Just to underline this: Don't run FAF as administrator.

You should fix the permissions on the files that it uses, and run it as a normal user. This goes for any program that doesn't need administrator rights...

I've taken a note of this here: https://github.com/FAForever/lobby/issues/140.

no problem

Look your screenshoot :
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:...

Because you not have right access for write.

Now i have also tried to play an online on faf and received this error message (again, just on the 64 bit system).maybe it could help identify the problem.

I have enabled the logs from the faf lobby and there is still no game.log file (before of after i try to run it), just the three i have posted before. The same for the 32 bit system where it works and i am 100% sure the setting was enabled now( on both systems).

I'm sorry to be a noob here but where more exactly do i have the option to enable game logs. I know its probably obvious but i'm really tired right now and i can't seem to find it.

Those were the logs I meant, unfortunately misspelled forever.log, sorry

Have you set Options->Settings->Save game logs and tried to run the game? Then there should very well be a game.log file.

move the stuff from \Users\*\My Documents\My Games\...
to your new partition/home folder.
There is also a file game.prefs somewhere in \Users\*\AppData

Can't run faf on 64 bit windows

2014-11-18T19:25:34+02:00

I used to have a 32 bit operating system (win 7) and i played FA running it from C/program data/FAForever/bin/forged alliance .exe to have all the colours, mods etc.
Recently i've also installed a 64 bit system on a separate partition and that exe doesn't work from here (just shows me a black screen).i can now only run it from it's default game folder where i dont have any of the changed colours and interface.
i've already tried reinstalling faf and updating my directx with no success and if i switch back to the 32 bit windows i can run that same exe file just fine.
Any idea what might be the problem?I'd really appreciate it
