[new lobby] FA crashes on start

[Raging_Squirrel]

here are the logs

Okay, this is strange. It's a bug I fixed, and it shouldn't occur anyway.

It's an error in the MessageBox that pops up to tell you that you already have FA running.

Do you doubleclick the links or something?

[Raging_Squirrel]

I doubleclick the swords

[Raging_Squirrel]

Ok I solved it.
Joined a game, it did update. Then doubleclicking the swords worked.

It try to write files in your program files game folder. Shouldn't happen.

I guess thygrrr will look into it, in the meantimes, you can launch FA Lobby as administrator.
