I noticed that VO wasen't closing as it should from the main page. It would however close if I force close the program. Today after the update client side, I up dated but got a Update Failed notice. It seems that when I closed the game it did not fully shutdown. I wonder if it just got hung up or what happened.
Error: Cannot delete 'vendetta.rlb': Permission denied
Error: Cannot delete 'drivers/directx9.dll': Permission denied
Error: Cannot delete 'drivers/refgl.dll': Permission denied
Error: Cannot delete 'drivers/cwavsound.dll': Permission denied
Error: Cannot delete 'drivers/gkvulkan.dll': Permission denied
Error: Cannot delete 'drivers/directx11.dll': Permission denied
This was the Error or reason the update did not complete. After searching through the forums for a bit I noticed a post that Luxen had commented on (https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/34583) and I checked to see if vendetta.rlb was running and there were 4 instances running. After closing all of these I was able to update and play again.
I know if Luxen had not stated anything about this 'vendetta.rlb' still running I would not have checked. Maybe this will help someone else or if there is a problem help to fix it.

When i run update.rlb in my linux and play the game, all is ok, but if i run update.rlb and after that disconect the client, then later, when i go run the client again to play, i receive the "permission denied" message.
Then in my case, i change the permissions and make executable the "vendetta" file.
Try to do the same to your "vendetta" file in your Windows, i mean, check and set the permissions.

That's not exactly how windows works, Factor. In this case, the file was being used so windows had locked it from being changed by the updater, because existing games were not correctly closed.
The game normally closes properly if it is closed from the main menu or from other in-game systems. However, in *some* situations, if you close the game by just closing the window or using the windows task bar, the game doesn't *actually* close. The window handle is destroyed, but the application continues running in the background, and this locks the game's binary from being edited by the updater.
You can either use task manager to forcefully kill these ghost tasks, or just restart your computer every now and then (its probably a good idea to do that anyways).

Yeah, we need to watchdog these zombie processes somehow and kill them (or just.. exit properly in the first place, under all conditions). This has been annoying for some time, and I'm not sure why they're not exiting. Solving this has come up recently in the context of the x64 test, so hopefully we'll have some sort of solution before long.
