star-citizen: Can't download game - launcher version 2.0.0 (beta)

[Sntx626]

When trying to install the game with the latest launcher, I get the following error:

I was getting a similar error with the 2.0 launcher when trying to install it in proton earlier, but mine included an issue about being unable to create the installation folders because the user hadn't given permission. I assumed that was due to a broken UAC query or something. In this case I don't see it, but I wanted to throw my info here in case it was helpful. The legacy launcher seems to be doing well...

The 2.0 Launcher requires Wine 9.5 or newer, whereas wine-ge is significantly older and the necessary patches have not been back ported. If you still want to use it, you'll need to override the Wine package and edit your host file to block the installation of EAC or use EOS_USE_ANTICHEATCLIENTNULL=1 (this is already the default setting in the script).

The 1.X Launcher isn't being phased out any time soon. Currently, the 2.X Launcher (still in beta) causes performance issues and won't be particularly useful until Squadron 42 is released.

EDIT: If you have a specific reason to use the 2.X Launcher, please let me know, and I can look into adding support for it. However, I'd prefer not to maintain two separate launcher versions if there's no substantial benefit to doing so.

Thanks for the response!

After your response I went back to the 1.X launcher and everything works. I mistakingly thought that the 2.X launcher replaced the 1.X launcher.

In the future there'll probably be an issue on enabling the 2.X launcher, but I'm closing this issue, since I see no reason to maintain the 2.X launcher for now.
