TES5Edit VS Vortex

See the The Case for Exclusively Supporting .esm Files in Starfield (midway on the page).

The Source Code Form is available at https://github.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit

You can find it here, by the way. Just make sure to run it through MO2, otherwise it won't find your plugins.

I can see they use xEdit from NM (link) but they also mention only "-SSE" argument on cleaning. 4.0.4 NM version of xEdit also needs "-DontCache" argument, you can read issue 803, it was fixed in further experimental versions but not in the NM release. If anyone use 4.0.4 they absolutely need "-DontCache" to avoid missing parts of Soul Cairn and Apocrypha.

xEdit is one of the main modding tools. It allows you to view and edit .ESP, .ESM, and .ESL files, view conflicts between these files, and a whole lot more (I'm really selling it short there). It's available here, with an installation tutorial here

Also I suggest updating your SSEEdit, it's up to 4.1.4 now https://github.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit/releases

Download it from Github: https://github.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit

First, "copy as overwrite into" in FO4Edit 4.0.3 gave me an "assertion failure in line 15543" and empty records, something like this https://github.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit/issues/651 . Supposedly, it's fixed in TES5Edit 4.0.3h but I have no idea of how to build it from source and if it will work with FO4.

Ok, I've installed it. The script in lutris indeed did not work, but it had a link in the description. That link sends you here: Official Lutris Installer (for Linux) · Issue #10686 · Nexus-Mods/Vortex · GitHub

A lot of those will actually work in Wine/Proton, though configuring it is a pain in the ass. Vortex is supposedly getting close to native Linux support and that's a major one, in the meantime this script for Lutris seems to be recommended by the people working on Vortex. Apparently the one on Lutris itself uses an outdated version and is much jankier.

it links to THIS thread -- https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/10686

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/12680 This guy was having the same issue as I was, but then a moderator came in and said "it was fixed in an update" before closing the problem, but clearly the problem still exists. You can't just pretend problems aren't there.

Vortex does work really well with wine, I recommend using the scripts from this GitHub issue: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/10686

If this doesn't fix your problems, you'll either need to wait for next Vortex beta-release, or alternatively you can first in Vortex under Settings - Vortex change "Update" to "No automatic updates" and afterwards download and install an older Vortex version from https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/releases

Vortex has no way of doing this. Apparently it's not possible.

Have you disabled it? Either do this or reinstall Vortex. https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/9371

i tried seeing if there was a way i could manually repath it, but i couldn't find anything in the settings (correct me if im wrong). but in the notification with the error, there's no fix option. all it says is it cant execute ModInstallerIPC.exe and gives no further information (no error code, no details). im really lost here :p but it seems im not alone https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/12308
