Hi, newbie here and first time poster.

Launcher version : 1183418.1058, with default settings.

Since yesterday I cannot launch the game on my Mac (stuck at the infamous “Resource Loading” screen).

1. When running Verify on Shared Cache Settings I get the following :

> 67697 index entries processed (0 corrupt)  
> 25351 files processed (2882 extra files deleted)

1. The launcher then starts downloading 2733 files (62.72MB), with the prefix “Wine:” in the status bar.  
Near the end of the download a wine pop-up appears briefly indicating that “The Wine configuration in _local path_ is being updated, please wait”.

2. After download is complete and status is “Ready” I launch the game : still doesn’t work.  
I run again Verify on Shared Cache Settings, and the same message appears (“2882 extra files deleted”).

3. Now the launcher downloads 149 files (without the prefix “Wine:”)  
 → Still doesn’t work.

4. Verify on SCS one more time : “149 files deleted”  
Launcher then downloads again 149 files…  
GOTO step 4

5. To break that endless loop I restart the launcher, and oh good gracious, the 2733 wine files are downloaded again.  
GOTO step 2

Any idea on how to solve that ?  
I tried to manually delete all shared cache under _\c\_tq\_tranquility_ but I ended up with the same scenario.  
Is there something I should look up to in the launcher logs ? Didn’t see anything odd there at first glance.

Thanks in advance for your help

Update :

I deleted the launcher and all Eve files I could find on my mac, redownloaded the launcher (still version 1183418) : the exact same problem occurs…  
I have now officially run out of ideas.

And my skill queue is desperately empty…

Fixed by checking “Download everything”.  
I would have preferred not to but at least it works…
