Game not launching after update

[forever-nl]

After update today the game no longer 'starts' from lobby.

- Join game via 'Find games'
- Loading circle (few seconds).
- Mouse cursor on black screen.
- <nothing>
- Alt + F4 and exit, yes.

Above repeats itself, also after restarting the lobby.

Can you attach your game.log as well?

Make sure to enable it in the lobby toolbar under Options -> Settings -> Save game logs

hi guys,
I just joined in order to post here... I am having the same issue since this new patch has come through....FAF launcher works fine but once I try to join or host a game, screen goes black and nothing happens just like above^^

Any ideas as to what is going on? have tried deleting and reinstalling and still same result

(update: for those interested...somehow got it to work. First went into tutorials and was able to play the fa economy tutorial in the FAF launcher....when I clicked on the tutorial it did some more updating. After I finished the tutorial I went back and tried hosting....when I clicked on hosting a game it updated some more and then the game started one possibility for those having this problem is that the game isn't finishing all its updates for some reason or another...hope that helps)

Thanks for your post and update RevanWWJD, I tried the same steps - run a tutorial (worked) and then a multiplayer game where it indeed downloaded/updated two files (8 and 12 MB) - however no solution for me.

Seems like an issue with the in game lobby. Can you try and update from scratch? (Delete your Gamedata folder in c :\programdata\faforever)

i'll investigate this further tomorrow
