Permission Denied FAForever.exe.log

[theManfet]

Already solved. Just for information puroposes.

My solution didn't work, went with the old solution and I am now executing FAForever.exe as admin.

Had the same problem like there (short of the virus - never had a virus on my PCs )
when starting got an Error with Permission Denied to open FAForever.exe.log
I didn't do a reinstall.
I gave user full control of the FAForever.exe.log (it's in the main FAF install folder)
after that I got an error with the info that the error code is in FAForever.exe.log
The error code:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 44, in <module>
  File "util\__init__.pyc", line 146, 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'

Gave user full control of forever.log and now it seems to work.

Hope I could or will help someone with this information

Don't do that.

Also, post the log so I can fix the issue.

[pip]

I got the same issue, occasionally.

This is unrelated.

The OP has that problem because his faforever.log was written while in admin mode. Deleting it will solve the problem.

The error you have when closing FAF is another thing.
The reason is unknown to me, and without that faforever.exe.log, I won't be able to fix it.
