@blackhart All versions of SCFA have a difficult time with using network storage systems like OneDrive, Dropbox, etc..

To get around this for FAF, you'll need to:

go to FAF client > top left menu > Settings > Forged Alliance Forever > Maps and Mods Location > Choose... navigate to a location outside of OneDrive either select an already existing folder or create a new folder for where FAF will store your maps/mods & then select the new folder double-check the new path to ensure that it's not in OneDrive

2024-04-23T22:50:47.702+03:00 DEBUG 1088 --- [FAF Client] [JavaFX Application Thread] c.faforever.client.steam.SteamService : Steam API stopped

omg=/ if steam app closed, faf not working. thx

This should now be fixed 👍

@karbonforms said in FAF Client: Nothing works.:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "rundll32": CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "rundll32": CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

These lines suggest that you have insufficent permissions to run whatever was passed to rundll32, I'm guessing that's launching the browser
or
You haven't linked the FAF binary correctly.

@mostlostnoob said in Problem when authorizing Client - ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED:

@samae1 Try either changing the Default Browser in Windows Settings &/or clearing your browser cache.

@Samae1 May I suggest Vivaldi.
I know Windows is getting increasingly obtuse with how you go about changing your default applications like the browser.

Still an issue. Any update?

Well, we found the problem and it was the anti-virus he had, everything works fine now, thanks to those who have readed my post 🙂

Короче я исправил баг
В командной строке ( через администратора)
Я вёл sfc /scannow

Thanks, magge!

@rumtin most likely some Antivirus/Firewall setting is blocking FAF. Check both and include exceptions for FAF/SC.

@diobolical OK, 2 things to do for further troubleshooting:

Go to your Steam SCFA folder > DirectX, then run the DXSETUP.exe installer to re-install the DirectX files that SCFA uses (just in case those weren't installed correctly). Go to Steam > Library > right-click SCFA > Properties > General > Launch Options > copy/paste this into that field:

/log "A:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\logs\steamfa.log"

I grabbed that file path from your client.log, so you'll need to change it if that's not the correct path to your Steam SCFA install.

Try Steam SCFA again after doing the above.

ok, I figured it out.
For anyone else: You have to link GOG account with FAForever using the website, not using the GOG Galaxy client. Once I figured that out, i was able to get it completed.

Got it working, turns out it was an issue with my connection. Feel like a moron, but thanks for helping 🙂

@mostlostnoob sorry, that's a missreading of what's written.

the operative "it" in the context of this thread was the FAF crash.

I said "running it from steam". which implies it did run.

@deribus thank you very much

GLHF!

@mostlostnoob btw about exception in windows firewall, it's asks is it file/folder/task what should i choose, cause i've chosen folder and add exception for faf client folder
