Hey king. I'm having issues specifically playing Heretic on your launcher. Every other IWAD works fine. I've tested it on two computers now and I keep getting the error message:
"Access to the path 'C:\Users\19123\Downloads\Hakros Doom Launcher 1.6\data\engines\gzdoom 4.5.0\heretic.wad' is denied."
The game runs fine after that however I think it may lead to corrupted saves. My IWADs are in a folder called "C:\Users\19123\Downloads\Hakros Doom Launcher 1.6\IWADS" so maybe it's trying to run the wrong WAD file? I don't see any options to redirect where the WAD runs from.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Great piece of software you have here by the way. Love the auto-download feature.

Hello, thank you very much for using my app.
I'm glad you like it. :-D
Could you attach a screenshot to see the error?
Don`t worry ;-) !
I'm not sure but it's possible that it could be a problem caused by the antivirus.
Try to move the app folder to another location.
For example: C:\Programs\Hakros Doom Launcher 1.6\
If the problem persists, try delete manually the heretic.wad file from the engine folder.
PS: If you prefer you can just rename it to something like heretic_copy.wad
And try again
Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I moved the entire folder to the root drive and I'm still getting the same issue.
I deleted HERETIC.wad from the "C:\Hakros Doom Launcher 1.6\data\games" folder and from the "C:\Hakros Doom Launcher 1.6\data\engines\gzdoom 4.5.0" folder (where it gets copied over from the games folder). Is the WAD file actually supposed to run from the gzdoom folder? None of the other IWADs make a copy in any of the engine folders or give me an error. Sorry to keep bothering you with this. It's just weird and I wanted to figure out why it just happens with Heretic.
You will need to keep the copy of the file on "C:\Hakros Doom Launcher 1.6\data\games\heretic\" to use it with the app anyway.
All iwad files are copied to engine folder each time but normally it works fine, it is estrange that only that file fails.
At the moment I have no solution I will try to see, if I can reproduce the error in some way.
Greetings, and sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi again. I solved my problem by acquiring another version of heretic.wad and using it instead of the WAD I had been using. Both files seem identical in file size and everything else but perhaps the original was corrupted in some minor way. Looks like it was all on my end. Thanks again for helping me out earlier!
