But when starting FA from Steam you have no problems?

Did you tried checking the integrity of your steam cache?

Additional troubleshooting performed:

x) Opened fa using windows debugger's logger.exe. During this I get the weirdest DLL module trying to load, then instantly unload; picture attached logger weird dll.png. Logger won't write a proper log with this program due to, in my suspicion, the weird dll name.
x+1) Disabled DEP on the executables with no success

However, this is way, way beyond my ability to troubleshoot alone. I need ideas :C

FAF/FA on win7 64bit

2014-03-05T06:06:48+02:00

I'm encountering a very frustrating issue where FA (whether through explorer or FAF lobby) refuses to launch.

No error logs are generated during any attempt to launch the game, at least by the game itself. The only log I receive is in windows event viewer (posted below) and from FAF (also posted below).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open FAF
2) Try to host game by doubleclicking Forged Alliance Forever, then clicking Host Game
3) Open task manager to watch forgedalliance.exe briefly appear
>>>FAF Log forever.log

Alternately:
1) Browse to C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin
2) Doubleclick supremecommander.exe or forged alliance.exe
3) Open task manager to watch both briefly appear (then vanish)

Here is what I get from windows event viewer every time: faf error system event.txt
Presumably (!) this is crashing on either loading the library into ram or attempting to execute a nonexistent function call?

Anyways, things I've tried:

1) Tried running the executables from cmd with the /log 'helpme.txt' switch. No luck, no logs produced
2) Tried running as admin
3) Tried logging in as admin, then clearing the read only bit, then running as admin again
4) Tried running in compat mode for sp2 and sp3
5) Tried running with /nosound
6) Disabled comodo and bitdefender
6) Let steam run its install of directX prior to launching FA, then running FAF

My hardware:
CPU: Intel core i5-3350p
Vid: Sapphire Dual X Radeon R9 270X
Ram: 8GB 1333mhz
