Client Crashing on startup

Postby broseidon » 10 May 2019, 19:17

As the title says, My client is crashing on startup, and throws the following error:

This solution /viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17498 doesn't seem to be working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So to clarify you deleted client.prefs in this folder? C/Users/Username/Appdata/Roaming/Forged Alliance Forever/

The errors seem to be originating from that so I just want to double check you deleted it.

Correct, I tried deleting it then relaunching the client multiple times, but I still receive the same error.

I'm lost, then. Can you uninstall and purge all the files again, the client.prefs and everything inside C:\ProgramData\FAForever

Restart pc

Reinstall client and give the error again if it fails
