New PC Installation issues

  • I'm trying to download Tera on a new PC, got the client first then hit install and this is where it all went to hell. Normally a folder automatically populates to download the game in, this didn't happen. So I checked the same folder it's downloaded on my laptop and tried to download it there on the new PC, got the following message.


    Error: folder cannot be selected as target folder.


    I don't know what to do, because I can't imagine it would get harder for you to install a game with a newer product. I contacted support but I don't know if they'll be able to help me either.

  • There is not much help one can give but for now the only advise I can give is check that you are trying to install the game in the main OS partition.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by OS partition. I went to install Black Desert as well and had no problems, 2 hours left on that download. I had to install a client first and then a folder populated to download the game in. That always used to happen with Tera before, but not this time.

  • And three days later, Tera is finally downloading on my new PC. What I find super annoying with support is the fact that we are on clearly different time zones. I’ll send in a ticket and basically won’t get a response until the next day due to that time difference.



    The fix that worked which finally allowed me to download the game, is I had to create a Tera folder in C:\Program Files (x86). What I don’t understand is why this process was so not user friendly. I never have to jump through hoops to install any game. And is often said by NPC’s in Tera, it’s not like this was exactly my first rodeo, been playing for a super long time.



    Anyway, hope this explanation will help anyone else who may be having the same problem.
