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.

Hello, I've read through the majority of this thread, I downloaded the torrent and it seems it was missing the Return of Reckoning launcher so none of the other launchers worked and I couldn't get it to install. I tried the direct download but it says all servers busy. I tried the mega upload and it says its going to take ~20 hours (the torrent took 1-2 hours) per part. Anyone else having issues with the download or similar torrent download issues?

This is what my folder looks like, from other answers way earlier in the thread I don't see the launcher. Am I an idiot and I don't see it or is it missing and should I try something else. I deleted and re-downloaded the torrent, same thing.

Spoiler:

Edit once more, I realized what I was doing wrong and it involved changing the read only thing as other posts suggests, sorry. Got it working now.

Where do you put the performance counter? In the same folder as the RoRLauncher?

Data.myp:

This is what i get, and it allows me to get into warhammer but all i can do is sit in the starting screen after the cinematic. Any ways around it?

Hiho,

I downloaded the game as a Torrent and every time I try to start with "warpatch" it says:
"The patch client was unable to retrieve the file [patcher.prod.sig] from the patch server (0 total errors encountered). Please try the patch operation again in a short while".
I tried it several times in several hours but nothing changed it still wont work.

What am I making wrong?

Did not follow instructions, used warpatch.exe instead of the RoR Launcher.

That´s what it says.
After two days of trying to Install it (the problem was in Chrome. I managed to download it from Firefox and after a bit of struggle even unzip it without any mistake or error).
But when I launch RoRlauncher and login, a box opens with the Error descripted above.
Can you help me, please?

Uncheck read only on the folder...

I can't get the client to launch from the Launcher. At first the connect button did nothing, so I changed it to run as admin. I also changed all files to NOT be read-only. The launcher is in the same directory as the war.exe file. Running as admin, most of the time it gives me a login info error stating incorrect user/pass. I changed my password to be 8 characters long, only lower-case letters, no numbers or characters. As evident from my posting here, my account info is valid. I have restarted the launcher literally over 100 times now. Mostly it yields the user/pass error, maybe 15% of the time it still does nothing when I click connect. A previous user posted about files being blocked because they were on an older win os and directly copied; I transferred all files to a FAT32 drive which removes all the stream/blocking data and repeated all the above; the exact issue persists.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
