Hello Guys!
I've got a problem with my RoRLauncher. I was longer inactive and wanted to Update my game. Now i downloaded the ReturnOfReckoning-March2020 Version and followed the steps of installation, but i can't play, because my Launcher only shows up a little red window with "Update" on it. This window is on this place, where the butten for log in should be. Can anybody help me?

Hey,

I hope it was the right instruction...here is another one (maybe) :D

How to Download:
+ Recommend Torrent Tixati: http://www.tixati.com/
+ First step, disable your Antivirus, Firewall, or Malware detection programs. These can potentially interfere with an install.
+ Download torrent file: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/files ... 20.torrent
+ Run the Torrent file, with the Torrent app, and wait until it's finishes.

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 NOT inside 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]

If you have further questions or problems, just join the offical RoR Discord (link in my signature)

Well, I tested a few thinks, turning the write access off, deinstall and new downloaded it, and I followed every step you listed up. Well there is no problem with the write access, but i don't know wich problem it should be ;(

get the latest Launcher from here and replace it with your one: http://launcher.returnofreckoning.com/RoRLauncher.exe

though most likely if its not a write access proble, its the problem that your antivirus/firewall is blocking the files in the folder and cannot update
