I downloaded the main torrent and directx 9.0c then installed it. After that I downloaded the launcher, placed it in the main folder and launched it but when i log in i get this.

If anyone knows how to fix this then please tell me, thanks.

Need to remove read only on game folder.

There's a topic for FAQ at the top of this page "Most common issues and solutions". This issue is covered in it.

What do you mean by "Need to remove read only on game folder"?

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.
