The lobby is unable to write in ProgramData for some reasons.

[evilultima]

Could you expand? Is there a fix?

[Ze_PilOt]

I don't know. You have a permission problem, but I have no idea how that happen, and so how to revert it.

[evilultima]

I think it may possibly be to the patch I have installed so I don't have to find the disk every time I use it as I don't want to carry it with me everywhere i go :/

I also have supreme commander original with a patch so i may revert changes in the forged alliance but keep supreme commander and see what happens.

I'll let you know how this turns out asap

Same problem, same answer.

The lobby can't write in c:\ProgramData\FAForever\ and it must be able to do so.

You can try deleting all files/directories there.

I realise this is an old post, but if anyone else has this issue then what ZEP says above will work. I renamed the FAForeve directory in ProgramData and then launched FAF again and it worked fine after
