So I first had the issue out of no where about having manipulated files upon loging into the launcher.
After that I checked the forums and found that my antivirus is probably deleting the client.exe file. So I uninstalled, re-installed and opened up the game. This time I got past the launcher, entered the server and was brought to the character selection screen... when I attempt to double click the character I get a new error.. saying roughly the same thing. Any suggestions guys?
