Cannot connect to a game

[Aulex]

Everytime I try to join a match I get this error

I tried reinstalling FAF but no luck

This may have something to do with the fact that I use windows 8, but had been working for a few weeks and now suddenly it stops working. Any idea for a fix or what's going on.

Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/h5EAPCem

and here is the actual error I get in the windows debugger:

Windows 8 is not supported. Maybe it works, maybe not, but there is no official support.

[Aulex]

Well do you have any idea what this error is about so I could try and resolve it myself because it was working prior for 2 weeks and I was using windows 8.

[Ze_PilOt]

No.

[Aulex]

Ok thanks for the quick response

[Softly]

Is it the same with all maps or just some?

[Aulex]

It's the same with all the maps, but the only difference is the address is different in the first line.

I am able to download maps from FAF's server so I'm guessing it's a local issue. Do you know how FAF launches forged alliance because it's probably having an issue with the cmd it launches it with as indicated by the 4th line

[rootbeer23]

try executing c:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe and play a sandbox skirmish.
does this work?

[Aulex]

No it doesn't, forged alliance gives me a crash report to send even if I try running the game with compatibility settings and running it as an admin


Also, I did reinstall forged alliance, but not luck (i'm using boxed version if that helps) and I also tried to clearing FAF's cache, settings and game files and no luck either.

Also get this portion in some of my errors:
