cx_Freeze:Python error in main script

[monke_pooper]

Whenever I launch the game this pops up and the game doesn't launch. I just got the game and I've tried everything to fix it. I tried all the fixes for the "cx_Freeze:Python error in main script" on the other discusions but they don't work. I deleted the settings.yml file but it still doesn't work.

Thanks for any Help

Hi, please add an exception for "uoc2.exe" to your antivirus software.

Then, restart your computer and run "verify integrity of local files" on Steam:
https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply
I did all that but after verifying the files I got a “disk write error” and can’t even run the game anymore it just keeps giving me that error. I tried clearing the download cache and repairing the library but it didn’t work.

Thanks for any help

[tomislav.uzelac]

Hi, the game's installation folder could still be write-protected as a result of the earlier "false positive" finding by your antivirus software.

I would suggest restarting Steam, and also restarting the PC before you give up.

Cheers!

[monke_pooper]

Hey, I restarted steam and my pc and i could launch the game again, but I still get the python error. I looked in the log again and this thing came up

Is the module something that is created on launch? I don't seem to have it or it doesn't seem to be working
Any Ideas?

[tomislav.uzelac]

Hi, the utilities module is a part of the game's installation, it should be in a subfolder of the game's Steam installation folder, like this:

bin\win64\utilities.cp311-win_amd64.pyd

If the file is not there, perhaps "verify integrity" was not able to restore it properly. I would try running "verify integrity" once more.

Cheers!

[monke_pooper]

Hey man I figured it out, even though I made an exception for uoc.2 in my antivirus, for some reason it was still deleting "bin\win64\utilities.cp311-win_amd64.pyd" however since I made the exception in the antivirus it was stopping halfway through, meaning it didn't notify me that antivirus did anything, but also the file was corrupted and the game wouldn't run.
I just had to automatically restore the file from the antivirus and delete the corrupted one in the win64 folder.

Thanks for your help
