Tried it as default vs custom install
Can't add pictures here either
but
Takes longer than normal during install
Hangs on the finish/launch part as well
Then sits at very high power usage
as Vortex (Not Responding)
I'll try as update vs fresh
Think it gave longer logs
but doubt I can paste it
tho was the same result
I'll also reiterate that 1.15.2 & alpha.2 install fine
Only other relevant info would be that I'm on win 10 end-of-life edition
Oh, seems to get hung up on Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry background process right before splash screen goes unresponsive
FYI @brazen onyx https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/18862
It's probably down to the logger
@fresh swift, we can't seem to reproduce the issue on our end. Might sound silly but want to confirm that you used the alpha.3 installer that was linked in this channel, and didn't source it from somewhere else.
Sorry, couldn't post pic
iirc correctly, I used the download in chat vs github source for that one
How did I get an old copy
I'll check in a min if installs cleanly
It's a weird one, not sure how that happened - potentially a GH cache issue when downloading via the https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex-Staging/releases/download/v1.16.0-alpha.3/vortex-setup-1.16.0-alpha.3.exe link 🤷♂️
Going through the GH page is the right approach
