Exception Report

The installation of Sonic Adventure DX was moved from the D drive to the E drive. Despite modifying the config at E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure DX\mods\.modloader\profiles\Default.json the mod loader still looks for the D drive and thus crashes immediately.

You edited the wrong config. The manager uses a settings file in %LOCALAPPDATA%/SAManager/ or a local folder to the manager's executable named SAManager. There is a json file in the root that contains all of the Manager's settings including where games are installed. You can fix the path there and everything will work as intended after.

Odd thing though, this issue should have been resolved a bit ago. Leaving this open until we can do some testing.
