attribute "read-only"

Post#1 » Tue Sep 29, 2020 1:30 pm

guys i am facing a problem. as you know, one of the points of installing the game is to disable the read-only attribute on the game folder. But it does not turn off for me. I have already tried everything, but when I re-entered the properties, the "read-only" attribute was enabled because of this, I cannot enter the game. And the desire to play is huge.

Make sure you have administrator access, in case you have different users.

You can also press Windows Key + X and select the Command Prompt (Admin), then type this command and press Enter afterwards:

Code: Select all

attrib -r +s D:\Games\Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning
Change "D:\Games\Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning" to your actual folder location.

I have admin access. And the "command Prompt" method does not work, I tried it several times.

Hey,

so this "I already uncheckd the 'read-only' but when I check a again it's 'read-only' again" it's visuell bug from Windows....so don't trust this.
But here is the short install guide, maybe you missed a step? If you get a error-message do a screenshot or copy the clip board.

How to Download:
- Recommend Torrent Tixati: http://www.tixati.com/
- First step, disable your Antivirus, Firewall, or Malware detection programs. These can potentially interfere with an install.
- Download torrent file: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/files ... 20.torrent
- Run the Torrent file, with the Torrent app, and wait until it's finishes.

How to Install:
- Stop your Torrent from seeding (close it, maybe check your task manager)
- Move the RoR Folder to c:\ (or atleast it's NOT in c:\program or a folder which it wont have write access. For instance move it to c:\Games\Return of Reckoning)
- delete the RoRLauncher.exe
- download a new one here: http://launcher.returnofreckoning.com/RoRLauncher.exe
- put the new RoRLauncher.exe back into the RoR-folder
- Remove the write-protection from all the files in the WAR folder. (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable the read-only box)
- Check if your whole RoR Folder is whitelisted in your Antivirus program and check if your Firewall or Maleware doesn't interfere with the install.
- You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges. (Right click the RoR updater > properties > run administrator)
- Run the RoRLauncher.exe
- Let it update (sometimes it needs a few seconds until it starts)
- Exit launcher and rerun it again
- Repeat the last 2-steps until there is no update
- Launch the game
- [If you don't have DirectX 9.0c, installed it is required, and now this is also included in the torrent. In the ReturnOfReckoning-March2020 folder find the dx90c folder, open that and run DXSETUP.exe]
