Fixed Internally Launcher Play button broken after today's update (June 28th)

My launcher now says loading 1024 M assets and goes right into loading 27444 M assets. Progress. Still verifies my files though despite something expecting stuff on a nonexistent G:\.

I'm considering reinstall, but it sounds like taking the nuclear option. And like there is a good chance it will be a lengthy headache for naught.

Still have a window crashing out about 30s after hitting Play, or multiple opening attempts crashing on the "<verify> G:\live\eq2\game\Client\src\ClientApp.cpp (4100): Failed to open streaming asset database. OpenResult = -5" error. Opening multiple instances of launcher as admin gets me several play tabs of which about 3/4 remember that I saved my login, but they all become grey out Playing when I hit Play on one and that one window crashes.

Externallogging file says this over and over.

Still confused that I am getting window crash errors for G when it knows this should all be on P. Considering putting the file it wants in a mock directory on a thumb drive in the G:\ port and seeing if it actually goes. I'm going to see if I can put those sites in the firewall too, since it likes to say it's down and not really be.

Hope this helps a bit.

I am quite bummed about this issue because I'm missing the Scorched Earth event.

Happy Fire Day! Huzzah if you are getting in!

You're misinterpreting that error message; the G: drive it's referring to is the drive where the source code file is found on Darkpaw's build system. It's not referring to a (non-existent) drive on your computer. Technically what you're seeing is a C++ assert, a message that's shown when something has gone sideways that normally should never happen. Completely understandable why this could be confusing, just didn't want you to waste time trying to troubleshoot it by setting up a G: drive and whatnot.

If you're getting "Failed to open streaming asset database" there might be an issue / corruption with your streaming asset cache. You can try renaming / removing the folder "assetcache" to see if it will start up.
