Game extensions can make use of this extension's API to automatically detect file corruption and restore the files for you.Īs an extension developer - API functionality has been added to allow game extensions to start the Steam game file verification process (parameters: ISteamKitParameters, gameId: string) Vortex will allow you to select which files to restore Why would I use this extension instead of Steam's own file verification system you ask? Simply click on it to purge your mods and start the Steam Authentication process - the file verification process will kick off if valid credentials are provided if any damaged/tampered files are detected, Vortex will allow you to choose which files you wish to restore to their original state. Let me know in the posts area if you've tested any other games (which are bundled with Vortex) and I'll fix the game extensions.įinally - if anyone knows how to query mod metadata by published file id through the Steam API, please get in touch with me so I can add an API based dependency resolution.Īs a Vortex user - a new button has been added to the toolbar on the mods page, 'Verify Files' with the Steam icon. I can currently only confirm it's working as expected with Rimworld and Kenshi.

The UI is currently fugly - I'm not a front-end developer - will do my best to improve it in the future.ĭepending on the game, some mods might generate installation errors as the game extensions themselves are not prepared to deal with Steam Workshop mods.

Please report any issues you experience with this extension in the bugs tab on this page.Ī new page has been added to allow users to browse Steam Workshop mods - you will need a Steam Web API key the extension will inform you where and how to generate one. You will have to run it again on startup to ensure the game files are not corrupted. Closing Vortex during the file verification process will leave your game in an unknown state. DO NOT install or deploy mods while the file verification process is running as it will most probably end (very) badly. Running the file verification process will cause Vortex to run a purge operation, this is done to restore any replacement files and avoid breaking your mods. Vortex does NOT save/store your Steam credentials and will not do so in the future, as per guidelines in Steam's T&S. Couple of things to note before downloading this extension:
