Mods now not working after PC updating

[Tebz]

Hey, So I recently updated my windows (bad idea), and all of a sudden, my mods in Vortex suddenly won't work. Does anyone have the same problem or a possible solution?

[Khalunka]

Maybe delete everything and install from the beginning?

[Tebz]

did all that, reininstalled vortex, using one mod and still nothing

[Khalunka]

You can always install the mods manually then and ditch the Vortex. Its a easy process, quite quick too. Edit: I googled that, sometimes, the .pak files can be 'blocked' by windows security and you need to select their proprieties and unblock them. Sounds like many people had this problem in plenty of mods at some time.

not working here either says its a mismatch in versions

I've never had this problem but I install manually and don't even have Vortex installed. Vortex might be part of the problem.

bit late but!
It seems like (probably xD) your system after update locked all files inside mod folder because they're from external source. Unlock them and see if they work now

[VonGraff]

if you have multiple mods just use windows powershell program.

1. open the program
2. paste your mods directory there with "cd" before so full command looks like this

cd D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance\mods

(at least for me ofc)
3. copy and paste this command and press enter - basically everything

gci -recurse | Unblock-File

and you can shut down powershell and hopefully enjoy your game with mods

For anyone reading this, I just had the same issue since installing the Win11 24H2 update and none of my KCD mods were working via Vortex.

I just fixed it by first purging all mods in Vortex, then changing KCD mods to use Hardlink deployment instead of Symlink (in Vortex settings > Mods tab > deployment method) then redeploy mods.

There is actually no "hard deployment" - did you changed anything inside Vortex for this option?

My Mods also not working anymore since windows update btw.

What's this 'vortex' malarkey? How hard can it be to create a 'Mods' directory and just drop them into it?

This is the best comment ever. Sadly though, I don't like giving out awards for comments. Just know that I sincerely and wholeheartedly love this comment on account of how true it is.

Dont get me wrong, i understand what you mean - but i dont use Vortex just for KCD. Sometimes its just more handy for me to keep my Mods listed in Vortex.

I found a fix for the Issue with the "Windows Update"

1. Uninstall Vortex
2. Manually insert all the Mods inside your "Mods" folder important here it has to be "Mods" not "mods"
3. Rename all Mod Folder and delete spaces etc. just clear names
4. Create the mod_order data (if you dont already have one) and list all mods inside it you put in your Mod Folder.
5. Done your Mods should work again.

Well maybe for KCD, but there other games in which Vortex is kinda handy to manage your mods. Imagine you take a sec and think about your Comment before posting anything. :)

I don't give a rat's end about other games. And even for KCD you only need a small amount of convenience mods, like 'stay clean longer' or removing Mutt's howl. If you need to mod a game completely out of shape, maybe it isn't the right game for you to begin with. And those few QoL mods can be installed be just dropping them into a directory. Why do you need to introduce needless complexity?

Actually its not my first playtrough - i already played the game on Console, so now i would've enjoyed again on PC with some QoL Mods like unlimited saving etc. cause i'm playing hardcore.

But the saving feature is part of the hardcore experience . . . I mean you do you, just saying.
