UNC paths are not supported
Trying to run DCE-frontend from my NAS (with "\myNAS\Main\Discord-Backups\dcef.exe") causes the errors below. I figured I could fix this issue by mapping my network drive to a local drive letter, but even after doing so and running "Z:\Discord-Backups\dcef.exe" the program defaults to using the network path and fails with the same errors.
I'm assuming from the logs that it's supposed to use the Windows directory after failing with the UNC path, but that does not work.
How can I force nginx/mongodb/fastapi/preprocess etc to run using the Windows directory?

I have the same problem with my NAS on windows 10 or 11 and use a network drive letter. it shows me at times the last working locally stored discord server. which can be a total different one from the server i wanted to look at on the network drive. and it only shows a single channel of that server and not it dozens of channels and threads.
