    Default info.json is missing

    ***Forewarning I'm a complete noob in programming (like the noobiest noob that's ever noobed). The only experience I have is in Qbasic during high school so if my question doesn't make sense or is incomplete please explain in the most layman of terms what you need to know***

    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:

    {
    "name": "Game: Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY",
    "author": "Pickysaurus",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "description": "Support for Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY"
    }

    Can anyone help?

    This does not look like a java programming problem.

    What language is it written in?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
