The error gained an extra line after I removed portable
, but other than that, the same issue occurred: my configurations got nuked, and built-in installer failed.
Strangely enough, my configurations seem to be completely tied to that portable
tag. I did a little experiment and manually installed the v7.4.0 update again then added portable
below nightly
in the modes folder, and lo and behold, I got my configurations back while being on the latest update.
There's still something wrong with the built-in installer and my settings being in disarray like a Jenga puzzle though. I just don't know how to diagnose it myself.

That was what I meant (I should have been clearer), removing portable fixes the issue with the settings not working on the manual update - the auto updater does not work as the 7TV did the release wrong.
Ahhh, so will future updates from the built-in installer continue to work as intended v7.4.0 onwards or will I have to remember to do a "zig-zag" by removing portable
, manually updating, then putting it back?
(Closed it before I could say "thanks"! Thanks for the help. <3)

I can't see the future so I'm unsure 😄 but likely the issue should not happen on future versions (🙏)
Checklist
Describe your issue
I can't seem to update from v7.3.5 to v7.4.0 through the built-in installer. This is the error I receive when I try, and it has been this way since v7.4.0's release. Whenever I manually update Chatterino7, I lose all of my configurations.
Strangely enough, this does not happen with Chatterino2 as its built-in installer functions as intended for me (successfully updated from v2.3.5 to v2.4.0 there) and my configurations persisted.
Is there a way to get the built-in installer to work or to manually update while keeping my configurations intact?
