Not quite sure what it means by directory, but have you tried re downloading the game with the link given to you? Try to place the folder containing StickOnline somewhere else. The other reasoning I could think of is that the directory located in the registry is somehow corrupt and it is pointing to an incorrect path for StickOnline. Try the first option I mentioned about re downloading the game though, as it is the safest.

Are you trying to run it without extracting it from the zip file? Or do you for any other reason not have the proper security/account privelages to let the program copy or launch the program on its own? Basically this happens when the update fails because it cant copy in or find the newly downloaded update files to replace the old ones.

Make sure that you have fully extracted the game and all its associated files OUT of the .zip archive it came bundled in. Then also make sure you have administrative privelages on whatever account you are logged into on your computer. Those are the first things I'd check at least.

If it were corrupt you likely wouldn't have even been able to run it at all, but I will email you the link either way. Since it is a problem with retrieving the latest updates, manually downloading the latest version from the link I send you should resolve it.

I'd message you the link with only the client itself, but I'd be forced to upload it somewhere, which is in many different ways not allowed. I believe it would not do this even if the files were not extracted. I believe it's the problem I mentioned in the beginning. I don't believe it is this; but you're running the game from having it saved on the computer itself, right, and not a flashdrive or external hard disk? It should not cause this problem, but if you are restricted from administrative rights it could be a reasoning for it to happen.

I have somewhat the same error but it just says that failed to retrieve recent updates or something along those lines. Just happened today. Ive re-downloaded, extracted and ran as administrator.

Sounds like your game client for whatever reason is unable to communicate with the update server. Make sure you don't have a firewall or any other security programs blocking the program.
