Echoes Of Aincrad

Description

Vortex game extension for Echoes of Aincrad.

It discovers the Steam install, installs/deploys the usual mod types for this game (UE4SS, Lua, shared libs, LogicMods, asset PAKs, bitfix, etc.), and keeps UE4SS Lua load order in sync through Vortex Load Order → mods.txt.
