SpellForce 2 Hardware Patch

[NeoX]

hi,

Always fails, is admin, is even in spellforce folder. Deactivated my antivirus and everything. Extended logging active, every time it fails it gives these exact errors:

Access to D:\System Volume Information denied!
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\System Volume Information' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption)

etc, etc, same error for steamapps and everything else.

Seems like something is blocking it. Please make sure its not blocked by some windows privacy settings or over aggressive antivirus.

Firewall is off. Antivirus is off. I wouldn't know what else could be blocking it still.

We could solve the issue by terminating a directory/path on my steam-drive that crashed the search engine
