I'm trying to get this app called vortex to find and recognize a game (Batman Arkham Asylum) so I can mod it but it can't find it. I created an extension file in the appdata/roaming/vortex folder but every time I tried to add it it says "info.json is missing". It's not missing because it's there and I made it. I copied and pasted the all the commands and lines from the website including the directory to tell vortex where to find it but it still can't locate the game. When I boot up vortex it automatically searches and loads any and all extensions, when it does that no error occurs but it also doesn't seem to recognize it. But when I try to add it manually the error occurs. Here's what the error says:
Error: not an extension, info.json missing

Here's the info.json:

}
Can anyone help?
