Uncaught Exception when I try to host

Postby Marcusaralius76 » 13 Aug 2017, 22:50

Note: The info I received from the error message is posted at the bottom of the post.

For some reason, the shortcut to FAF stopped working for me, so I had to reinstall the game. Upon doing so, I could no longer install the client onto my second harddrive because it couldn't find F:/FAF/FAForever.exe, so I installed it on my main drive and get this error message any time I attempt to host, join, or watch a replay. Since it started, I have reinstalled once, cleared game files, set to run in administrative mode and compatibility mode.

Playing on Windows 10 64 Bit.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "src\games\hostgamewidget.py", line 118, in hosting
File "src\fa\check.py", line 129, in check

UPDATE: It was Avast not allowing the server to update. How do I add [Solved] flare?
