Latest Update Doesn't Work/Connect [SOLVED]

[hornyRobot]

Hi, I just updated the FAF client as prompted on the log in and when I open it after the update it doesn't connect to the server I just see the black black/empty window where it should be "whats new" section and it doesn't connect to any other sections so I assume it doesn't connect to the servers.

In the logs I only have "forever" log as I tried reinstalling FAF client to see if it would fix the issue and cleaned everything out before doing that.

Same here. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the FAF client and clearing the cache and settings.

Do you guys happen to have any virus scanners that removed uid.dll from your installation folder?

i have the same problem, i tried reinstalling but problem persists. I only have standard anti virus of windows 10

I've still got it:



If my virus scanner did anything with it then it certainly didn't pop up with any kind of warning.

In this case, you must be having a different error. Please post your logs.

Try installing this: http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download ... px?id=8328 (Microsoft.com is unfortunately having issues at the moment, so at the time of writing link does not load. But it's the visual C++ 2010 runtime)

Please don't post logs like this -- attach them as a text file or upload to pastebin.

You're having the same issue. Try doing what my above post says.

Yeah having problems downloading the C++ runtime from Microsoft as you say. Here's my log in the meantime.
