Elder Scrolls Online ( Epic version)

Hi all , I was having an issue where I could not start the launcher , this is now fixed thanks to the group. However the next problem seems to be the following message when trying to start the installation process.

I am presented the the following error message :-

"The selected installation path is not Writeable! Please update the permissions of the selected path"

I am sure this is simple , but not sure how to do this in wine?

the message appears only if you didn't give proper permissions to the location you are trying to access

radical-lime•11/12/23, 11:51 AM

so, use flatseal to add proper permissions in other paths section

Assign propper permissions to whom? not sure I understand the account that heroic is running under (mine) has access to the folder and can do what I need to, is there a context I am missing?

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:08 PM

but you installed the heroic as flatpak right?

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:08 PM

which is running in the container with limited access

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 3:10 PM

no , Linux Mint , installed it with the debian package manger years ago

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:10 PM

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 3:11 PM

to be clear the launcher opens its when i press install inside the launcher i get the issue

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 3:14 PM

The elederscolles launcher that is , lol this could get confusing haha

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:15 PM

ah I see, the solution is simple then

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:15 PM

you need to add a new drive in winecfg

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:15 PM

so that the root of it is in the location that's writeable by you

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:16 PM

by default it's only Z:\ which mounts to /

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 3:17 PM

ok , so i cant see way of chaging the install patch in the launcher , I will add a drive though see if it makes a difference as you say im sure this has to be simple.

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 3:17 PM

i will let you know thanks for taking time toi help

radical-lime•11/12/23, 3:17 PM

the ESO launcher should give you a way to select the path

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 3:17 PM

yeah it deosnt seem to have an option , i will see if it has launch options or soemthing

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 4:16 PM

right so no further but i have tired the following 1, move z drive mount poiint to game folder, crashes , 2 add a new drive to the same fodler crachses. 3. add a new drive to a different folder, runs but I cant change the install path in the launcher .. i will keep looking to help others if they come across the thread .. not sure what to try next i saw something about an environemnt variable to map an s drive to the game folder , this makes no difference

uncertain-scarletOP•11/12/23, 8:50 PM

it does have launch options BTW but crashes when i use them lol I am determined to get this going
