having some issues downloading- "windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item". Theoretically it shouldnt be a lack of access issue since i am only profile/account on this pc... lol. but perhaps i'm missing something else?
Is this your first attempt to run it? If not, was it fine until now or has it always been this way?
Please right click the file > Properties > Security tab and double check that your profile has full permissions. I'm not sure how this could change (especially if it's only 1 profile). If your permissions are missing then you can add them back here, or if everything looks good then here is something else that has fixed a couple other fringe issues that some players have had, maybe it can work here as well:
- Make sure your Windows is up to date (to make sure we are in a good starting position)
- Press the Windows key, type "add or remove programs" and hit enter. Find Artifact in the list and uninstall it from there. (to start with a clean slate)
- Download Visual C++ Redistributables Packages for Visual Studio 2013:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 - Right click the downloaded file and Run as Administrator (making sure you have the basics)
- Press the Windows key, type 'command prompt'. Right-click command prompt and Run as Administrator. Type 'sfc /scannow' and hit enter (repairs potential corrupt files)
- Restart your PC
- Re-download latest Artifact files
