Can not get into game. Error: Gshade symbolic links are corrupted.

Update disclaimer

• [X] Yes, I have checked and my issue is not related to the game updating and plugins not working correctly.

What did you do?

Tried to uninstall Gshade. Cleared what I could find and started xivlauncher. I am getting an error and try to repair it but repairing does not work either. Error message says "The game cannot start. Do you want XIVLauncher to fix this? You will need to reinstall Gshade." I do not wish to reinstall gshade.
