Unable to write to G:/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/PlanetSide 2/PlanetSide2.exe - http://pls.patch.station.sony.com/p...zs/3a/718/e2349cad638a5688c4a050148423a672e63. The file may be in use or you may lack the necessary permissions to install. I'm getting this, and Planetside2.exe is nowhere to be found in my game folder now
Moin Most likely Planetside2.exe got blocked and moved by your antivirus software. At least that's what avast did to my .exe . Grüße, regards, the Toast
He means that it contains code that makes most antivirus programs flag it as malware, so they usually block the installation. I remember reporting this issue MONTHS ago on the test server. Glad to see they have addressed it.. not at all. PS2 programming competence at its best. My antivirus has also blocked it as malware. I'm not sure which program you use, but you will have to add the program as an exception if you want to play.
Click the Security tab at the top Click File system in the right window Click Settings Goto Exclusions In the right window, click browse, browse to your Planetside 2 folder, click ok, then click ok again and close the last window
Thanks MisterBond. That worked like a charm. SOE can we get an answer as to why Avast considers your update a virus?
It's not an issue of programming, it's the QA department slacking. Because Avast is built that way. Better to get a false positive (on a new version of malware for example) than to let a false negative slip past.
I had this problem too with my Avast!! I freaked out, thinking Planetside2 was forever broken! Thanks for the tips guys! Now once this new update is installed back to battle!
Same problem here, I just disabled Avast for the updated then turned it back on after. Sucks that SOE is giving us a Virus.
