System.IO.DriveNotFoundException when trying to launch from another drive

[Bamowen]

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?

I installed and ran xivlauncher from flatpak, changed the Game Configuration Path in settings to my folder containing game and boot; which for me is "/media/bamowen/BIG CHUNGUS/SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn" as my OS SSD has no space for FFXIV and I already play on Windows (dual boot). I left the Game Configuration path to "/home/bamowen/.xlcore/ffxivConfig". I have mounted the drive before launcher xivLauncher

When I click login with my credentials, I have a popup that says "System.IO.DriveNotFoundException: Could not find the drive '/media/bamowen/BIG CHUNGUS/SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn'. The drive might not be ready or be mapped

I did not install wine, nor am I launching from steam. I just followed the installation steps specifically "Install XIVLauncher as a Flatpak from the terminal"

Attached are pics of the popup as I can't copy paste, and "generate tspack" only gives me a json (also attached) trouble.json

Here's a neofetch aswell:

Since you’re installing to a non-standard location, you need to grant XIVLauncher read/write permissions to that folder using Flatseal.

Thanks for the fast answer, I forgot to mention I did this. Didn't touch anything but Filesystem category. Here it is

[tommadness]

The ~ at the beginning of your Flatseal entry means it’s relative to your user’s home directory: /home/USERNAME/media/bamowen/ […]

The path you put into XIVLauncher is an absolute directory: /media/bamowen/ […]

These are not the same path.

Quite new to all this, I didn't even realise. I works now, thank you very much :)
