- Antivirus
- Other
If you have Kaspersky AntiVirus or Kaspersky Internet Security installed, you may encounter the "altv-client.dll can't be loaded" error, even if all necessary exceptions have been added. The only known solution for this problem is to disable the virus scanner. Additionally, keeping the alt:V window in focus can help minimize the likelihood of encountering this error. It's worth noting that similar issues may arise with other antivirus software, such as Avast.
Insufficient user permissions on the alt:V directory can be another potential issue. Please ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to access and modify the alt:V directory:
- Right-click on your alt:V directory
- Select "Properties"
- Select the "Security" tab
- Click on "Edit"
- Select your user account in the "Group or user names" list
- Ensure that the "Allow" checkbox is checked for "Full control"
- Click on "Apply" and "OK"
"Integrity check of resource failed"
The occurrence of this error indicates a failure in the integrity check of a resource. This can be caused by various factors, such as a faulty download, insufficient free disk space, or other related reasons.

- Start alt:V
- Go to the settings
- Use the "Delete resources" button next to the respective "Server data" entry to remove the resources
- Connect again to the server
Failed to fetch updates
This error typically occurs when there is a disruption in your connection during the alt:V client update, or when the download is blocked by antivirus software. To resolve this issue, you can try disabling your antivirus or firewall temporarily. If the problem persists, it is advisable to attempt the update at a later time.
Another potential solution is to use a VPN (see basic steps). By using a VPN, you can potentially bypass any network restrictions or interruptions that might be causing the error.
