"Could not unpack some files" error

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

Though that file doesn’t exist I’ve searched all over for it

70

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?

71

Yep

72

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%)

74

ok I’ll try

75

Hell no

76

popped up could no unpack files
guh

77

At this point you may want to install it into a new drive lol, or reset windows but that isn’t preferable.

78

I’d even check for viruses and junk that’s causing a file access problem.

79

I’ve tried that

80

and that

81

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

82

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.

83

Sometimes if you shake the baby hard enough it stops crying.

84

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!

85

It still doesn’t want to run. i have deleted both files you listed and it still doesn’t help anything. onec i deleted them i restarted my pc and it poped up again i can’t loose this account ive spent too much time and money on it and i also love to play this game

87

I had downloaded off the war thunder website, when i deleted and downloaded on steam everything started to work fine.

88

when you want to start the game go into the files and double click “launcher” so you can sign in properly
