Return of Reckoning

The Launcher has a red "UPDATE" where Connect would be. This has never happened as it's always auto updated. Then I hit "UPDATE" I get this error and it crashes out.

Error Downloading updater:
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'G:\Games\ReturnOfReckoning-March2020\Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning\RoRLauncher.exe' because it is being used by another process.

Any help?

like the error saying. RoRLauncher.exe is being used by another process.



How to Install:

+ Stop your Torrent from seeding (close it, maybe check your task manager)

+Move the Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning outside the ReturnofReckoning-March2020 folder and move it to c:\ ... for instance move it to c:\Games
(but NOTinside c:\ Program Files or c:\ Program Files (x86); it should be in a folder which it have write access)

+ Remove the write-protection from all the files in the Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning folder.
(right click on the War Online - RoR folder > properties > disable the read-only box)

+ Check that your whole Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning folder is whitelisted in your Antivirus program and check if your Firewall or Maleware doesn't interfere with the install.

+ You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.
(Right click on the RoRLauncher.exe > properties > run administrator)

+Run the RoRLauncher.exe
+Let it update (sometimes it needs a few seconds until it starts)
+ Exit launcher and rerun it again
+Repeat the last 2-steps until there is no update left
+ Launch the game

!!! [If you don't have DirectX 9.0c, installed it is required, and now this is also included in the torrent. In the ReturnOfReckoning-March2020 folder find the dx90c folder, open that and run DXSETUP.exe]

Thanks for the reply. Why would this happen in the first place? I was playing last night just fine, woke this morning, put up some x-mas lights, came in with a cup of coffee and tried to launch the game and this happened. Any idea why it would happen?

Thank you

well , you restarted your computer maybe and the torrentclient started? and then locked all the files again?
or antivirus updated and started to block this game

hard to say what exactly happened on your machine. but the story is that something else was using the file, blocking it from accessing.
