I opened the Launcher and as usual, the Launcher checked for updates. But, because I had work to do. I should close my Game Launcher. A few hours later, I opened my Launcher again but all I got was a pop up error notification (Image Attached). Since I first played this game in 2021, I have never had a problem like this. So I need your advice, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
So, because no one respond on this thread, i try to solve it by my self and so glad my war thunder launcher can back to normal. After I created this thread and while waiting someone respond to this thread. To solve this error without reinstall, at that time i decided to makes three methods. The three methods are as follows:
-
- Because i didn’t use steam so i can’t use steam integrity check. Therefore, I open my WT Launcher properties and go to compatibility tab, give check compatibility mode and choose windows 8. As a result , Windows still gave me pop up notification with error code 0xc0000005
-
- At that time, i think The simplest and quickest way is to run a Windows Restore Point. But sadly, after do restore point. Windows still gave me pop up error notification 0xc0000005
-
- Since two methods that I tried didn’t work. At that time I started to think about How a program that was previously running normally, suddenly became error after I close/stop it while it was performing the update check function. So I opened my War Thunder folders, check all sub folders and all files. After doing that, i just realize Gaijin already give their users a hint for troubleshooting. I see some Rar files inside main dir WT folder and War Thunder Sub folders. So in this troubleshooting method I do several things such as:
-I open and read some logs
i open three folders (.game_logs, .gjupdater_log, and .launcher_log) and i tried to read it (Just try to find the error)
-I opened a folder named “win64”
in this folder i see three files rar (cef64, pc64, and tools64) and before i extrat that rar files, i should know contains inside the rar files. So, i open the rar file (pc64), check the contains of pc64 rar file. After that, i Created a folder on my desktop, choose some files inside win64 folder according to the content of pc64 rar file and copy those files that i already choose for backup. After that i ran the program and yay, Windows still give same pop up errors hahahahahaha. I open again my backup folder, restore original files to win64 folder and doing again the same procces (for cef64, and tools64 rar files). The result is, Windows still gave me same pop up error.
-i back again to my main War Thunder directory and do the same thing as before,open the rar files, backup the original files, extract rar files (cef_paks and eac_wt_mlauncher rar files), test it. And still same error
-I Open EasyAntiCheat folder, do the same thing as before (eac rar file). Result : same error notification
-And finally, the folder named update.
In this folder, i see a rar files named latest. i check the contains of this rar file, backup the original files (the files in war thunder main directory btw). extract the rar files. move all extracted file to main directory, test it. AND ALHAMDULILLAH, FINALLY, MY WAR THUNDER LAUNCHER CAN RUN NORMALLY AGAIN AND GIVE ME SOME UPDATE PATCHS. After the update process complete, i click the Play button and i can enter again War Thunder.

Conclusion
It’s known that, in my War Thunder main directory there is no file named “package.blk”. Probably missing after i close the launcher during update procces, and this does not match the contents of the rar file named “latest”. So it can be concluded and most likely, the cause of the pop up notification error 0xc0000005 on my War Thunder launcher is because the War Thunder Launcher cannot find the file named “package.blk” in my War Thunder main directory. Solved
