EVE Launcher

After I type in my password and click play I get a window that is titled "could not write file". It gives some info and then asks me to make 1 of 3 choices: yes, retry or ignore.

Regardless of the choice I make I end up with a black screen instead of the character selection.

Has anyone seen this before? any idea how to fix it?

reinstall launcher wont work ?

are u guys using the "relese" or "dev" version .. what OS are u on would be useful info too .. w10 sometimes tends to not give stuff appropiate premissions when installing to C: ..

I got the same error message after migrating from old to new launcher like shown in the video. (I use Win10 Pro x64.)

I had to set the location for shared resources to the old location manually in the new launcher because it tried to download all files again to a new location inside the new installation folder.

Now i get the "could not write file" error or a validation error after clicking launch. It says i should run repair.exe in the installation folder, but there is no repair.exe ... The fix file permission tool also doesnt work. Restarting the lauchner doesnt help.

Looks like i have to download the entire game again. No EVE today ...

EDIT: The verfiy integrity of cache button was greyed out for like an hour, now its clickable. It seems the new EVE launcher was still doing something, although the progress bar at the bottom showed nothing. Its now verfying 72000 files ...

EDIT2: It worked. I can now launch EVE with the new launcher.

EDIT3: On my laptop it automatically picked the correct, old shared resource cache location, but i still get the same error messages. Verify integrity button is greyed out, but progress bar is full and says ready. I'll let it run for a while, lauchner is still doing something accoruding to task manager. Fix the progress bar CCP!

EDIT4: It works now on my laptop too. It seems like when you uninstall the old launcher (like shown in the video), the location for the shared resource folder changes from its old location to a new location inside the new launcher installation. Is this intended?

I had this previously and solution that actually worked in long term was to nuke EVE and let the new launcher download all new files with proper permissions. Seems that windows and new launcher don't like each other too much.

I tried redownloading everything to a different location and it still happens fairly frequently. Also the launcher crashes frequently and i'll end up with like 50 of those icons in the system tray lol.
