To Reproduce

  1. Open Vortex
  2. See warning messages in log

Expected behavior
These messages are probably not necessary. I'm guessing some manifest just needs an update?

Platform (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11 24H2
  • Vortex Version 1.14.0-BETA2 (also observed in 1.13.7)

Additional context
Removing these logs could help Vortex start up a bit faster.
