FAQs

Why isn t my vortex mod working? ›

The solution is quite simple. Log out and back into Vortex and retry. If step 1 fails, try restarting Vortex. If neither of these options work, there may be a different problem such as the mod you're trying to download has been removed or your local security software is causing errors.

To make use of Vortex, you need to make sure that the mod folder is located in the same driver where the game is installed. If you encounter Vortex deployment failed issue, it is very possible that the mod folder is in another drive. So, you can try moving the mod folder to the game drive to fix the issue.

Simply download the mod you want and install it by dragging and dropping the archive into the Vortex window or use the "Install From File" option. Wait for the installation to finish and deploy the mods. All options for these mods (if they have any) and for the Middle Earth Mod Loader itself can be modified in-game.

If you want to take your game back to a default, unmodded state, you can use Vortex's Purge feature. Click the Purge Mods button from the Mods list and Vortex will undeploy all your enabled mods, leaving your game directory essentially unmodded.

A deployment method refers to how Vortex installs your mods so they load when the game is launched. When adding a supported game to Vortex, it will automatically choose the best deployment method for your game and system. It is not recommended that you switch the deployment method.

By default the path will be C:\Users\{YourAccountName}\AppData\Vortex , which can quickly be accessed by typing %APPDATA%\Vortex into any file browser.
