📋 About This Mod

This extension adds Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader modding support to Vortex Mod Manager.

This extension will automatically download and install the MicroPatches mod. This is required to fix bugs in the game's built-in mod manager. You will also receive notifications when new versions are available to download.

Includes Load Order support for Owlcat mods! Mod names are written to the "OwlcatModificationManagerSettings.json" file automatically!

✅ Supported Versions:

  • []Steam[/]

    []GOG[/]

    []Xbox (Game Pass) - Note that Portrait mods don't work on the Xbox version[/]

    []Epic - should work, but not tested[/]

    []Other versions may need to select the game folder manually.[/]

    🛠️ Mod Installation Notes:

    • []All mods are installed within "%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 40000 Rogue Trader" and its subfolders.[/]

      []Installs Owlcat mods with "OwlcatModificationManifest.json" file and "Assemblies/BluePrints/Bundles/Localization" folders to individual subfolders in "...\Modifications".
