problem with everest

[winged anvil]

whenever i try to update everest i get this thing. i tried downloading the thing and it didn't help. i am pretty clueless about all this stuff, so you may need to ELI5 on some of this

[hazy nimbus]

update everest via olympus instead of ingame

[winged anvil]

will do

i'll report back in a sec

[hazy nimbus]

(keep in mind you want the button to the right of the celeste button - the "options and updates" button is specifically for olympus updates)

[winged anvil]

i assume i want the green one?

[hazy nimbus]

ye

though if that doesn't work, try 4576 instead

[winged anvil]

trying now

the hell is this

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.

i don't know what 90% of that means

tl;dr click yes, unless you're paranoid about giving admin privileges then click no, it doesn't matter much

oooook

seems to have worked!
