Minor (unexpected behavior)

In battle-server-manager\resources\config.age2.toml I cannot use a relative path for [Executable.Path]; only an absolute path works.

• ..\\..\\BattleServer\\BattleServer.exe

Reproducibility

Always

Expected behavior

It should allow relative paths.

Hello @DBLouis :

All paths configurable in the binaries allow relative path but relative to the executable, they don't take into account your working directory or the executable invoking it, in this case, it is relative to battle-server-manager.exe. This is made to avoid issues when an executable internally needs to run another one. Please try again with this in mind ;)
