[BUG] UniGetUI tried to update a non-existant update, delete the entire software instead #4526
Description
Please confirm these before moving forward
- I have searched for my issue and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- I have tested that this issue has not been fixed in the latest (beta or stable) release.
- I have checked the FAQ section for solutions.
- This issue is about a bug (if it is not, please use the correct template).
UniGetUI Version
3.3.7
Windows version, edition, and architecture
Windows 11 Pro 25H2 1000.26100.300.0
Describe your issue
This occurs only with a game called "Nikke: Goddess of Victory" AFAIK. It will show an update is available to the launcher, from version null to version xxx despite having no actual update once manually checked. It will run the game's update launcher, but it will be stuck at 0% until manually closed. Then, it will show "Update completed" in UniGetUI, but actually have deleted the entire folder of the game instead. This is not a normal behaviour if you manually update the launcher.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Have the game downloaded before opening UniGetUI, unsure if you need only the launcher or the whole game itself.
- UniGetUI will show an update to the launcher, trying to update will cause this.
