Releases: Nexus-Mods/Vortex-Staging
1.11.4
1.11.3
1.11 is finally ready to go! This took a bit longer than expected due to the Fallout 4 Next-Gen release but this update intends to resolve a few long standing issues which have affected collection curators and game extensions that utilize Vortex's File-Based Load Ordering functionality.
For the collection curators - the comparison of patches and installer choices, modtype changes and bundled-mod file lists now takes place during collection installation. This means that Vortex will compare the options that the user selected for the currently installed mod against those packaged by the curator of the collection they are downloading.
Note for curators - please make sure your mods are set to the correct mod type when generating/updating a collection as that is the mod type that will be pushed to your users regardless of the game extension configuration.
The File-Based Load Ordering more is performant in the core app with a lot of the feedback coming from the Baldur's Gate 3 community. We've had to wait to push the game extension update until the core was ready but we now have a more performant load ordering, PAK file reading, caching etc. Along with these changes, collection installations are now quicker because of it. Along with Baldur's Gate 3, other games that use this functionality include Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077 and several other community written extensions.
Our update workflow has been overhauled with rewritten notifications, added info dialogs when swapping update channels as well as turned off force download of updates (unless they are hotfixes and need to be pushed out for security\stability reasons).
If you discover any issues, please check the Nexus Mods Forums or in Discord and report bugs via GitHub. Thanks and happy modding!

Comparison of patches and installer choices now takes place during collection installation. Vortex now compares the options the user selected for the currently installed mod against those packaged by the curator of the collection they are downloading.
We've put in a lot of work to make the File-Based Load Ordering more performant in the core app with a lot of the feedback coming from the Baldur's Gate 3 community. We've had to wait to push the game extension update until the core was ready but we now have a more performant load ordering, PAK file reading, caching etc. Along with these changes, collection installations are now quicker because of it.
Our update workflow has been overhauled with rewritten notifications, added info dialogs when swapping update channels as well as turned off force download of updates (unless they are hotfixes and need to be pushed out for security\stability reasons).
All of these changes have been tested in house for several weeks but still may not be perfect - it is a beta after all! As soon as these updates are confirmed to be stable then this update go out to everyone.
