Nexus manual file download results in %20 in the file name on Edge Browser

[Koinonos]

Hello Nexus forums, I wish to make you aware of a bug that I have found. If I save a file (say a Fallout 4 mod file) and choose manual download it in the Microsoft Edge browser it will insert %20 into every space (the unicode equivalent of space I think?) into the file. So a file that is named Fallout Example Mod.zip will come out as Fallout%20Example%20Mod.zip when you attempt to save it.

 

 

• I can reproduce this on multiple Windows 10 desktops so it is not an error from a specific machine.
• This error does not occur if you use Google Chrome as a browser, this is a specific error to do with Nexusmods.com
• This error is not specific to a specific file, but will occur downloading *any* file manually off of Nexusmods.com. I have tried random Fallout 4 mods, Skyrim SE mods, and Fallout New Vegas mods and all download links can reproduce this at will using the Microsoft Edge version 1803 browser.

This should be an simple fix to implement so that normal spaces will be in the file name when downloading a mod from Nexusmods.com.

 

Here is a example Nexus Mod link that can reproduce this at will:

Seems to be a bug in Microsoft Edge:

Thank you for the update Pickysaurus. Windows 10 v1809 is just around the corner (October 9th) so I will install that cumulative update as the solution to this problem.

Just be aware that update may be delayed due to a pretty critical issue.
