Not sure if I interrupted it while patching or something, but it launches an older version eve, which is odd because the old launcher works fine, and they're both pulling from the same file location right?

HALP!

check that your "shared cache folder" is the same on old and new launcher

I notice the EXEFILE being launched by new launcher is there (in a TQ folder)

if you were'nt using the old launcher for updates, or something strange with copies of the games for sisi/TQ, maybe the settings is not the right one


apparently beta launcher is coping 180MB when it first launches, this is the copy of the old eve binaries folder minus launcher

so I'd guess :
launch the old launcher, make sure of the shared folder path
close it
open new launcher, check shared path, set it right if necessary, close launcher
go in the shared folder path, delete TQ
open new laucher, it copies files (just did it to test, it works, the re-copy I mean)
