the launcher does not complete loading it seems, gets to ~99% but will not light the ‘play’ button nor can I do a ‘repair’. I have downloaded latest launcher, twice and still the same problem.
I have also tried downloading the game with an alternate login email etc and get the same problem that i cannot open the launcher ’ cant access… permissions ’ etc including when opening as admin
That sound like a malware… when window run into permission problem and the problem persist when running thing ‘‘as an administrator’’ most of the time it’s some kind of malware that change window user permission.
However, your anti-virus (if any) could also be responsible of your problem, this article could be usefull if your anti-virus tagged the launcher.exe as a potential threat.
