I have just found Vanguard after all these years and had a blast playing it again for the last week. Suddenly this morning the game will no longer launch. It's hard to tell what error message is generated because it spawns a load of text boxes across the screen very fast and then everything disappears to leave just my windows desktop. I tried many times to launch and see what the message is and as far as I can see it is something like;

"Vanuguard cannot launch because EMU\options.xml is being used by another process"

The game was working fine last night but now nothing. I'm running Win10 and had an update install this morning which makes me suspect that has knackered things. Compatability mode and administrator doesn't help and troubleshooter just reports that launcher is an icompatible program.

Does anybody have any idea of how to get Vanguard running again?

You can try right click your Vanguard folder and go to properties and make sure read only is not checked also where is your vanguard folder located?

Tried that and folder is located at c\games\vanguard.
Managed to get game working again but had to delete all instances of it and download it all again. Don't know what on earth happened to it, but just grateful can play again.
