fs has strange problems when working under Electron in order to ensure asar compatibility.
Disabling asar compatibility (which makes Electron use original-fs) while copying the languages files fixed every issue: https://github.com/ItsSim/fsolauncher/commit/791c29f3f63ea144ae64f2a2e4f2df370a03cdd0#diff-438e1ca10ba9b1209b1e0fef72367725R828
This also fixes strange permission errors on Windows when updating FreeSO after having changed the language via the launcher: 38c1dd754082ac1501b558d8bbd734be04cfe41b
If you try to switch the game language from the launcher on OS X, an error will pop up. This has to do with how the language switching works: it copies the appropriate translations from the /export/ folder - which is included in the packaged .app file - to the FreeSO installation folder. Due to some strange permissions issue, the launcher is unable to find these files and copy them.
I have not had time to sort this one out and decided to publish the Mac version with this feature broken, as it is not important because translations are a bit wonky anyways (even though the translations in the launcher only include .str.piff and .cst, they are outdated/miss many strings).
