Can't start FAF

[marsh970]

Hello, having a problem. When I go to join a game from the lobby, I get an error message that says:

"An error has occurred in FAF client. It has automatically been reported.:

I have uploaded game and forever logs. Would appreciate some help...playing on Steam is okay, but FAF is way better.

Thanks.

Peace, Andy

Code: Select all

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\fa_path.lua'

Seems like the client cannot write to fa_path.lua. Probably because you at least once launched it as administrator.

You could try remove

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\FAForever\fa_path.lua

as a first measure. If that doesn't work, uninstall FAF, delete C:\ProgramData\FAForever folder and then re-install.

(and remember to not launch it as administrator in the future)
