Need actual help.

[Cynfire]

So since my last post was locked almost as soon as I posted it, I'm going to repost. In my last thread the only help given was to look at http://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/ ... f=4&t=2889 which I had, but the fixes for my issue are not working.

Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!

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.

If you used the torrent to download the game, the torrent application may still be using the files. Either copy the entire WAR folder to a new location (if you wish to continue supporting the torrent), or move the entire WAR folder to another location to break access to the torrent.

data.myp is read only!

Same solution as above.

The only thing I can't show in that picture is that I opened the launcher as Admin. but I did.

As for using a torrent to download the game, I didn't. I downloaded all the files from http://www.returnofreckoning.com/join.p ... =us&step=2 under step 4 "Download via direct download" It took forever but I hate using torrents, so that's the way I went. On top of all that, I moved the Warhammer folder anyways, as you can see in the screenshot, I moved it to a new folder in a random pictures folder I have, which would break any link a torrent program would have to the folder, if for some reason there was one on my comp.

Now that I've "proven" that I did indeed read the Common issues thread and I'm still having problems, can someone give me actual help? The only thing I can think of is maybe I don't have the latest patch? I never had to download a patch for RoR before and I didn't see it posted anywhere.

Thank you.

The reason it was locked was because you didn't (or you missed the section about this problem) read the FAQ common issues and solutions.

Then please tell me what I am missing? my error is

Spoiler:

In the FAQ it says for a data.myp error to read "Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!" which I did, fixed and posted proof. What else applies to this error then? I don't understand, obviously, so instead of telling me to find it on my own, when I clearly am trying and getting nowhere, how about tell me exactly what section of the FAQ I should be looking at to get the game fixed?

For a group of people who wanted to keep this game going, you're not a helpful bunch. I feel like I'm playing the Sims 2 and dealing with the people from MATY again, making a good game great but everyone for themselves and your an idiot if there's a problem.

You need to rebuild performance counters. How to manually rebuild performance counters:
1- Go to start, and type in the search box "cmd". Right click cmd, and run as administrator.
2- Type in the command console, "cd c:\windows\system32", and hit enter.
3- Then type "lodctr /r", and hit enter.

It will take a few seconds to perform the command.Performance counters should be rebuilt. Try starting the game again.

If that does not work, type

Code: Select all

lodctr /e:PerfProc
instead.

It may help to remember that while for you, this is your first interaction with us as support, it's nowhere near our first interaction with a player, and we have seen many, many people who blithely post their problems in this subforum rather than reading the stickies and/or using Search. Fair warning is given - you're meant to mention in your original post that you've thoroughly read the stickies and used Search and not found the solution to your problem that way.

Thank you Xyeppp, that was the part I was missing. It is working now.

Azarael, I understand that but sometimes people need more of a hand then "It's over there, figure it out yourself." I'm sure you get a hundred posts like this a day but not everyone can look at an error and pull out the tiny bit of information needed to fix a problem, and yeah I am one of those people lol.
