Thank you! Its all working now.
For future reference: this path C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\ won't get you anywhere, best is to manually navigate it to where your installation should be.
/Close as resolved.

Code:: EXCEPTION: [WinError 5] Zugriff verweigert: 'C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\bin\\BsSndRpt.exe'

1. Please uninstall the FAF client.
2. Delete manually the folder C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\ (this will delete all files and all permissions)
3. Reinstall the FAF client.
4. Don't start the client as admin.

If you start a programm with admin rights, it will write all init files, updates and cache with admin rights.
After this you can't run the programm as normal user because you don't have the permission to change files with admin privileges.
Then you get the "Zugriff verweigert" error.

Thanks, after uninstalling my AV (ZoneAlarm for future reference) and running Downlords FaF in admin mode, the game now starts.
The standard FaF client still returns this when I attempt to start a coop mission

Code:: Traceback (most recent call last): File "src\coop\_coopwidget.py", line 196, in coopListDoubleClicked File "src\fa\check.py", line 133, in check File "src\fa\updater.py", line 299, in run File "src\fa\updater.py", line 571, in doUpdate File "src\fa\updater.py", line 763, in failureDialog Exception: Update started at 2018-10-30 18:58:05 Using appdata: C:\ProgramData\FAForever Connected to update server at 2018-10-30 18:58:05 EXCEPTION: [WinError 5] Zugriff verweigert: 'C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\bin\\BsSndRpt.exe' Disconnected from server at 2018-10-30 18:58:05 Runtime info: FAF Username: Mattes FAF Version: 0.18.1+3081 FAF Environment: production FAF Directory: C:\ProgramData\FAForever FA Path: : G:/Steam/steamapps/common/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance Home Directory: C:/Users/Mattes/Documents Platform: Windows-10-10.0.17134 Uname: uname_result(system='Windows', node='DESKTOP-8RTIJNP', release='10', version='10.0.17134', machine='AMD64', processor='Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel')

Unfortunatly, when using Downlords FaF client everything is black when the game gets in focus. Tabbing in and out shifts it from the standard gray back to black in approx 3 seconds. Any ideas?

sorry for not responding in a timely fashion...
your error sounds like you have some permission issue

this can be caused by messed up file/folder permissions (happens when you have run the client in admin mode previously) or by some overprotective Antivirus

Installed the Original Client, got this instead:

Fatal Error during game startup

2018-10-26T16:23:25+02:00

Hi,

Whenever I attempt to join a game using Downlords FaF client, Forged Alliance crashes immediatly with this error:

Code:: Failed to setup initial search path. Program : C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe Cmd line arguments : /init init.lua /nobugreport /log C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs\game.log /gpgnet 127.0.0.1:59930 /mean 1500.0 /deviation 500.0 /savereplay gpgnet://127.0.0.1:15001/8741780/Mattes.SCFAreplay /country DE /numgames 0 Callstack: Unknown symbol (address 0x008cef50) Last 100 lines of log... warning: Running "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init.lua" failed: cannot read C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\..\fa_path.lua: No such file or directory stack traceback: [C]: in function `dofile' C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init.lua(2): in main chunk

I have seen one other topic on this, but unfortunately it didn't work for me.
If you need any additional logs or files, let me know.

Sincerely,
Mattes
