Issue with a symlink on an old computer caused it to stop working.
Issue with a symlink on an old computer caused it to stop working.
My old setup failed too, so my Skyrim copy on GithubVersion is now on a new machine. I put the new HDD in but the drive letter changed, breaking all symlinks. You need a simple batch solution to fix or recreate those links. Follow these steps:
1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Navigate to the Skyrim directory:
```
cd J:\Spiele\GOG Galaxy\Skyrim Anniversary Edition
```
3. Run this command to rebuild symlinks:
```
xcopy /Y /I "F:\Spiele\GOG Galaxy\Skyrim Anniversary Edition" /M "H:\Spiele\GOG Galaxy\Skyrim Anniversary Edition"
```
4. If you see hardlinks still working, use:
```
findstr /R "\\." /C:"H:\Spiele\GOG Galaxy\Skyrim Anniversary Edition"
```
Then copy-paste the path into a new symlink.
5. Test by opening the folder in File Explorer to confirm links are intact.
