Hello.
Has anyone out there had trouble installing WOTR, getting Error messages ''Error copying global layer-make sure the mission builder is not running'' ?.
Can't get past the game menu, I can only access pilot logs & workshop. Anything else get's ''that'' message.
I had it installed & running once or twice before. It worked OK then [apart from poor FPS].
The game download is still in my downloads, and also I copied game to USB straight after purchase. But getting the same results from both now.
I have a 2tb disc drive and 2 SSDs. Getting the same message on all drives.
'POL' has heard very little about this problem, so suggested I make a new user profile, and try installing to that, but the same result again.
My system has a 'Ryzen 5 3600x' with a 'AMD Radeon RX5700XT' & 16bg mem'.
I'm on 'Norton', I have Excluded relevant game & patch files from Sonar, firewall, scans etc.
What you may find odd, is that WOFF is running & playing better than it ever has. [With the help of VonS's tuner mod, good FPS].
I have even reinstalled windows [10].
Has anyone seen this and got round it ???
Thanks..

Personally I'd totally uninstall Norton. Reboot, clean out WOTR, as per section 17 of tyhe FAQ, try installing again.
That would rule it out. Norton as I mentioned in the past for me it was quite nasty low down in the system, and when disabled it is not fully disabled.

Hi Pol'. I was about to uninstall Norton. but thought I'd give it one more go with a few more things turned off.
I disconnected my internet, went back into Norton and turned every security tab off in every section. Loads of them. [ should have tried that weeks ago ]
Well I'd say it defiantly was Norton giving me all that grief. It's installed properly this time.
Shut my computer down 3 times since, and it still loads up OK, even with Norton running. [I've still got 282 days to go with them, but I will try something else after that runs out ].
So I'm a happy bunny now.
Any news coming soon about the next expansion ?.
Thanks for your time, I know you have better thins to be doing..

Sorry only just seen this, been a bit head down on WOTR. Yeah figures, I'd back it being Norton causing it everytime in the last 20 years or so anyway wink.
See this Announcement post in the forum with news about the new WOTR add-on.
