Vortex crashing

[FeNIXv1]

Hey im using Vortex for Like 3 weeks now and Sometimes it happen that it Crashes but was Always fixed by rebooting. Now i have the Problem that nothing seems to Help No rebooting No Update. Maybe someone Had this Error before IT Shows the Vortex Icon shortly and then Exit the apllication.

[FeNIXv1]

And i already tried to use the Update and install.sh to fix Bit sadly its Not starting... I would completly reinstall IT but i have a Lot of mods and i dont want to Install all of them again ...

Anything interesting in the logs?

[FeNIXv1]

No sadly nothing that looks weird

Not able to reproduce on my end, but here are some ideas:

Turn off Session Restore

Might help if it's trying to do something weird here, not sure.

1. System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Session Restore -> Start with an empty session -> Apply
2. Then reboot and try launching Vortex again

Update Proton and Vortex

Just pushed an update and this will switch to the latest Proton GE and re-install Vortex. Shouldn't wipe config or anything.

1. Run the "Update Pikdum's Tools" shortcut
2. Then run ./install-vortex.sh in /home/deck/.pikdum/steam-deck-master/vortex
3. Then reboot and try launching Vortex again

Ok I did all the Steps First time IT crashed but after trying again it started Up^^ but i ran into a weird Message during the Installation you can See in the picure "permission denied" Ist there anything i need to Look Out for that it wont Break again ? But im really thankful for the fast Help and the effort you Put in all of this. Much Love from me

Updating Proton and Vortex resolved my issues.

Shipped an update that should fix this.

1. run Update Pikdum's Tools to get the latest version
2. start Vortex a. might need to restart

Feel free to re-open if it doesn't.
