Error unpacking:

Running as admin doesnt fix it.
Got Win7

Solution?

I'm horrible at troubleshooting this stuff, but you might try this from the Tech Support sticky found here - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2889
I'm thinking specifically making sure that all of the files of the game have the read-only attribute removed from them.

"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."

Hope it helps! :)

This has worked for me, I am running Windows 10 unregistered.


Good luck to others searching the Forum for this problem.

You need to remove "read only" on the entire game folder. Right click the game folder > properties > uncheck "read only" > apply to folder and sub folders > OK.

Then run as administrator.
