"!!!AN ERROR OCCURRED!!! - game stopped launching

[Tom]

Hi, as of this evening the game suddenly not launching anymore. The uploading bar fills only a small area but text says 100% and Completed! with a big red "An Error Occured" sign next to it. and 2nd error window reads:

Error Downloading Updater:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system the file specified

at RORUpdater.MainWindow.tYB114Sxk(Object , DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs )

I am computer illiterate. Could not see same issue on the Technical Sticky board. Kindly any idea what to do?

It is happening to me too.

However, It ends up with a Trojan warning and more info leads to this:

After some 25+ attempts to open launcher, and a few computer restarts the launcher finally popped up and now seems to download a whole lot of updates so guess its reset somehow, and hopefully am back in soon Didnt change anything noteworthy to my knowledge either before or after issue since I have no clue how to fix whatever it was in the first place.

Its an antivirus issue. just whitelist
Add your warhammer folder to exclusions list

It's false positive.

For windows defender you can do a folder exclusion: https://wiki.nus.edu.sg/display/DA/Add+ ... ity+Center

Kaspersky should have removed the false positive in one of today's database updates. So that may have fixed your issue.

Looks like it was McAfee that stopped RoR for me just fyi. When temporarily disable it, RoR launcher works again.

Nothing is working. Still getting the same message after adding it to exclusion list.
