You managed to run it in a terminal, please copy us the output it produced there. You can either do this manually or add this to the end of the command to pipe it into a file:

Code:: executable.exe > output.txt 2>&1

So I downloaded and installed the Downlord client when it first came out. Occasionally I'd get an issue where it wouldn't launch properly so I'd just use the legacy python client. I recently reformatted my PC and lost the install and have learned it's no longer available for download.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Downlord client multiple times, this issue has happened before and continued happening after a windows walmart survey reformat.

The boot loader comes up as usual, when that disappears the login screen flashes very quickly then is gone. I have checked and no process is running in the task manager after this happens. This happen every time right now, I haven't successfully launched the client.

I have only uploaded downlords-faf-client.log as I haven't been able to play a game
filehippo on this install of windows so I don't have the other logs generated yet.

System:
Ryzen 5 2600
Gigabyte 2080 Ti
Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2 500GB (OS)
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB

Client installed on OS SSD, game is installed on 1TB SSD.

Any help appreciated!

Not sure what you mean exactly sorry man! I executed the client via CMD and it did the same thing. Boot loader, login screen flashed up then closed.

Thanks for legacy client link! I'd still like to fix downlords if possible!

Yes I've done that multiple times. This is a fresh install of windows too!

Will do!

Thanks for the python Client link. Is it still supported?

I'd prefer to get the Java downlord client working. It's a big improvement.
