Downlord client won't launch

[Janikens]

Hoping someone can help me with this!

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 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 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!

Does disabling Anti-Virus help? If not, you could try the new test version from here:

Log looks normal (except for ending after it started). Can you please run the client in a terminal (execute the executable file from the install directory) and give us the output of that?

Additionally, are you looking for this py client ? https://github.com/FAForever/client/releases

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.

did try a clean reinstall of the client (uninstall the client itself via the windows settings and wipe the client prefs in %appdata%)?

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

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!

It's okay to download it. The boot loader comes up as usual for me too.
