That looks like the Windows version of our launcher.

Assuming I’m right, could you try right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator? It won’t prevent the need to unarchive packages again, but might make it stick next time.

If that doesn’t work, could you please tell us where it is installed?

Try placing it somewhere other than in the following folders;

  • /Program Files/
  • /Program Files x(86)/

For example, C:/Games/Last Epoch should be less prone to permissions issues.

Yes, that’s correct.

Hey,

Been a while since we’ve heard from you. Can I ask if this issue is ongoing?

Alright.

In that case I’ll lock the thread. You’re welcome to open another in future if necessary.

I'm afraid that the new launcher version no longer runs on obsolete Windows versions.

If you can update to Windows 10 or 11 that is the best way forward, given that Steam will no longer run on them either next year.

Otherwise please check this thread on the situation
