# Breaking: #73611 - Removed ResourceCompressor relative path methods {#breaking-73611}

See [forge#73611](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73611)

## Description {#description}

The methods `ResourceCompressor::setInitialPaths()` and `ResourceCompressor::setRelativePath()` have been removed.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling one of the methods above will result in a fatal PHP error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any TYPO3 instance with custom extensions manually using the ResourceCompressor instead of using the PageRenderer API.

## Migration {#migration}

Simply remove the methods from the affected code, as these methods are not needed anymore. All calculations
for the paths are now done automatically.
