Somehow i can't install Everest anymore. When I try to download it, Olympus just say: "Preparing installation of Everest" and "Deleting previous backup".

thinkeline upload log-sharp.txt

should be on the left side of the main olympus menu

bitter furnace
#

yep

#

I tried to install it with everest installer and still nothing

keen hornet
#

is celeste closed while you're trying to install everest?

bitter furnace
#

yes

keen hornet
#

hmm, make sure you have write permissions for Celeste.exe then

keen hornet
#

rightclick > Properties > Security

#

there's a little table at the bottom, Write should be ticked

bitter furnace
#

it doesn't work either

keen hornet
#

what doesn't work?

bitter furnace
#

i wrote permissions and it doesn't work

keen hornet
#

hmm, can you click the Advanced button in that window and make sure you're the owner of the file?

bitter furnace
#

yes

#

maybe cuz i'm in Russia lol

keen hornet
#

that shouldn't affect anything

#

try restarting your PC

bitter furnace
#

still the same...

#

<@&673391557939953684> did we ever figure out how to deal with the file permissions issue?

bitter furnace
#

this happened, when i reinstalled celeste after critical error

keen hornet
#

have you tried verifying game files on steam?

bitter furnace
#

I tried to do it and it doesn't matter

#

i mean, verified or not, steam or non-steam, it doesn't work anyway

bitter furnace
#

well, i tried to install everest to Celeste/orig and it semi-installed

keen hornet
#

what does semi-installed mean?

#

can you delete the orig folder, verify game files, then try again?

lavish scarab
#

I assume it successfully installed onto the orig file, which breaks the whole point of having the orig folder exist

bitter furnace
#

ah yes, i deleted orig folder and i was installing everest, but it was infinitely "creating Mods Directory"

#

I read log-sharp and it says that "Celeste not read-writeable - waiting"

#

What should I do?

# bitter furnace What should I do?

try verifying the game files to get a clean celeste install, or just reinstall it (the first option's quicker i think)
then reinstall everest, and don't delete orig

keen hornet
#

tbh if file permissions are fucked, a clean reinstall might be more likely to fix it than verifying

bitter furnace
#

oh, i forgot about a "read-only" tick in folder properties
