Cannot install mod because my Windows username has an "é" in it

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build 101.101.34223.0 4509956
  • Steam

Issue:

I cannot install mods through the in-game installer. When I subscribe to one, my mod list updates, but there is a red exclamation mark in front of the mod instead of the box that I can tick.
Apparently it’s because the mod installer doesn’t like my name, and cannot find its way to actually install the mod. Hence why the “open directory” button doesn’t work either. When I go look in the mods folder, it appears a folder for said mod was created. But the only thing in it is the “info.json” file.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Create a windows account with a special character in the name
  2. Try to install a mod on said account
