The Steam, GOG, and Epic versions of both the classic edition and the Spacer's Choice Edition are supported. The Xbox version of the classic edition (available on Game Pass) is also supported. Other versions may need to select the install location manually.
The Xbox version of Spacer's Choice Edition will not work until I get the required info detailed below.
This extension integrates the Unreal Engine Mod Installer extension. You can download and install it manually, or Vortex will ask you to install it after setup. Includes Load Order tab for managing load order of .pak mods.
A few things to note:
- For upscalers, reshades, and other mods that need to be next to the game executable, please use the "Binaries (Engine Injector)" mod type. This is also currently the default mod installation path.
- Mods intended for the game's root directory should be automatically installed as mod type "Root Game Folder".
- Config files will be automatically installed to the correct folder in Local AppData.
- In order to manage load order of .pak files, you need to make sure the mod type is "Unreal Engine 4 Sortable Mod" for each of those mods (this should be assigned by default).
XBOX (Game Pass) Users - Spacer's Choice Edition - I need additional info before I can get a working extension for you.
