For the people who are getting "failed to set game mode" on steam. The issue is that the Plugin is trying to find 'NierAutomataCombat.exe' to identify the game. Steam, for some reason updates to remove it, which can be brought back by verifying game files but later removed due to steam 'updating' when launching the game. You can verify this by looking into the Nier folder and verifying the game files and see it appear and when launching the game, Steam updates to remove it. To Fix the issue go into the plugin/extension at C:\Users\(Your pc name)\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\plugins\Vortex Extension Update - NieR Automata Vortex Support v1.0.5 and right click the Index.js and Open With NotePad. Find the line 27 which contains "requiredFiles: ["NieRAutomata.exe", "NieRAutomataCompat.exe", "data/data000.cpk"]," and remove "NierAutomataCompact.exe", so the extension can find the game without any issue. I found out the issue by checking out Bugs tab and seeing Goblinchic reply.
When I select a folder game, a window says "this directory doesn't appear to contain game" it not found NieRAutomata . exe, NieRAutomataCompat.exe and data/data000.cpk I don't know how to fix that, It's like I selected the wrong folder. Please a solution, tks
needs an update to be compatible with the latest game version. Remove the requirement for NieRAutomataCompat.exe, it doesn't exist in the newest update.
I don't think is working. Vortex keeps telling me "Failed to start game through launcher" It does start the game but no mods seem to be active. Is there anything I can do?
Hello, probably late but going into index.js and going to the line requiredfiles and removing NieRautomatacompat.exe should enable the extension to find the game. I explained more about to how fix the issue on the post underneath.
Yah, building in NAMH support would be pretty non-trivial, so unless the NAMH wanted to work together I don't see it being supported by this extension.
