I may not be able to help much, but the error seems to imply you lack write (well, delete) permissions where you've installed it. Did you install it as a non-administrator or on an external drive?

[vast musk]

i mean i installed it on itch normally, you think i should check the permissions of the game ?

[sick gust]

no i guess it's alright if you didn't have any problems with the base game, it's probably better to wait on someone that understands what they're talking about

[vast musk]

now that i'm checking it's the same error log every time...

but like i can't even launch celeste

[restive trench]

maybe move the game to Applications if it's in downloads?

[vast musk]

now a catastrophic failure lmao

but there's like

nothing on the log.txt

i'm loosing it

lmao

I... Um... Think it's working

It's downloading some missing dependencies apparently

@tough spear could this be related to the issue I was having with the .net 7 version trying to write to the root dir?

Not sure if that specific code is in stable everest
