Windows 7 Read-Only & No Character creation option

[Schwartzerteufel]

Hello,

I attempted to try to find more recent information about these two situations but none of the solutions presented worked and links that others had provided for possible solutions no longer work.

Issue 1 is that the folder resorts back to Read-Only. Most of the solutions that people propose seem to only work for Windows 10. I am using Windows 7. I've tried rebuilding the performance counters as others in posts have suggested, and to no avail. Now when I try through the cmd prompt I actually get an "error 5" code. I have also tried Microsoft's suggestion provided here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... utes-of-fo

Also without success. To my knowledge this is also what prevents me from seeing a server to connect to or see the character creation button at the main screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly is the problem?

When I get to the main screen of the game there is no server options/connect to options and no button to create a character. I've read in other posts from previous years that this is maybe related to having the "Read-Only" box checked off for the Warhammer Online folder from the download. I tried most the solutions I could find as noted in the OP. Other solutions were given in links that no longer work so I am sort of at a loss now.

Did you download the game with our provided torrent?

I used the Mega client.

I had the same issue with permissions but on Windows 8.1 so it's not quite the same. If you didn't find the below thread it has various bits of advice. It got solved by a reinstall (not a full) but not sure how that will play with Windows 7.
