Title: WA.exe disappeared
Post by: DataLore on November 04, 2021, 01:21 PM

It happened 2 times that i wanted to start the game but the link from my desktop was not working because of the missing original file WA.exe in the folder of the game. I did not canceled anything, it disappeared by his own. I deleted the game and reinstalled then it worked, but then it happened another time, and same i did. Why is this happening ? What should i do to solve the problem ?

I hate to loose my team file every now and then. I have a backup of my Team file to cope with that, but it is annoying. Everytime I decide to create a new team I need to save a copy of the updated file, otherwise it will disappear and I will have to use my old file again. Then I need to create the team again or give up creating new teams. This bug is really annoying.

Is it on Windows 10? It have built in antivirus which is deleting files without warning. So do not be surprised when your MP3 or downloaded movies will dismiss self. They know better if it is legal to have or not to have, so they delete and do not say anything.

By built in antivirus I mean Windows Defender (or what it is, I do not have Win10). :P
