Stuck at Calculating Time Remaining

[PJ]

So I used to play Tera before it was added to Steam. When I saw it was added to Steam I figured I would give it another whirl. Went to fire up the launcher from my non-steam install... same ol' same ol', it was throwing errors at me.. I just didn't want to deal with it, so I deleted that installation.

Reinstalled through Steam. Opened the launcher... now it's stuck at Calculating Time Remaining. Sits at 0%. I have lots of memories of wrestling with the launcher after every single update ever. Hoping there's a more simple solution this time because I'm not sure I want to go through all that again for an old game.

Also, when I try to close the launcher it gives me an error saying it is unable to load the downloader.dll or patcher.dll file - both of these files are in the tera folder.

Things I have tried:

- Reinstalling the game.
- Clearing out the AppData folder (it never had anything in it)
- Deleting Live2-Launcher, Live-New-Launcher, and EN.version
- Opening the launcher from the folder instead of through steam
- Running launcher as administrator

I have the exact same error, and I've seen multiple threads on this, but no answer from anyone.

Maybe download those files and put it in the launcher? I don't have this issue atm, but maybe this works?

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately it didn't solve the issue for me :(

I posted this in another thread as well:

I may have found the problem (or better; a potential solution)!

I have reinstalled the game about 3 times, and I've tried many different things. The only thing I did different now, that makes it seem to work, is I installed it on my C drive, instead of my D partition.

The launcher may be broken in the way that you need to install the game on the same partition as the AppData folder is located (which is in C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Appdata\Local\TERA).

This worked for me as far as the "Calculating blah 0%" error is concerned.

This fixed it for me. Don't like that I have to put this big fat game on my C drive >:(

Happy to hear you got it working! It's not great having to put it on C because I always keep it very small and only install essentials on it.

[Amity Blight~]

Well, I only have the C:Drive, and by default it installed it there, but I still have the error, can anyone help?

@ZippyMaGoo, i see you're in-game now, could you help me out how you did it. Your story exactly applies to my experience.

- Reinstalling the game.
- Clearing out the AppData folder (it never had anything in it)
- Deleting Live2-Launcher, Live-New-Launcher, and EN.version
- Opening the launcher from the folder instead of through steam
- Running launcher as administrator

i also did:

- close all antivirusses (worked in the non steam version/eu) now doesnt work on either versions
- run it through cmd to tera-launcher .exe
- made sure the folder was read only OFF
- Tera is installed on my c:drive by default


So with installing it on your c: drive, does that mean: c:\Tera folder or can you install it deeper into the c: drive? : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\TERA for example??

i'm kinda desperate here and want to make Tera my new main mmo to go to (after 8 years of good wow times)

I made a folder in C:\ called TERA. I then went to install TERA via Steam and chose C:\TERA as my install directory. That's ALL I changed, nothing more, nothing less.

What steam then automatically did was add a steam.dll file and steamapps folder. Basically the same as any other Steam-games directory, but with just TERA in it. Hope this helps!

But how do you chance the path to that game in the first place so steam recognizes it?

Also iv seen some post about file replacement and adding to make it work, but i need; C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Local\TERA\launcher for that .... i dont even have a folder that is called AppData ..... sigh


update:

I copied the TERA folder to c:\ but i have the same issue 'calculating time remaning' (note: i launched it from the file itself not via steam since i dont know how to chance the path)
