If you click on “More” you will be provided with more information as to which plugins are affected by cyclic rules to help you resolve the issue. However, at times LOOT will be unable to do that resulting in the same 'cyclic rules' error.Īs the internal LOOT sorting system Vortex employs is free of cyclic rules, this only occurs with rules you set up yourself. In general, LOOT utilises elaborate rules to ensure a conflict-free setup and will at times even ignore conflicting group rules to achieve that end. Note: This is an example of two cyclic rules that will prompt Vortex to output an error message.Īlternatively, group-specific rules can be the cause as well.
This can also be caused by cyclic rules regarding plugin master/slave relationships. For instance, if you set plugin A to load after plugin B and plugin B to load after plugin A, the two rules contradict each other and Vortex will be unable to sort your plugin list and instead put out the error message “Plugins not sorted because of cyclic rules”. This indicates that one or several of your custom plugin rules are contradictory.
