You can give yourself permission to a folder by right-clicking the folder, click Properties, click the Security tab, click on the group you want to change, then Edit.

Go in your Steam folder, steamapps folder, then the common folder. Find the game, right-click the .exe then run as admin. You can also make a shortcut to desktop if you have to do it everytime.

I'm sure there is sort of command you can put into steam when you launch said game, but I don't know it.

i had this problem before and i tried to run coj as administrator,and it worked.i think you shoult try run coj as administrator.if it not works,you did something wrong.so,try reinstalling the game or contact with developer or support.

I know this thread is kind of old, but I had this problem as well presumably because I was playing between a laptop and my desk top. I fixed it by simply finding the riptide folder in my documents folder and clicked the read-only option to disable it on the entire riptide folder from the properties of said folder. This fixed it and then after I launched the game it re enabled the read only status but it still worked.

I hope this helps someone playing Zombie domestic violence simulator 2013
