VORTEX Mod Manager Steam Deck Tutorial | How to Install Guide

[@EternalSilver_]

2 things I'd like to add to this video 1: instead of moving the folder pick the create link option instead. It works just as well 2: On steam deck if you don't have a m&kb plugged in there's no way to get the context menu to open to allow you to paste links in vortex Just open the keyboard & near the bottom right there's a paste button. Use that.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Thanks for your suggestions. I don't like the link option because over time I forget what links where and it gets messy. But that's just my personal preference. Thanks for the input.

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

I did everything he said but when I added Vortex to Steam "Non-games" Library...I clicked on the "settings cog", so once I opened Vortex, I do not see the Compatibility tab...all I see is "Shortcut" and "Controller"... 🤔 I downloaded Vortex twice and also my Vortex didn't have exe at the end of it either...I even installed it the second time around to see if that was the problem, and nope, still no "Compatibility" tab... I'm on the Legion Go.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

you're on the legion go with windows, you don't need compatability. proton is for linux. it's a layer to play windows games on linux.

[@Valcirin]

The second way doesn't work for me. When I try to paste smth nothing is happening

[@EternalSilver_]

@Valcirin yeah I think you have to tap the box again after you open the keyboard because it takes you out for some reason.

[@nvvv_]

I'm like 99% sure symlink is way smarter than copying the entire game folder. Especially because there's a "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps" directory already inside Vortex's compatdata folder. If you just symlink the "common" directory from your actual steamapps folder, you get a C:\ file path for Nexus, and can also keep all your different games inside one folder and not have to do a ton of copying if you want to work on multiple games.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

That's good for steam games.

[@Milerzz]

So just in case anyone is as new as I am at navigating the steam deck, when you get to the part where you have to put quotes around the path in the ‘target’ field, to get the keyboard to pull up, just hit X. For some reason I’d got it in my head that I needed to hit the steam button and then X to open the keyboard, and was getting very frustrated when I was unsuccessful for an embarrassingly long time. Just hit X. That’s all. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the corner wearing a dunce cap. I’ll also be playing my newly modded save file for Baldur’s Gate 3, so at least there’s that.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Yes, virtual keyboard can be brought up with steam button plus x button.

[@cloudstrife428]

I guess I'm still feeling like a dunce. I can bring the keyboard up, but the address field won't register any input from the keyboard. 😩

[@xLadii_Vixenx]

Would you happen to know why when I get to the part to put the Game location in the drive C: folder, when I go to my steam library, and press options on my game, there is no shortcut option where the links are. I have general, and compatibility tab. But no target url or anything

[@specrtre]

Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial. The only issues i had was lack of knowledge on my end on where to find things at lol.

Installing vortex directly in an existing game's prefix might work as well. Thanks for all your tutorials. They are really helpful.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

It would work, but you would need to change target exe from vortex.exe to game.exe everytime which will be a hassle. And you would need to install vortex for every game you want to mod.

[@nonjas1]

I found that adding a link to the file directory works, I made one to the BG3 folder in my steamcommon folder and it detected the game when I selected that directory link as the folder

[@KregisAurelius]

​@@nonjas1can you please explain more? Do you mean like a shortcut to the game folder in the vortex directory? I know it doesn't take much time but if I could save copy pasting the game folder every time that would def be preferred

[@Ubeleili]

@@KregisAurelius Yes, exactly, I did this too.

[@kickflipking06]

Man this really helped me with my bannerlord mods thank you, I will be installing sim mods for my gfs deck. Appreciate this tutorial, it does take a lot of trial and error and patience but it all works if you just take your time. And I cannot stress enough that if you are on a steam deck first download all the mods and enable them when the game is on the c drive. Do not redownload the game like steam wants too, instead go in your c drive folder where your vortex lives and manually drag and drop your game back into your steam common library it will boot with everything you added, I know he mentioned it but it was a bit unclear and I thought you needed two copy’s and I’m sure people having an issue are doing the same thing I was. Happy modding.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Thanks for sharing! Happy gaming!

[@lumopal6473]

You installed the mods downloading manually or with vortex manager auto option? I can't see the mods installed in the mod section in the Launcher...

[@kickflipking06]

@@lumopal6473 I installed the mods by opening vortex and dropping them from my browser download straight to the section that says downloads once the game was in the c drive folder of vortex. Also I enabled the DIII on steam deck it will ask permission to execute not the same security tab they show here. Also I found that if I just open the zip folder and find the actual mod I can drag that to my modules folder in my game and not have to use vortex. Vortex just helps make it simple and easy. You probably haven’t gone into the folder and enabled diii, go to the bin folder and open the windows 64 folder and in their will be the diii, enable it but going to permissions and putting executable. I’ve got like 30+ bannerlord mods working this way.

[@nickramakers6694]

how did you do it i cant get mine to work its also for bannerlord

[@lumopal6473]

@@nickramakers6694 In the end I downloaded them manually and tried one by one to see which mod the game crashed for me, it was a very old one from bandit militia or something like that so I removed it and it was already working fine, you also have to look carefully at the loading order of the mods, there is some guide out there but they usually put the ones that make the most changes to the game like RBM as high as you can but below vanilla, you download them manually and extract them and paste them in the folder that says "modules", if you want To use vortex you need a keyboard to ctrl+v the mod link as done in the video but if you get used to doing it manually it is easy. Oh and look at the version of the mod, if it is very old, look for a newer similar one or change the version through the Steam beta to an older one.

[@brianfrog14]

This video is very well explained. I downloaded this on my steam deck before, but I couldn’t get Game on the manager, so I gave up and uninstalled the program, but if I can’t get mod to work this time, I’m not going to ever uninstall this program because it is difficult to get it to work again for me. I feel like I’m coding whenever he says change thedirectories and stuff around. I have never done anything like this so without this guide I wouldn’t know what to do. Thank you.

Guys I need some serious help on this one. I downloaded 9 mods and exported it into the Steam Deck to install. I kept getting "External Changes" errors. My Witcher 3's installed on the Micro SD card so I took some of the advice and moved the Vortex app folder into the Micro SD Card.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

it's harder to run on sd card i think.

[@evolutionsfake]

I figured out a way to use symlinks with this video! This way you don’t have to move the entire game folder and possibly mess up future game updates with Steam. You have to create two Symlink folders. The first folder goes to the game folder for managing(c root “Starfield”--> game root folder).The second folder goes to a completely empty mod folder(c root “Mods”-->(game root “Mods”, used for deployment and staging (created a mods folder within the root game folder) I was getting a “mods can’t be deployed”error before I did this and after I did this, the error completely went away.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

thanks for sharing! as most my games are non-steam games, i can run them anywhere so i like to just move the game folder inside the vortex/wemod prefix folder i created so it can both be modded and run cheats at the same time.

Dude, you and the original poster are life savers! It took me awhile to find the install location for Vortex.

I will use the one in the vortex directory as a fake location for my game when vortex will ask to insert the location manually. Am i right?

[@evolutionsfake]

You might need to update this to sort by accessed date. For whatever reason modified date, does not update to newest. Only access date does.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

It still does for me. But to be sure, you can just open protontricks and check the number for the folder.

[@jalyson575]

Awesome guide! For those of you who are exclusively using an sd card for your games, rather than moving your games to your hard drive logical thing is move vortex instead. You can use the same method of drag and drop to move the black tree game folder to your external drive if you already installed to your decks internal drive

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

I actually installed vortex on wemod prefix. And now all games are on wemod prefix folder so I can use wemod and vortex to manage them without transferring them around.

[@jalyson575]

So belay my above post, if you just move vortex to the sd cars it affects updating it and the uninstaller, so it is better to just install it to the drive your keeping your games on in the first place. I ended up deleting it and then reinstalled in my case

another great video. perfect while i wait for steams KH tomorrow. i was curious, normally for non steam/quacked, i install on pc and copy the files over to the deck and add it as a non steam game. would this technically also work for vortex? i install on pc, then copy over the folder to the deck and add it as non steam?

Technically you could do that. I just find it easier to install directly on steam deck. Less transferring files so less likely any bad transfers.

Fallout 4 doesn't have the C drive folder you copied into the Vortex instance. I tried directing it to the other FO4 directory, and now it can't access the ini's from the user folder. I'm a little worried about copying both directories over, cause the game might get confused on where to place saves. Edit: I copied the Fallout 4 folder from the other directory (right click the game in steam, browse files), and that worked. It just took rebooting Vortex a few times to generate the ini's in the documents location.
