Client download issues and troubleshooting

[Natherul]

When I tried logging into Warhammer I got this error:

Error starting: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\stephen\Downloads\Age_of_Reckoning_client\WAR.exe'.
File name: 'C:\Users\stephen\Downloads\Age_of_Reckoning_client\WAR.exe'

What should I do to fix this error?

The launcher can't find War.exe. You need to put the RoR launcher inside the game folder.

I do not have the game folder.
I did try downloading from the torrent but I had the same problem.

Ypu need to download BOTH the torrent and client, they are 2 different downloads, and the client needs to be placed in the game folder that you get in the torrent

I get this message when I try to log into my account from the launcher.

I have the game running now but when the main screen comes up no charectors or options besides the options, cinnematics etc comes up. Im not able to go any further because nothing else shows up.

Are you sure you downloaded the ror launcher and run that and not war.exe or warpatch.exe?

Yes, I run the ror launcher inside the aor folder and no chareters appear.

I'm getting the same issue as Dukashi, every time I try to log in on the launcher, it gives me an error

idk if you did this or not so give it a try
Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!

Unblock the launcher. (right click RoRLauncher.exe -> properties -> click Unblock button)

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.
