After downloading and installing mods with Vortex, you need to click on the Load Order tab and select an in game profile.  Otherwise, it will seem like none of your mods are in the game.  Dragging and dropping to change the order works fine. Do not click deploy mods otherwise the order will change.

    Does not work. No mods show up in the load order and I keep getting "failed to read pak" error messages....

      Deploying the mods is the only way to get them to show up and be 'ordered'

      had this issue forever and found that you have to download and install .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime from Microsoft without the update the new patches wont work on BG3.

    У меня всё работает кроме мода на изменение внешности напарников,может такое быть из-за пиратки?

    I'm sure people value Vortex. But when I look at Load Order, and only 3 of my 10 BG3 mods are on it, I just lose the will to live.

    I may have had the mods directory set up wrong but vortex's default is what I used when I set up. It  recognised the game files for bg3 as mods for some reason, I went to unmanage the game and pressed yes to the deletion of the few mods I had added to the game, hair and cc mods... Then it deleted the whole 110gb game... Back to another day of waiting... So it did delete files it didn't put there. Don't use vortex, it's prone to being a big hassle for this game! I'm going to only use laughing leaders mod manager. Getting rid of vortex altogether. Only game it was good for was Skyrim and now I've gone to play that and all my mods are disabled for some reason and I don't know which ones I had on my save. Two games ruined, bye vortex!

    Does vortex work with bg3 yet or do we still need to use a different manager

    I wish we could have the option to avoid the staging folder, I know other people have issues with files added to their game's original folder, but the fact that I have to have Vortex running to be able to have my mods running every time I want to play is extremely annoying, or at least let me export the mod load order so I can use another manager that does not intrude this much with my gaming.

    Is there anyway to create a load order text list?

    How do I get controller to work on here? Thought it might’ve been a mod disabling it but I’ve deleted the mods and still no controller support when launching through Vortex

    Vortex
    > Load Order  >  Changing your load order;
    Now states that;
    "Patch 9 removed the feature of switching profiles inside the game, savegames are now tied to the character.  It is currently unknown if these profiles will return but of course you can continue to use Vortex profiles."

    I'm getting a red error notification from Vortex saying that;
    *"Failed to write a load order*
    please run the game at least once and create a profile in-game."

    (I have ran the game for an hour or so, still no sign of a "profile" on Vortex.
    I only have 1 mod + the full release mod fixer in my load order.  Haven't been able to get it to work in-game though.)

    Larian is also giving me a warning message in the LariLauncher saying;
    "We've detected a data mismatch..."

      well, I've met the same question as yours. But no worries, I launched the game and it worked, all mods loaded.

      okay, I can't just launch the game now...
