Hey Fellas

Any heads up on why I am unable to download the game. Is the content IP regulated ? I am stuck on the patching file and it never goes beyond that. Attaching a screenshot for reference.

Seems like the Antivirus is trying to scan the file which is preventing it from patching. Also, there might be chances that you are installing in a folder that requires Administrator access.

I have admin rights so thats not an issue. Also I don't use an AV apart from the MS provided defender. It did block it the first time. Is there a way I can whitelist the .exe file. Like you mentioned, Im pretty sure that something is preventing patching

Allow your antivirus to allow game client

I dont have an antivirus running. Its just the Windows Defender. Im still not able to download even after giving exception. Is there any way I can get the full client downloaded.

Go to Windows Security -> Virus and Threat Protection -> Protection history and allow A3Client.exe

Thanks for the prompt response Blade. Still no help. A3.exe is not blocked by defender. Also, I have sent you a PM. If its appropriate, please respond.

Look for A3Client.exe in the block list.

Uninstall game and install it again and follow instructions given by gm and other players may be it will help you to solve your issue.

Okay so none of the fixes provided work. I don't have an anti virus installed and all permissions from defender are all okay. Back in the day, there was an option to download full client. Is that a possibility ?

I have sent your a PM with instructions.
