Hi. I get this error message when i try to run the RoK launcher. Everything is installed correctly and in the same folders, I believe.

You see that big thing in red up top?
The one that says "BUT FIRST OF ALL, READ THE MOST COMMON ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS"?
Click on that.

Sorry. I find the forums abit confusing. I rarely use them anyway so that might be why

Remove read only on the game folder.

Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!

Remove the write-protection (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable read-only) from all the files in the WAR folder and try again. You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.

If you used the torrent to download the game, the torrent application may still be using the files. Either copy the entire WAR folder to a new location (if you wish to continue supporting the torrent), or move the entire WAR folder to another location to break access to the torrent.

thx Elven, that worked

Take the Folder out of Read only. Give it write permissions.
I had that problem too.
It's the torrent.

Any idea's on why character selection won't show up?

I fixed the firewall problem....I think.
I now get different errors:

You need to use the RoR launcher. You can download it from the link at the top of the page.

I was.

I reloaded the application and now it is working. You can close this thread.
Lesson learned to everyone who looks at this thread read the logs.
