### \[FIX] Installation Path & Environment Handling

{% hint style="success" %}
**MAJOR FIX:** Fixed critical installation path detection and environment handling issues!
{% endhint %}

**What Changed:**

* **Fixed Installation Path Detection** - Resolved issues where launcher couldn't detect installed games correctly
* **Environment Subdirectory Handling** - Environment folders (production/staging) now properly appended to all paths
* **Prevented Environment Switching** - Users can no longer change environments during downloads or patching
* **Game Switch Prevention** - Users can't switch to another game while installing or patching a game
* **Smart Environment Selector** - Automatically disabled during active operations
* **Better Error Logging** - Enhanced concurrent access error detection

**Impact:**

Games are now correctly installed in environment-specific folders, the launcher accurately detects installations across environments, and users can't accidentally corrupt installations by switching environments or games mid-operation.
