How to Fix "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file"

Locked out of the fight? Sometimes Windows gets a little overprotective and won’t let the game start up. No worries, here’s how to break through the gate and get back in:

Step 1: Check your file settings

  1. Locate the game's .exe file (this is usually in your game’s install folder)
  2. Right-click and select Properties
  3. Go to the Compatibility tab
  4. Make sure Run this program as an administrator is not checked
  5. Click Apply > OK

Step 2: Reinstall if needed

If the error is still haunting you, go ahead and reinstall the game. A fresh install often clears things up.
