Republic Commando won't launch. Something about a virus.

[Stark's Rifles]

Just for clarity, I barely know ♥♥♥♥ about computers.
I tried to launch Republic Commando for the first time since I got my new computer (Windows 10 HP) and it just stops and I get either one of two messages:

1)

"AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILST UPDATING STAR WARS: REPUBLIC COMMANDO (MISSING EXECUTABLE): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Republic Commando\GameData\System\SWRepublicCommando.exe

2)

"FAILED TO START PROCESS FOR STAR WARS: REPUBLIC COMMANDO: "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the required services" (0 x 5AA)

At this point my McAfee anti virus software says its caught a virus orginating from the game files but I look and I can't find it.

What do these mean? Whats wrong and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks

McAfee is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ antivirus that thinks that the game is a virus. Get rid of McAfee, get a proper antivirus and you will no longer have this issue.

Also the first is down to a missing thing in the game files. idr what it is exactly, but its something about "copying the steam.dll into the base game folder"

[Firestorm🗿]

Oh, also it would be good to know your system specs.

Ah, now I remember. Its your antivirus quarantining a critical executable that is essential for game startup. Best solution is still to get rid of McAfee, as I said before its ♥♥♥♥.

Okay, can you recommend anything better then McAfee?

Well, I mean I use Norton but apparently a lot of people (mostly gamers) don't like it. I did a quick search and I found this list: https://www.antivirusguide.com/best-antivirus/?lp=default&geo=uk&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&sgv_medium=search&utm_campaign=1717727411&utm_content=70346412194&utm_term=%2Bbest%20%2Bantivirus&cid=336057059692&pl=&feeditemid=&targetid=kwd-21182800352&mt=b&network=g&device=c&adpos=&p1=&p2=&geoid=9046984&gclid=CjwKCAjwkdL6BRAREiwA-kiczBcgStMgTsKMEx0F92YVRUIJ6YEa-UKyxTnxBCYE7UQ0sibUADKK8RoCwx4QAvD_BwE

Looked at some other lists, the consensus for the best one is either Norton or Bitdefender. I suppose that it would be a good idea to look at reviews for both of them and figure out which one you would rather have, as they both have pros and cons.

I have also found this thread on Macafee's help forum, take a look at this if you would rather not switch: https://community.mcafee.com/t5/Consumer-General-Discussions/McAfee-interferes-with-games/m-p/637051#M34112

Thanks mate. I'll look into both.

i use kasperry and have never had it flag any game on my computer.

[Cheez]

cant you just run the game as an administrator? or run a compatibility troubleshoot? if a file is missing either redownload the game or check missing files through steam

[FadedBlackout]

Mine still wont run even after i got rid of mcafee, it says i have the same issue '"AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILST UPDATING STAR WARS: REPUBLIC COMMANDO (MISSING EXECUTABLE): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Republic Commando\GameData\System\SWRepublicCommando.exe'

Do a fresh install and see if that fixes it.

MalwareBytes is the anti-virus I use personally. I have never had issues with it and it's actually managed to save an old laptop I had several years ago that I had a ton of viruses on.

I'm having a similar problem and i'm not sure what to do and when i try to contact support it brings me to a disney website that I have not found to be helpful. I tried all the things on the steam troubleshooting page. I don't understand how to do all these things you are talking about.
