@tawdry sparrow I talked with my other friend and he mentioned something about a relinker thing

Idk

[tawdry sparrow]

can you clean out your temp folder maybe

click the start menu and search "cleanup"

you should get a disk cleanup utility

[spice iron]

yeah i did that and its still doing it

could it be something with the everest folder?

idk

[tawdry sparrow]

don't think so

only other suspicion is an antivirus?

an overzealous one at that

[spice iron]

nah

maybe uninstall everything?

[tawdry sparrow]

if you're on windows 10, you have windows defender

[spice iron]

oh

idk if i should turn it off

sorry about this issue idk it just kinda started haappening

[tawdry sparrow]

im not sure what the issue is either, but imo everest could handle this more gracefully

[spice iron]

yeah

but i mean

uninstalling everything could work but idk

[tawdry sparrow]

i don't think it will

[spice iron]

ok

i tried looking online

but like there's nothing

any other ideas?

[spice iron]

@tawdry sparrow i did some snooping around and then this popped up

[tawdry sparrow]

what everest version are you installing

[spice iron]

the latest one that is stable

As of the Everest Core update, Everest tries to create symlinks in order to share these two folders between the vanilla and modded installs of the game:

• Saves, to sync save data between vanilla and modded
• Content, to avoid making a duplicate of all the game assets and save about 1 GB of storage space
  However, creating a symlink requires admin privileges on Windows. Installing Everest will still work if you choose not to give admin privileges, but you won't get the benefits listed above.

Creating the symlink can also fail on external drives that use non-NTFS filesystems (such as some flash drives). Installing Everest 4482 or later will still work on these filesystems, but data will not be shared between vanilla and modded. If this is an issue, moving your Celeste install to the C drive should fix it.

[spice iron]

ok

the same thing happened with the same error log

so iddk

is there like any other person who can solve this?
