Vortex for Linux 2.10.1-2

• Game settings has a Wine tab for Windows games: it shows the prefix Vortex
  uses and where it came from, and you can choose another folder. Vortex checks
  that the folder is a prefix before using it. Steam, Heroic, Lutris and Bottles
  still start their games in their own prefix, so a different folder there only
  moves the game's INI and plugin files and where tools run. The error message
  used to point at a button on the Dashboard that the current layout doesn't
  have. (#22)
• Steam games whose Proton prefix is in another Steam library than the game,
  for example after moving the game to an SD card, no longer fail with "Wine
  prefix is unavailable" or "Proton version is not installed". A game that really
  has no prefix yet now gets a message asking to start it once from Steam.

Vortex for Linux 2.10.0-1

• Vortex 2.10.0. Some of our Linux fixes are part of Vortex itself now
  (finding the drive a folder is on, suggesting a staging folder on a mounted
  drive), so the patches that carried them got smaller.
• Choosing "import" for a file changed outside Vortex no longer leaves a
  .vortex-import folder in the staging folder, which Vortex then offered to
  add as a mod.
• Windows .NET programs started through Wine no longer inherit the location of
  the Linux .NET runtime that the AppImage and the packages bring, which could
  keep them from finding their own runtime.
• Game extensions that use Node's fs directly now find files in Documents
  and %APPDATA% where Vortex's own file functions put them: in the game's
  Proton prefix when the prefix has that folder.
• Native packages for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE: releases now
  include vortex-linux_<version>_amd64.deb for Ubuntu 24.04 or newer and
  Debian 13 or newer, and vortex-linux-<version>-x86_64.rpm for Fedora 43 or
  newer, openSUSE Leap 16 and Tumbleweed. apt, dnf or zypper install Vortex with
  its dependencies and an app menu entry. Like the AppImage, the packages bring
  their own .NET runtimes.

Vortex for Linux 2.9.0-5

• Plugin management writes plugins.txt and loadorder.txt into the game's
  Proton or Wine prefix again. Vortex 2.9.0 rewrote that code to use Node's
  file system directly, which skipped the Linux folder mapping, so the files
  ended up in ~/Local/<game> and the game loaded no plugins. A Plugins.txt
  the game left behind in a different letter case is renamed, so it can't
  shadow Vortex's list on a case-sensitive disk. (#31)

Vortex for Linux 2.9.0-4

• Experimental: games installed through Lutris' Wine runner are recognised.
  Point Vortex at the game folder and it deploys into the game's Lutris prefix,
  starts the game through Lutris and runs modding tools with the game's Wine
  build. GOG and Epic games from Lutris' services are also found when a game
  extension looks them up by store ID.
• Experimental: games installed in a Bottles bottle are recognised the same
  way. A game folder inside a bottle, or one holding a program added to a
  bottle, uses that bottle as its prefix, starts through bottles-cli and runs
  tools with the bottle's runner.
• The 2.6.2 recipe carries the Linux fixes from 2.8.2-3 through 2.9.0-3:
  extension config paths, deployment preflight and target logging, extensions
  behind a symlinked home, differently cased game paths, backslash archive
  paths, nxm:// links from the AppImage, mixed-case deployment folders and the
  default Wine prefix. The 1.16.9 recipe gets the last three. (#16, #20, #22)
• Building the package, also with the 1.16.9 and 2.6.2 recipes, no longer
  downloads QuickBMS from altervista.org: the server refuses the download and
  on some networks the request hung until the build was interrupted. The
  "Build a selected Vortex version" workflow works again on a fork; Git refused
  to read the checkout inside the build container. (#24)

• A game added by hand, outside Steam and Heroic, runs in Wine's default
  prefix ($WINEPREFIX or ~/.wine) instead of failing with "The game's Wine
  prefix is unavailable". The message now also says where to set a different
  prefix: edit the game on the Dashboard, Environment Variables. (#22)

Vortex for Linux 2.9.0-2

• Mods whose archives use Windows backslashes between folders install
  correctly. Vortex can also remove a leftover .installing folder, and mods
  that earlier releases installed with backslashes in their file names, instead
  of reporting them as "open in another application". (#16)
• Folders that mods spell in different case, such as textures and
  Textures, are deployed into one folder. Vortex created both when it linked
  their files at the same time, and the game found only one of them. (#20)

Vortex for Linux 2.9.0-1

• Vortex 2.9.0.
• LOOT uses the native binding that now comes with Vortex itself instead of
  one built from libloot's sources, so building the package no longer needs
  Rust. It is the same libloot version, 0.29.6.
• Mods whose archives use Windows backslashes between folders, such as
  Appearance Runtime Plugin for Cyberpunk 2077, install into those folders
  instead of as one file named after the whole path. (#16)
• The AppImage handles "Mod Manager Download" links from the Nexus Mods
  website. With "Handle Nexus Links" on, it adds its own hidden desktop entry
  for nxm:// links, since an AppImage installs none. (#18)

Vortex for Linux 2.8.2-4

• Extensions you install work when the Vortex settings folder is reached
  through a symlink, such as /home on Fedora Atomic or a ~/.config/Vortex
  moved to another disk. They can load the modules bundled with Vortex (Elden
  Ring failed with "Cannot find module 'turbowalk'"), and an error in one shows
  the extension error notice instead of closing Vortex. (#14)
• Game files that an extension names in a different letter case from the
  install are found, such as Elden Ring's executable in its Game folder, so
  the game is recognised, starts and reports its version. (#15)
