God damn prediction text keyboard. Mapped! (which this time was almost married.. fucken Gboard)
Oh I see, you had that directory on a share mounted on the system. That should have been abstracted away by the OS, especially if it was SMB. NFS or iSCSI would have been a bit more tricky, but as long as it was addressable through a drive letter I would have expected it to work.
I thought the same. Everything else worked, but for whatever reason, only GOG didn't. I actually still have the photo saved from it. I find errors about it dating back at least 2009. At the time I was looking into it, I found it was a common thing from some example code. And it wasn't even new to GOG; the old installer had the same problem.
