Trouble Starting up Client

[Jimbo]

A few days ago my antivirus notified me on deleting a file called 'game.dat' in C:/Westwood/Ra2. I don't know why it did but it just did.

 

I tried to launch the cncnet client and the update started downloading/extracting the file 'game.dat.lzma'.

After it finished updating it came up with an error: 'Access to path C:/Westwood/Ra2/game.dat is denied.

 

I attempted to uninstall then reinstall the game but I couldn't find the program called 'cncnet' but is it 'Yuri's Revenge compatfix'?

 

Help please?

You can't really uninstall it since the installer more like a self extractor. The updater should fix the problem, but something is blocking it and it fails to extract the file. Check your anti virus/firewall etc

Will it work if I reinstall the anti-virus software? Its free so I wont have to worry about licenses and stuff.

You should rather check the settings of the program and try to add an exception.

Or you could also send them the file so they can check it and fix the false detection

All solved, thanks a lot!

Ehmm... you should lock the topic if the problem is solved :|

Only moderators have the power to do that, and I don't think it's our policy to close topics just because the issue is solved. Related issues that are on-topic enough to belong here may pop up later, either by the original poster or other people.
