  • Anyone running Melee in a symbolic link?

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Wed Jan 14 15:39:00 2026
    Anyone running Melee 3.52 in a Symbolic Link? The maintenance breaks the
    root directory entirely for me. I could put it in a separate physical directory, but I've got my whole BBS behind a symlink. Any input?

    No idea what that (Melee) is, or how to fix it, but... why use symlinks
    in that manner?

    I'm running Windows 10 32 bit on an HP elitedesk 800 g3 and was unable to
    boot to the nvme drive. I've got the bbs on the nvme drive, but the link on the sata drive (as all of the setups and batch files, etc. refer to c:\ele as the bbs directory and it would have taken an inordinate amount of effort (and even then I probably would have missed something) to change all of the references).

    Melee 3.52 is a combat action door game that is very popular and very difficult.
