Error launching: Resource busy or locked

info

The client is failing to launch due to the following error or similar: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, unlink 'XXXXXXX' {"errno":-4082,"code":"EBUSY","syscall":"unlink","path":"XXXXXXX"}

info

This commonly happens if CheatBreaker has an update, and the game is already launched, or mixing between two Minecraft versions. This can also happen if another program like an AntiVirus is scanning the file.

What to do

  1. Close all instances of CheatBreaker
  2. Relaunch the game

If this continues:

  1. Close all instances of CheatBreaker
  2. Go to the path that is indicated in unlink
  3. Attempt to delete the file manually
  4. If the file is blocked, find the process that is using it.
    • 4a. If the process is an AntiVirus, wait for the scan to complete.
    • 4b. If the process is another CheatBreaker process, close it.
  5. Attempt to relaunch CheatBreaker

If this still continues:

  1. Restart your computer
  2. Attempt to relaunch CheatBreaker
