Unfortunately this QA from hell is not responding to my computer. I cannot even get to the patch screen. I followed directions exactly. The download went smoothly and created that new icon on my desktop. I double click on the new launcher to start it up and I get this message:
"Failed to create a copy of the launcher or a critical support library for patching. If you have a file called Matrix.exe in your game directory, please make sure it is writable."
Just to be sure I double click on the normal Matrix launcher and it works perfectly fine. Roukan, Raineo, Call and everyone on vent attempts to assist me. I delete the client and do it manually. I copy my current MxO client and then add that useropts.cfg notepad thing. I create a shortcut for the launcher on the desktop and rename it. I double click on launch and guess what I get? Yes the same message.
So I write click on the Test launcher folder and it says read only in properties. Everytime I click it off it defaults back to read only. So we think that may be the problem. But then just to make sure I right click properties on my normal MxO launcher and it also says read only, yet I am still able to log in game so that cannot be the problem. So Raineo suggests that I turn off all of my firewall and zone alarm stuff. Still no dice.
Roukan even sent me his launcher over aim and I still get the same message. My last resort is to completely wipe MxO off my hard drive and do a reinstall, but that scares me because I may not be able to get in the normal MxO.
