By sargetao. NMM download links in MO 1.0.12 (still) don't work.

Originally Nexus user sargetao posted this in the Nexus MO forum. So that this discussion will not get buried on the nexus forums I created the question here and will respond to it here.

I'm still having problems downloading directly from NMM links. Everything is configured correctly on "Workarounds"

I installed 1.0.11, then MO asked to update to 1.0.12, and I did. Would that be the problem?

What exactly do you mean with: Everything is configured correctly on "Workarounds"?

 

It looks as if the NXM-handler isn't (correctly setup). From the MO wiki section toolbar: The globe button has a subtext of "Search nexus network for more mods" and can be used to launch your web browser to the Nexus homepage of the game being managed. In addition to this function, it also sets up MO to download mods for your game via the "Download with Manager" buttons.

 

In MO 1.0.12 the following was fixed:

• bugfix: opening nexus through the globe icon used the incorrect nmm.nexusmods.com url
• bugfix: "visit on nexus" from the modinfo dialog also lead to the wrong url

So I don't think upgrading to MO 1.0.12 is causing your problems. Please select the globe button to setup the NXM links and try again. Also of interest is the following thread "You Can Now Open NXM Files Using Multiple Programs".

I think I might know what's causing the problem, thanks to the "You Can Now Open NXM Files Using Multiple Programs" thread.

 

I was having the same problem as sargetao. I previously had OBO installed (with nexus links working) before uninstalling it to try out both NMM and OBMM instead. I then switched back to OBO only to find the nexus links not working.

 

That thread you linked to mentioned the nxmhandler.exe. I looked at it, and it turns out that the primary handler was still set to my original OBO installation (I had installed it into a previous place). So I clicked "register active", and now nexus links work perfectly.
