Seems safe, i always delete them. But the files will download again in batches of ~350MB every time you start the launcher.
Now i also set the folder read only and will monitor to see if will be any issue when the game will want to update.
If you make /SquirrelTemp/ a read-only directory and keep launching the launcher, the memory usage seems to increase.
Can’t write to the file, so it’s dumped into memory?
To prevent this, you must close the launcher after starting the client.
It seems that there is no problem in deleting the contents of the /SquirrelTemp/ directory.

I can’t get the installer to run.
System: gentoo-linux (not using Steam)
tried installing with the following wine versions:
wine-proton-8.0.4 → install fails with an error about running as regular user, not administrator
wine-staging-8.20 → install proceeds, system-tray icon appears, and the EVE logo overlay over my desktop, but then goes no further.
This is with the latest installer as of this message. Any tips for what I can try?
Is the “eve-online.exe” already there? Should be in your wineprefix in Apddata/local/eve-online.
Can try running it with “wineconsole exe-online.exe”, maybe it just had a hiccup
It’s doing the same for me, If you got to the logo the launcher should be installed.
Check in AppData/Local if there is a eve-online folder. In eve-online folder there should be a folder app-0.4.9 or whatever the launcher version is. Run eve-online.exe from that app-0.4.9 folder.
eve-online folder exe just links to the app.0.4.9 one, so both should work
oh, I see the issue. My wine-proton install installed to {WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/users/steamuser/, but this new one is installed under …/users/{username}. I’ll see if that works.
Cheers
UPDATE: nope, it starts, but again only loads the system-tray icon and shows the EVE logo, and then this streams in the console:

PSA: Upgrade existing EVE failed, start with a fresh wineprefix did
Just in case somebody else looking for a solution finds this: Updating an existing wineprefix used with 8.20-devel to 8.20-staging wine and executing the new launcher showed me the EVE logo and then nothing. I did not get any javascript errors, only some typesetting ones.
Starting with a fresh wine prefix however did work, migrating the settings is not a problem.
