Hello,

I've been trying to log in using the launcher and I got the below error, hoping someone can assist:

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Games\Warhammer Online\WAR.exe' is denied.

Remove read only on the game folder.

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.

Thank you for that. My apologies for not having found the fix myself.
