Code: Select all
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs

just to explain:

Code: Select all
IOError [Errno 13] permission denied:
C:\\ProgrammData\\FAForever\\logs\forever.log


This happens if you start FAForever as admin, and then as normal user.

Running FAForever as Admin, will also save the "forever.log" with admin rights.

If you now start FAForever as normal user, you don't have the (admin) permission to open / save the file.

Maybe You will have problems while updating or loading pictures to the cache in the future, because there could be more files saved with admin rights;
If so:
1 .Deinstall FAForever
2. Delete manualy the folder Programmdata/faforever (this will delete all files with admin rights, because the deinstaller also can't remove admin files)
3. Install again.
