Copy link

So I ran into a dumb snag trying to get Metropolis Dawn working, relevant forum post here: https://forums.metropolisdawn.com/viewtopic.php?p=18636#p18636

I have to hard-copy the missing files into dataxp, just soft symlinking them doesn't work. I'm a bit confused, I've never run into a program in Linux that refuses to think a soft symlink isn't the file it's looking for...

Is this because of how UA_Source handles files on *NIX, especially in regards to the fact Windows is case-insensitive (and had no concept of symbolic links)?

I was hoping to symlink the files to avoid duplicating data and wasting space on my filesystem as a result of the copying.
