As I was online and saw that this wasn't added to the manifest yet, I triggered the job myself. Apologies if this is jumping the gun, I'm just excited to start modding this game with Vortex :)

Been testing against Xbox Game Pass version, and it appears that the directories differ from the Steam version.

Surprised this was just allowed through without the normal checks.

This is where UE4SS needs injecting to:
E:\Games\Subnautica 2\Content\Subnautica2\Binaries\WinGDK

Right now it's trying here:
E:\Games\Subnautica2\Binaries\WinGDK

Subnautica2.exe for Xbox platform is located here: E:\Games\Subnautica 2\Content

The location needs to be set to E:\Games\Subnautica2\Content\Subnautica2 but because of the lack of Subnautica2.exe it wont work. I am also unable to copy Subnautica2.exe into this directory because Windows lock their directories down to the point I can't take ownership of some files.

Edit: added E:\Games\ to make it clear the root (Xbox version creating 2 subnautica2 folders has made this confusing).

You selected the wrong folder. This extension does not have discovery for the Xbox version, for some reason. You have to go into the first Content folder where Subnautica2 folder is and select that as install directory.

I've been trying that, it doesn't save the directory. Then tells me to select the folder where Subnautica2.exe is, that's the only one it'll accept. But then none of the folder mapping matches.

that executable is there.

that executable is there.

I think you need to re-read my original comment. My workspace is already set to that location, and it maps to the wrong file paths which I have already explained. It creates a content and binaries folder next to Subnautica2.exe incorrectly.

The actual path needs to be set to the nested Subnautica2 folder that's in your screenshot which I explained earlier.
