed the files provided here in favor of those provided here: Official Lutris Installer (for Linux)

@NicBOMB please get in touch with me if you're still interested in maintaining a Vortex installer.

rockerbacon commented 3 months ago

NicBOMB and I have spoken in private and have agreed Vortex support will not continue for now. People wishing to use Vortex are recommended to use Steam Tinker Launch.

Sorry for the late update, I'm only now getting to cleaning up old issues.
