Problem with new client installation  [SOLVED]

Postby BRNKoINSANITY » 05 Feb 2016, 01:07

Copypasta of a message someone sent me.

After the update I cannot get the FAF client working,
I tried installing fresh install, It says I need an update right away then I get 2 options when i open it up, 1. repair 2. uninstall
When i hit repair, I get the message "The specified account already exists". Then it exit out..

Any ideas?

Shouldn't be a current issue. If so, please repost.

Ever since the update my client won't start supreme commander FA. When i host, join other global games, or ladder it says updating files and updating GAMEDATA, like normal. Once it is finished nothing happens. I even checked with the task manager and nothing happened. This problem only has occurred since the update. When i click on a match where i do not have the map it installs the map like normal. So it must be one of the final steps of the lobby. I also checked supreme commander on steam to see if that works, and it did worked fine so it must be the FAF client. I have seen 1 other person complain about this in the chat so far. Also in the FIND GAMES spot the lobby normally displays all the players and balance when you hover over the map, normally it would include your name in bold letters, for me it doesn't (not that it matters just putting it out there) Thank you for your time and i hope the problem cease to exist soon.

Hi - I have also had problems since update. Firstly it would come up with a list of SQL type queries with a failed to load message. Then when I ran the program as administrator it worked. Now the program wants me to update to latest client (even with fresh install etc) each time I start and offers same repair/uninstall message. The Repair fails as account already exists.

Any help please? Missing my FAF time... :)
