Why?

You’ve known about this bug for over 3 years now. Why hasn’t it been fixed yet? And why isn’t there a clear workaround anywhere? What an absolute joke. You’ve got time to churn out DLC but can’t fix gamebreaking bugs that have plagued the game for over 3 years?

Any folder set to read-only?

Is there seriously nobody from the support and tech staff that can help me here? I tried emailing them and all they did is thank me for bringing it to their attention, and that they’ll sort it in the next patch. This is a fucking lie, because there’s been multiple patches since this bug has been a thing, and nobody has done anything about it.
