I'd installed Console2.exe recently and it added its directory to my Environment Variables. Inside the directory? Freeimage.dll, but a different version than what FAF uses.

Since I need that path in my environment variables, I just upgraded console's version of freeimage.dll and everything seems to be running fine.

Consider this solved.

The FAForever.lb file exists in the location mentioned in the log. The client is freshly re-installed using FAForeverLobby-0.8.54.exe on Windows 8 64-bit. I had reinstalled in a new location after the client refused to open, with a different dialog box about its inability to write to log for I assume the same reasons. Repairing the installation didn't do anything.

I haven't installed any major updates to my system since the last time I was able to run the client, maybe 4 days ago.

Does anyone have experience with fixing this type of python library issue? I've seen in a similar problem pop up in the forums already, and I've seen mentions that FreeImagePy, or at least FAF's use of it, has problems using the new version of FreeImage (3.15.4). I've tried the earliest version of FreeImage.dll I could find, which was 3.13.0 but the same problem happened, with a similar log.

Another search I tried led to be some forum, when someone had a similar issue in FAF, that mentioned that FreeImagePy uses freeimage.dll v3.9.x but I could not find anything earlier than 3.13.0.
