Getting an error when trying to start FAF [SOLVED]

[lFatBOY2l]

Attaching the error report down there!

Could you guys help me out?

Go here:

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs

and delete forever.log
Don't run FAF as admin

Only deleting "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs" is not enough.

because you started FAForever a Admin, everything that is saved in this mode will be protected if you use faforever as normal user.
Not only FAForever\logs. You also will maybe have errors like this:

Code: Select all

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\fa_path.lua'

This wont crash the game (only log will show this), but you will never get a a updated version of "fa_path.lua" because you can't overwrite it.

To make a clean install please uninstall FAForever, then manual delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\FAForever". This will delete all files with Admin rights.
Then reinstall FAForever and you are good to go.

Oh hello there! Have quite overread the "Dont start as admin"

... So I gotta reinstall the whole programm you say? Lemme try that out!

1. Uninstall FAForever
2. Most imortant: manually delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\FAForever". Only this will delete all files with Admin rights.
3. Reinstall FAForever.
