I don't have the extension set up for Xbox yet. Could you follow the guide at the link below to let me know the information I need? I will have to make a separate version of the extension for Xbox version due to some technical limitations I have not been able to solve yet.
Yes, that's what I need. I will make another version for Xbox for now until I can figure out the folder re-naming to bring them all into a single extension.
Normally, when you download a Nexus extension for a game, it automatically detects the files and configures itself but here, it asks me to select the file manually and when it opens the explorer the prey.exe file does not appear
Does anyone know the Epic Games ID for Prey 2017? If I can get this it will help with automatically finding the installation folder for Epic users. It is almost impossible to find unless you actually own and install the Epic version of the game. Here is a link with instructions on where to find the ID.
I also need to determine what the folder structure to the game executable looks like for the Epic version. Is it the same as Steam?
Dont know if you still need this info but if im seeing correctly the epic folder structure is "E:\Games\PREY\Binaries\Danielle\x64-Epic\Release" and here is the AppName from that file if thats the ID you needed "AppName": "52d88e9a6df248da913c8e99f1e4c526"
Yes! That is what I needed. Thank you! Sounds like I may need to make a version for the Epic Games store as well. Eventually, I can probably find a way to get all versions in a single extension with some kind of logic to change the folder names for the executables. They are unfortunately different for Steam, GOG, and Epic (x64, x64-GOG, and x64-Epic, respectively).
Would you be willing to test a new version of the extension to set the folder for each game store type? If this works, I can support all 3 game stores in one file. I only own the game on Steam, so I can't test it locally on my PC.
If you are able, I will DM you the extension zip and you can install it to Vortex and see if it discovers your game correctly.
Thanks for setting this up. I did have to change the install location in the index.js file for this extension to get it to accept my GOG version of the game, but it was a simple change. For anyone else with a non-Steam copy, you can go to your Vortex folder under "%AppData%/Roaming/Vortex/plugins/Vortex Extension Update - Prey (2017) Vortex Extension v0.1.0/index.js" and change the required folder structure to match what your own game installation uses; in my case, it was changing the x64 folder to x64-GOG.
I have the Epic Games version of Prey 2017, I cannot use your extension because no matter what folder I select, it says the game cannot be found. I am unsure what to do next.
Which folder are you selecting when prompted after managing the game? The game folder should have a "Binaries" folder in it. The extension is looking for the .exe in this location: "[GAME_FOLDER]\Binaries\Danielle\x64\Release\Prey.exe". Does that match the folder structure for your Epic version?
Thank you for your contribution to Vortex. Just wanted to let you know that we added your extension to Vortex's manifest and it should be available within Vortex itself in a couple of minutes.

I have the files when I look with the file explorer but when I go through vortex to select the folder with the .exe, it is not displayed
I need the 2 lines that look like this example:
<Identity Name="VersusEvil.PillarsofEternity2-PC" Publisher="CN=AC6C8E65-87DD-4311-AFEA-997EC62C606E" Version="1.0.21.0" ProcessorArchitecture="x64" />
<Application Id="App" Executable="PillarsOfEternity2.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">

<Identity Name="BethesdaSoftworks.LiluDallas-Multipass" Publisher="CN=21E520D9-F467-4438-A16E-79ADDBE4ECB1" Version="1.13.5.0" ProcessorArchitecture="x64" />
<Application Id="App" Executable="Binaries\Danielle\Gaming.Desktop.x64\Release\Prey.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">
Is it what you need??
Thank you for the helpful info!
You are trying to select the game folder? You need to select the folder that contains the "Binaries" folder inside it.
I also need to determine what the folder structure to the game executable looks like for the Epic version. Is it the same as Steam?
Steam: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Prey\\Binaries\\Danielle\\x64\\Release"
GOG: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GOG Galaxy\\Games\\Prey\\Binaries\\Danielle\\x64-GOG\\Release"
