t-engine-launcher does not work

[Radon26]

i don't know how to "update" the game, so i decided to reinstall it.
after i deleted ell files i knew of, and downloaded the new launcher, (if you are lost, start from the beginning right?):
image attached.

also, the log goes like this

the error, more/less, translates to: The file name, the catalogue name or "syntax" of the volume is incorrect.
and I have no idea what to do with this. Its probably something I did wrong, but there is no "silly mistakes" to put it in.


Whole story (may or may not be related, but what do I know)
first, some time ago, someone told me that the game updated itself automatically, so I didn't tried to myself.
(I never, once, opened the game from the launcher, so I must have missed the "patch" button.)
When the "animus" skill tree didn't show up for my necromancer, I had my doubts about the self updating,
but there was still no need to update, and i had some characters that i did not wanted to be deleted.

After he died, I decided that its the time for an update, but didn't knew how to.
First, I needed to download new installer, and to make sure that the old files don't interfere with the installation,
I deleted every file that I knew of.

when I tried to download the thing, installer the first time (2 or 3 days ago) only a strange error popped on the current tab.
Another thing, i tried to get a new password, but the promised E-mail never came. (around the same time, may be resolved alredy)

try changing 'rafał' to 'rafal' (change 'Ł' to 'L' ) and try again

[Radon26]

its a user folder. its system-bound (or whatever the term) and it is impossible to change it, however, moving the thing to another folder worked.
"cannot find the ToME files" (cause as said earlier, deleted everything)
"download the newest version" in progress.
Now only if the launcher wasn't SO SLOW.

so, now that a problem has been identified, I think it should be noted somewhere
"file wont work, if the address contain non standards figures/letters". so that in the future, it will not take 3 days!

unpacking files:5/189 - 0.00%
Error: Access denied.

there is no log this time.
how do I get the "access granted"?

[Graziel]

most probably your antivirus doesnt like new dll files being unpacked 5th file is 'OpenAL32.dll'

as for checking if path is valid ill have to look into it : )

[Radon26]

I tried with anti virus and system firewall down, but it still stops at 5. Is it possible, that the file itself refuses the access?

[Graziel]

i doubt it, basicly what it does is copy command

if you have already downloaded ToME via launcher you can try to manually unpack it from - downloads folder - thats what launcher would normally do

[Radon26]

right, this is where it gets real weird. On my PC there is only one account my. technically, I am an Admin, but every time i do anything, it keeps questioning my rights, and as shown below, "extract to" is denied.

But if I "open" it, and drag the folder out it... it worked... that makes it even more weird... and the game runs...

rrriiiight, the main issue ha been resolved, and game is playable so there is no more need for any further answers...
but i would still appreciate if someone would explain why is it so... weired.

edit

Thx for your help , i wouldn't have done it without you.

edit

and it seems like the issue of the game constantly freezing, if its not Full screan has been dealt with in this version

PL: Wygląda na to, że masz z kompem niezły bajzel. Próbowałeś instalować poza Program Files?

[Graziel]

sometime ago ive had some antivirus that you could 'stop' but what it did was actually 'stop active scanning' it still scanned newly created files / downloaded so it might be something similar

as for freezes make another thread about it and when it freezes post content of 'te4_log.txt' there note that you will have to run it with '--flush-stdout' parameter(or set it via launcher option)

[Radon26]

well, about the freezes, after reinstall it doesn't happen anymore, so i am pretty sure it was the previous version
(1.1.4 I think? it had the oozemancer.), but if it happens again, I will make sure to make a post.
and once again, thx for all the help.
