The same thing keeps happening to me. I have tried to install it three times with the same result.

It should be under games in the left top of the lutris corner. If not there, then you may close it before it’s done. Also, try Manuel to install it in wine and open it with lutris.

Hi,
same here, tried the installation several times.
I believe the install script shuts down after the “continue after internet is disconnected” prompt.
After disconnecting internet and hitting next, Vortex starts and the installer shuts down without adding the shortcut/launcher to Lutris.
Vortex then runs fine, I deactivated the auto-update feature and closed Vortex.
However then there’s no way to restart Vortex without the shurtcut though. I tried to create a custom shurtcut by browsing through the install script and manually adding the settings for the launch shortcut. But I can’t get it running.
Any help on the necessary settings would be great.
Thx!

The exact same thing happened to me. I’ve been trying to get Vortex working all day, but the install script doesn’t create a shortcut once the install is finished. I tried creating my own shortcut afterwards, but it wouldn’t launch.

Lutris doesn’t recognise that Vortex has been installed and the only option is to install it again.

Also during the install process when Vortex first launches the UI seems to hang sometimes. On a few of my install attempts I couldn’t even reach the page to disable updates because Vortex had completely frozen.

What wine have you set up for the Vortex application?

I’m having the exact same issue. Followed the install instructions to the letter, gave it the path to my game directory where it said to install it on the same drive, supposed to be the automatic setup. Vertex started and ran fine from the installer and now Lutris can’t find the exe and the only thing Vertex related in my game directory is the installer.

I see others have been waiting for 7 months and no reply from Lutris.

Pretty disheartening honestly. I only play one game on my laptop, Skyrim SE, and I can’t get ANY mod organizer to run in LInux except Wrye Bash, which I don’t care for. I may have to just go back to doing all my modding in a Windows 10 virtualbox and uninstall Lutris for good, which is a pita, but at least it works.

So i want guide here please check configurations

  • Make sure Vortex is actually installed. Check the folder where you installed it (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Vortex) and see if the files are there.
  • Try running Vortex directly from the executable file rather than through a shortcut. Navigate to the Vortex install location and run the “vortex.exe” file.
  • Check if Vortex is blocked by your firewall or antivirus software. You may need to add exclusions for the Vortex folder and executable.
  • Try reinstalling Vortex. Download the latest version from the Vortex Mod Manager website and do a clean install. Make sure to uninstall any previous versions first.
  • Restart your computer. Sometimes files don’t register properly until a reboot.
  • Make sure you installed the correct Vortex version for your game (there are separate versions for different games).
  • Check that you installed all required runtimes and prerequisites like .NET Framework 4.5+. Vortex may fail to launch without them.
  • As a last resort, try manually registering the .dll files required by Vortex using the regsvr32 command.
  • See if Vortex launches if you create a new Windows user profile and test it there. Issues with the profile may prevent Vortex from registering properly.
