In this video, I cover how to install and use Vortex Mod Manager on Linux through Steam Tinker Launch. https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch#steam-tinker-launch My recommendation would be to install Vortex using Steam Tinker Launch, a versatile Linux wrapper tool designed to be used with the Steam client that allows easy graphical configuration of game tools such as GameScope, MangoHUD and modding tools. Step 1. Install Steam Tinker Launch. https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Installation#installation The installation of Steam Tinker Launch will vary depending on your distribution, so choose the one that is most relevant to your setup. https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall#readme For example, since Ubuntu does not meet the hard dependency requirement version of YAD, Steam Tinker Launch will be installed using the Pacstall package manager. Once Pacstall is installed, the latest build of Steam Tinker Launch can be installed with the following Terminal command pacstall -I steamtinkerlaunch-git Step 2. Install Vortex Mod Manager. First, launch Steam Tinker Launch, click the Vortex option, and select the Install option, selecting the default Vortex Proton version. Next, click the Install button to begin the installation process which will take a couple of minutes, and once finished click the Start button to launch Vortex. Step 3. Using Vortex. Once Vortex is running, click the game you wish to manage on the left-hand side, for example, Skyrim Special Edition, and then install and remove mods using the Mods tab. As mods are added, Vortex should automatically arrange a suitable load order using LOOT. However, there are a couple of things that unfortunately do not function correctly when running Vortex through Wine, at least in my experience. First, you cannot sign into your Nexus Mods account using Vortex which means that the download with mod manager links on the website do not work, but you can still manually download and install mods by dragging and dropping them. Second, if you use a mod that requires a script extender to be installed, then Vortex will tell you that it is not installed correctly, even when it is. Step 4. Install Script Extenders. Some mods, especially ones for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series, have some mods that require script extenders, which will work correctly on Linux, if you run the game using Steam Proton. You just need to rename some files in the game’s installation folder. For example, one of the mods I have installed for Skyrim is SKYUI which requires SKSE or the Skyrim Script Extender. http://skse.silverlock.org/ First, download the latest build of SKSE, extract the folder, take a copy of all the files and folders and paste into the game’s installation path. Next, rename SkyrimSELauncher.exe to SkyrimSELauncher.exe.old and skse64_loader.exe to SkyrimSELauncher.exe This means that when Skyrim is launched, it will bypass the launcher and load SKSE directly. #vortex #linuxgaming #modding Social Media Links Discord - https://discord.gg/3SxGk3WG2D Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Intelligent-Gaming-101640054531594 Mastodon - https://mastodon.social/@Intelligentgaming Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelligentGaming2020/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/inspectorgecko
