Can't start FAF

[Dr_Doolittle]

Hi all,

When i start the client, a window appears saying 'errors occured' and referring to the log file. This is what the FaForever.exe.log says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 16, in <module>
File "util\__init__.pyc", line 119, in <module>
File "logging\__init__.pyc", line 1511, in basicConfig
File "logging\__init__.pyc", line 893, in __init__
File "logging\__init__.pyc", line 912, in _open
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\logs\\forever.log'

I run Windows 7 64bit with SP1 and .NET 4.

I have reinstalled FAF client, but I still got the same problem...

OError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\logs\\forever.log'

Means that the lobby doesn't have writing permission to that file.
That is not normal.

Try to erase it manually.

I suspect that you've tried to run the lobby as admin in the past. NEVER do that.

I dont remember running it as admin.

I deleted the file, and it works. Thanks a lot!
