I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.
Describe the Bug
When installing ShadPS4 into a directory or path with a character containing an accent (like "É"), the path has to be re-added every time ShadPS4 is being launched.
The main reason is that it replaces the character with an accent by multiple symbols, corrupting the path and therefore not listing games anymore.
Add a Directory to Install Game Path containing a symbol with an accent, like "É"
Close ShadPS4
Re-open ShadPS4
Check the the Directory to Install Game Path again and see the symbols
Games are not listed anymore until re-adding the path with the right character again
Expected Behavior
Directory to Install Game Path remains the same everytime ShadPS4 is open, no matter the name of the folders
Specify OS Version
Windows 11

I am currently investigating the cause of the problem and can already conclude that it is not due to the saving of the path in the configuration file. In the config.toml file, the path is correctly stored with the accents. Therefore, it is probably the in-memory loading of the string that is causing the issue.
After reopen ShadPS4 :
The string in config.toml file :
If I use a debugger, this is what I get: the string loaded in memory doesn't handle the accents. It would be interesting to see if it's the same on Linux. (src/common/config.cpp)
