hi guys! i torrented the client and after it was finished attempted to run the launcher and was met with error
Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Freeman\Downloads\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

You need to remove read only on the game folder. Since you used the torrent to download it, move the game folder and then remove read only.

Hi! So I also have the same problem with not being able to uncheck the read-only, as I also torrented the client. Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say move the game folder? Apologies for the inconvenience.

I didn't have this issue, but I assume it's because I copied to another drive after I torrented it? Probably what they mean by move the game folder; move the folder to another location.

Correct.

I see. Thank you both for your responses!

I couldn't reply to PM (as I assume I haven't posted enough or whatever) but simply moving the folder to another location on the same drive would suffice: then, right click the folder; properties, and remove read-only as described above.Save and close properties, attempt to launch and should work.

I can't help you regarding Q on virtual drive, I haven't done anything with them.
