Nexus-Mods/Vortex v2.2.0-beta.1

2.2.0-beta.1

on GitHub

First beta of the 2.2 release.

Added

• Settings UI for the new download manager (bandwidth throttling and related options) (#23448)
• Bullet and adult-aware Image UI components; the image wrapper blurs Nexus adult content per the adultBlurImages preference (#23427)
• Pill UI component for compact tags and statuses (#23400)
• Declarative installer specs (declareInstallers) and a per-mod health-check API (registerHealthCheck) for game extensions, plus generative extension testing; game-xrebirth normalised onto the new infrastructure (#23074)

Changed

• React error-boundary render errors are now captured, deduplicated, and reported instead of being silently swallowed (#23492)
• Reworked the Button component to a brand × appearance prop model (a bare <Button> is unchanged) (#23487)
• Updated libloot group/relationship data to v0.29 (#23485)
• Upgraded Electron from 42.0.0 to 42.3.3 (#23422)
• Refactored shared UI primitives, added Image and PremiumBadge components, and switched element/form stylesheets to named --radius-* tokens (#23365)
• Replaced the native node-icon-extract C++ addon with a pure-TypeScript icon-extract package (sharing a new pe-resources parser), removing the app.getFileIcon() IPC hop (#23246)
• Renamed the vortex-api package to @nexusmods/vortex-api in preparation for npm publishing; extension require shims accept both names (#23237)

Fixed

• Free-user manual and collection downloads timing out while waiting for the user to download each file (#23505)
• Downloads page crashing with "Failed to render" (#23493)
• Splash screen cropping incorrectly since 2.1 (Electron 42 frameless-window sizing regression) (#23491)
• SkyrimVR and other compatibleDownloads games installing to the wrong game's staging folder (#23489)
• Large downloads failing once the whole request exceeded the hard got request timeout; the request-duration cap was removed in favour of existing per-chunk timeouts and retries (#23482)
• Extension auto-update failing every launch due to a download-state race; the fix self-heals for affected users (#23458)
• Game store detection on Linux (#23449)
• Mods losing metadata or splitting from their archive on close/relaunch, reappearing as metadata-less duplicates (#23437)
• Mod variant lost when reinstalling over an older version (#23323)
• Long text not wrapping in the mod changelog popover and table column filter dropdowns (#23286)
• Dashboard dashlets (Go Premium, Issues, Latest Mods) not re-rendering when their underlying state changed (#23282)
• Startup crash (#23281)
