Unable to start up FAF.

[ChocolateDelux3]

So this happened randomly one day everything is alright FAF is working just fine then I tried to open FAF and I've been getting a Java start up error everytime. I have uninstalled and re-installed FAF several times, I've also manually undated all my drives neither of those worked so i tried searching for java itself but was unable to locate it even with going to my file explorer.
what the error start says:



Please any help I've been playing on the steam version of supreme commander forged alliance forever for the past 2 months because of this and im just to worn out with there being no one on that one.

[PhilipJFry]

please copy and paste the error in here
preferably with some spoiler tag or as a uploaded txt file

[ChocolateDelux3]

I hope that helps thank you so much.

[PhilipJFry]

please look through these issues https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... ype=Issues

didn't have time to read the logs properly but it might be caused by permission issues https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... -241365194

please delete

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache

and then try again

[ChocolateDelux3]

So I looked through all those posts and I went to C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache and deleted everything also deleted FAF and reinstalled it again yet im still getting the same pop up then I went back are read again and saw that maybe I tried to start the client with admin privileges. Would you know how I could log into as an admin or log out as an admin because I didnt find any steps on how to do that.

[PhilipJFry]

running something with admin rights in windows refers to user permissions - not what kind of user logs in to faf

Tbh i don't know too much about the java client but you could try the newer version. Maybe your bug has been fixed in that already: https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... 0.8.0-beta
