Vortex & AppData failing to sync outside of Vortex. #1268

System Information

  • SteamTinkerLaunch version: v14.0.20250602
  • Distribution: Arch Linux
  • Installation Method: Arch Packages (yay, steamtinkerlaunch-git)

Issue Description

Files between the Vortex CompatData, specifically AppData, both Local and Roaming, and possibly Documents, fail to sync with the Game's prefix.
In my example, I was setting up Fallout 4 mods, and launching through Vortex, would load all the mods, as it would sync all files within Vortex, likely due to Symlinks, however if I were to launch Fallout 4 through either SteamTinkerLaunch, or Steam normally, the files would not be linked, resulting in mods breaking / failing to load, due to plugins.txt and loadorder.txt missing.
Currently, my fix to this is to manually copy the AppData files from Vortex's prefix, to the Steam Prefix, however I was expecting this to be synced outside of running Vortex, at the very least through SteamTinkerLaunch, as it is listed as a Symlink for Vortex
