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!
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
I had downloaded off the war thunder website, when i deleted and downloaded on steam everything started to work fine.
when you want to start the game go into the files and double click “launcher” so you can sign in properly
I just had this very same error occur, but my error message included the named of the file and the directory which could not be removed or replaced. I went to the folder, located the file in question, and removed it. Though I didn’t delete it, I simply dragged it to my desktop just in case. After doing that, I re-opened the launcher and it installed the new file in it’s place and all is well. In my own specific case, the file was named “cefprocess.exe”. Figured I’d drop this bit of information here just in case anyone else needs it some day. Reading through the hopeless trial and error process above was a bit scary to look at.

same, and it works for me too! except after that it included the named of the file and the directory of “ACES.EXE” in win 64 folder of war thunder. fixed like a charm!
Okay I just had this issue myself when opening the war thunder launcher. Couldn’t unpack Aces.exe.
after reading through this whole thread and finding nothing that would apply to my situation (since the game has been working fine for years up until today), I went to delete the aces.exe file and found I couldn’t because it was “open in vgc”
what the hell is vgc? The Riot Games Vanguard Anticheat software, for League of Legends and Valorant. I had the League of Legends client open and the Vanguard Anticheat was blocking Warthunder. Go figure.
Closed the League client and the WT launcher worked fine. So uhh, If you have something by Riot Games running in the background, maybe try closing that?
