[Game Crash] Crash on Windows when attempting to run from a network location #621

Describe the crash

When trying to run the game from a network location, it opens an invisible window for a few seconds before crashing.

How can you reproduce the error?

  1. Copy the game onto a network location (such as \\nas\games\OutFox)
  2. Navigate to that folder and run Program\OutFox.exe

Additional Information

OS: Windows 11 22H2

One interesting quirk that may be useful to know: the game re-creates a set of folders that duplicates its path in the network drive. In my case, for example, I tried to run it from \\nas\Games\StepMania stuff\OutFox 0.4.18 LTS Win64. After the crash, a set of new folders were created as \\nas\Games\StepMania stuff\OutFox 0.4.18 LTS Win64\nas\Games\StepMania stuff\OutFox 0.4.18 LTS Win64.

A workaround is to map the network location to a drive letter. It works exactly as expected, and I have been doing this for years with no issue. I just got bored curious about whether it could handle being run like this too. So while this is technically a crash, this could also double as a bug report and/or feature request for supporting UNC paths.
