Error popping up every time I try to launch FaF.

Postby spice » 27 Aug 2015, 12:05

So I've just recently installed FaF and everytime I try to launch it up, I get this message: http://i.imgur.com/MrL7ogi.png

I tried my best to search through the forums, but I found nothing to help me out.

You've previously had your client launched using administrative priveleges, but aren't any longer.

Try deleting your c:\programdata\faforever\logs directory.

Yep! FaF now works, but the SupremeCommander Client with the Sorian AI and what-not, doesn't.

Little late but I'm having the same error code popping up. I'm running windows 10 and I'm pretty lost as to what to do.
