FAF doesnt lauch

Postby LimeZ3 » 04 Jul 2018, 18:41

The problem started like 2 mouths ago
I didn't do anything with it because... who knows

I had some kind of this problem always since im in faf, but it could have been solved by multiple re-starting the faf client
Now it doesnt work completely
The problem itself is that game doesnt lauch. I click on gamelobby in lobbyclient, faf updates game data and then nothing (screenshot No.1)

There's no gamelogs because I have reinstalled faf earlier and deleted all of the files so I can say it's clear installation... and the game hasn't launched since then
Also, I'm able to watch replays and chat is working properly in both clients

Upd:
I don't really understand how it works

When i lauched downlords client today as administrator it suddenly found proxy connection (even though i dont use proxy) and i could lauch the game
I tried the same with official client and it didnt work out

I saw people saying it's bad to lauch faf as administrator but it's the only way how it works for me
How do i fix it?

Don't install it using administrator rights. Also you didn't include the java (downlord) client's log file.
I cannot say a lot from the image you posted else than that FAF had no idea what connection it could use so it failed to start a game.

Proxy connection means you did not open a port for FA so the server will proxy all traffic for you.
