Search/unpack CTD when using symlinks/junctions
spartandestroyr opened this issue · 5 comments
This just started recently but any time I try to search or unpack game files the app crashes. It was working a last week but since day before yesterday 5/3/2024 this crash has started to happen and continues to happen even after deleting everything and redownloading it
Without the crash log file, I can't do anything to help. I need to be able to reproduce the issue, which I can't.
My apologies, but I figured it out it was an issue with symlinks I'll provide the crash log anyway for the record.

If you can provide more information on how you set up your symlinks, it would be very helpful for me to help reproduce and fix the issue.
To replicate the issue:
I was following the create a SE mod example of:
mklink /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods" "C:\Users\YourUsername\path\to\YourModName\Mods"
With symlink starting indexing would result just in the console message saying its starting but nothing would happen.
Realising a thing I did differently was creating the symlink I deleted the symlink folder so in this case the Mods folder in the game directory and then it let me index the files again.
