Error Installing

Post#1 » Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:25 am

Hi all,

I downloaded the 5 part on the right, instead of the 10 part direct download. After everything was downloaded, I downloaded the patcher and put everything in 1 same folder.

The issue is that I'm getting the following error:

Error starting: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Warhammer\WAR.exe'.
File name: 'C:\Warhammer\WAR.exe'
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at 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)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access)
at RoRLauncher.Hash.GetMd5HashFromFile(String fileName)
at RoRLauncher.Client.patchExe()
at RoRLauncher.Client.Handle(PacketIn packet)


Basically, there's no WAR.exe in any of the downloaded folders. What did I do wrong? Both part 1 and 2 have the same art.myp file. Is this an error?

Just looking for any feedback here as I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

You need to extract part 1 using WinRaR or 7-Zip. This will use the remaining parts to create the WAR folder. Uncheck read-only on war.exe and data.myp, put the RoRLauncher in that folder and give it a shot.

Thanks for the help Wargrimnir!

Good news:
Did that and the game launches.

Bad news:
When it gets to the accept/decline the agreement it crashes tot he desktop. Going to look around and see if this is a known bug.

Any help appreciated.

If you do not find a fix, I would suggest re-download the client using the 10 part download. Crashes to desktop can stem from a corrupted installation.

I can certainly try that. I noticed after I tried re-installing that some files seemed to have issues being unzipped. I think art.myp and world.myp or something like that. I suspect that's the cause.

I started downloading the 10 part and it took significantly longer to download even the 1st one. Does that make sense?

I have to download all 10 of these? Seems like it's going to take a good chunk of time. Is this about average?

Thanks for the help!

So I Downloaded both part 1 and part, and I can't unzip them with 7zip. I don't know what's happening, but it seems I need to pass on playing if I can't make it work.

Can't because? Mind sharing a screenshot of your folder with parts, and the error you are getting while attempting to unzip it?
