I've tried all the solutions except for the Powershell method purely because I don't understand what it wants me to do.
This error occurred after my game crashed also after turning off read only after I try to launch again read only is turned back on.
"Error Downloading HTTP:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\return of rekt\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.

try setting all ror folder and subdirectories as non readonly.
and it could also be your antivirus ; tell him to ignore ror folder.
ps: seems that depending on your av, a machine reboot could be needed.
