it’s not Defender, if you were running a more advance AV that might be it but defender does not block WT at all.
Were you ale to find the log file mentioned in that thread? Copy and paste the contents here (scrub for any personal info you want to hide but I don’t think there’s any in there).
It seems to me that the issue is you’re not able to run the update for one reason or another.
These are from when I first launched war thunder today (I had to make them BLK files because war thunder doesn’t support .txt files)

I can give more recent files if you want
is your tools64.zip file still missing from the new location? (should be in warthunder\win64)
Basically compare the two log files and see if they match, it won’t be exact, it looks like it timed out a BUNCH of times which is probably why it took so long earlier, but the main issue seems to be with that tools64 file.
2479.07 [D] $17 Couldn’t open file C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\WarThunder\win64\tools64.zip for reading, error 2
2479.10 [D] $09 LT: WarThunder partfile read (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\WarThunder\WarThunder\win64\tools64.zip) error: The system cannot find the file specified
2479.10 [D] $09 File system error 2
2479.10 [D] $09 Stat error=1, error=disk
2479.10 [D] $09 Pausing torrent…
2479.10 [D] $09 Torrent isn’t downloading, nothing to pause
2479.10 [D] An error 5 occured
Though that file doesn’t exist I’ve searched all over for it
I’ve been trying to hint to a file access error, hence why the file error is up in the first place.
Have you even tried running the launcher as admin?
Yep
These are the latest launcher logs I can give you the start up logs if needed

Wait, did you install this to C:\WarThunder or DESKTOP\Gaijin Hell?
(if not, make sure you try it to c:\WarThunder or at least c:\GaijinHell - one word)

It looks like it’s trying to download the file but failing, however, the reason to change it to C: is to get it OUT of your profile folder (c:\users\ %username%)
ok I’ll try
Hell no
popped up could no unpack files
At this point you may want to install it into a new drive lol, or reset windows but that isn’t preferable.
I’d even check for viruses and junk that’s causing a file access problem.
I’ve tried that
and that
So uh funny story it turns out the latest bug patch fixed it some how when it doesn’t say anything about it if I am sure
Just keep an eye on it, it’s likely not the actual patch but the changes you’ve made in trying the things we’ve mentioned.
Sometimes if you shake the baby hard enough it stops crying.
Here is how to fix it! go into your war thunder files - go to win 64 then delete aces.exe and aces.exe-min cpu! Both of them, sign out of your windows user and sign back in!
Open the folder again make sure they are not automatically restored and then open the game and enjoy. If you have any other issues let me know!
