This popped up when I started the RoR launcher, any idea what this means?

That is the Skynet activation code. We only have thirty minutes...

.Net file handled incorrectly
1. Permissions
C:\Program Files (x86)\ is a UAC-protected folder. If the launcher isn't running as administrator, Windows can return an invalid handle on read/write attempts.

2. File doesn't exist
UserSettings.xml was deleted/corrupted.

3. File locked by another process (an antivirus scan for example)
Another process (antivirus, the game still running in the background, etc.) has the file open.

Fix: add an exception for the Return of Reckoning folder.

Strangely enough the message stopped showing up. Never had this happen before, this is a first for me. The game still runs and works as it has since I have been playing. Maybe it resolved itself?
