weird you dont have the log.txt ….
sounds like your doing something majorly wrong or overcomplicating a simplifying the whole thing…
My method (PC):-
1- turn off/pause AV
2- download rars
3- mark folder as excluded in av
4- extract
5- mark extracted (install folder) safe in av
6-play
(or skip 3 and 5) and download from trusted sources such as Arcade Punks
