big thx M8!!
I bought the game too and cant install because my windows is also on a smaller sdd 
I will try with the temp path idea, but that is not what i expected. Maybe you write this problem -installation only in c possible- in your contract before you sell your game to the peopleā¦
I am sorry for your inconvinience but believe me whan I say that this issue was not intentional.
We all hope that this (and many others) bug will get fixed asap.
Oh thank you for the good support.
I dont mind, i have time, wait for the fix or try to change the path for the windows tempoary files.
I was only sad, because your game developing looks really good and great and i must try as soon as possible, if your first beta runs also with
Oculus DK 2 and Vorpx!!!
Normaly cry engine is working with vorpx without problems.
And if its so, i can enjoy your beta developement steps in absolut awesome VR!!!
But: Pls. dont forget the native support after release.
If Vorpx is working with your beta, i will post it in all vr comunities i am member in!
Good luck for your Development and the Game!
God I wish they have the fix soon cuz I have been waiting for sooooooooooooooo long
Nothing got saved on my C: drive. I told it to install on my D: and it did exactly that. Maybe I am just lucky 
I donāt know why this has still not been addressed. I finally had time to try this out, so I decided to fix this problem myself.
Steps:
-
- Create a directory that will act as a temp storage for the installer
-
- Place the launcher.exe in this new directory
-
- Create a new .bat file (batch file) in this directory, and place the contents of the below text into the .bat file
-
- Right click the .bat file in explorer and run as admin
-
- Wait for the black command prompt window to close. Do not log in if the command prompt window is visible anywhere.
-
- After the command prompt window has closed, you can use the launcher window to log in and start downloading
Tips:
- You can close the launcher window and run the batch file at a later time
- The launcher will not redownload everything, it will resume close to where it was interrupted
- This solution does not use any custom exe files or any such thing, it only uses the official launcher
Contents of .bat file:
@setlocal enableextensions
@cd /d "%~dp0"
@echo off
if not exist temp mkdir temp
echo Setting Environment Variables
set TEMP=.\temp
set TMP=.\temp
IF NOT EXIST GameLauncher.exe (
echo Grabbing GameLauncher.exe
start "" launcher.exe
timeout /t 5 /nobreak
copy /y temp\GameLauncher.exe .
timeout /t 5 /nobreak
copy /y temp\GameLauncher.exe .
taskkill /IM GameLauncher.exe
taskkill /IM launcher.exe
)
IF NOT EXIST GameLauncher.exe (
echo Error: Could not find GameLauncher.exe
)ELSE (
echo Running GameLauncher.exe
start "" /d . GameLauncher.exe
)
It is possible to choose another system drive with the newest Launcher without this steps. Just download the newest Launcher version.
I downloaded the launcher from the link on the website 2hrs ago, and donāt see anywhere to specify a system drive. It does allow me to specify the installation target, but even if I select another drive, it will first download the game files to the current system drive before installing them to the target.
Is there a new place to download the launcher from?
Ahhā¦ okay, it is about the download. Yes, this is maybe different than the installation. Unfortuantely our Launcher designer is ill right now, we canĀ“t give specific information about the Launcher for this reason. Please be careful in what you are doing, you can break your installation.
The batch file is simple and completely open, I did not want to make any custom executables specifically to avoid any doubts about provenance.
The install process completes, sometimes with an error, but the resulting installed game works properly. It fails to create shortcuts, but I made this workaround specifically for people like me who could not even try this beta outā¦ since March
Did you opened a support ticket about the problem? I am asking my self why we didnĀ“t helped you and what went wrong with the support here. I am very sorry about this.
Please, donāt be sorry. I did not think to open a support ticket at the time because your team was clearly busy when the beta first launched. I can see from the number of posts here and the attached threads that only a few of us were affected by this.
Iām sure most of the people with this complaint have made space, but I couldnāt because my C: is a very small SSD. I was also expecting the game to download ~20gb because thatās what it was doing back then. But today it only downloaded some 6.5Gb.
Thereās a similar workaround posted in this thread about changing your TEMP directory, but I really dont like messing with my settings, so I made the batch file to provide the same solution, but on a temporary basis.
Okay. Thank you
