Ok, been awhile as i haven't had much time to get involved again.

these are my logs:
forever.log: http://pastebin.com/scrLQ2Ce
uid.log:http://pastebin.com/fHxiYSdf

Although i enabled game.log, it doesn't get created, so i guess the process doesn't get really far...

thanks again for your help!

I think someone fixed it by disabling aero.

I actually already searched quite alot through the forums (this and others).
And indeed, alot of people have solved their issues by applying one of the actions i list above.
But my issue is not going anywhere, and i am running out of ideas, and out of forums to read.

So that's why i'm posting, and that's why my title is what it is.

I'll keep searching for a fix, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
W.

No google desktop here.

When i launch the replay, it lets me download update and/or maps, then i see a forgedalliance.exe for a few secs in the task manager, and then it's gone again.

steam version is known to crash when having stuff like google desktop however, try to start the game by opening a replay from the replay vault and tell if that works

Hi,

I used to play a couple of years ago back on GPG. After that I didn't play for a couple of years, and now recently discovered the game on steam again. put in my supcom key, and boom... both SC and FA were enabled. (great, as i lost my FA key)
I was able to play both on my old desktop PC (core 2duo).

Now i have a new (work)laptop - lenovo W530:
- core i7 - 3720QM
- 16GB ram
- quadro K1000M

But i am unable to launch my steam version of FA. While SC launches fine...
whether i click the supcom exe, launch it from steam, or launch it from faf, my mouse pointer changes for a couple of secs (like it is starting something), and then returns to normal. nothing happens..

After enabling the "save game logs", i see that no game.log is created in the C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs directory.

What I've tried (searching around on various forums):
- install FAF and use that .exe
- put the .exe's in compatibility mode xp-sp2, xp-sp3
- run as admin
- install all C++ redistributables
- install directx
- update graphic drivers
- uninstall and clean everything (faf, steam and fa), and reinstall

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
I 'd love to get back into FA, especially as now on FAF, it seems quite alive (more alive then i remember gpgnet to be)

Thanks!
W.
