Cannot connect through the launcher

Post#1 » Sat Jun 25, 2016 11:59 am

Everytime I try to connect I get this message:

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to 'C:\AoE\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' Denied.
in- System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
in- System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost)
in- System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)
in- System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode)
in- RoRLauncher.Client.patchExe()
in- RoRLauncher.Client.Handle(PacketIn packet)

the words access to, denied and in were changed by me because I needed to translate it from another language to english.(so its not 100% accurate but it should be close enough)

Thanks in advance

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.

I had a few errors myself when I first tried starting my launcher. I'm not sure if this will apply to your case but it might help. First make sure you give the folder where your .EXE file is located the correct permissions. Make the entire file basically run as administrator. Secondly, when you download the game, make sure you unzip all parts (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) at the same time. Don't try and unzip them one by one. Hope this helps you.
