      I have installed the latest FAF update and now I find that I am not being able to run the FAF client. I have double clicked on the program on the desktop as usual but nothing works. It does not even register as a process in task manager?

      Would there be any way to get this running again?

        Do you have a client.log file in your log folder?

                Here's a solution for you - download version 5.0 and reinstall. Here is the link https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2023.5.0

                    "For those who are running on windows 7 changing the .vmoptions file in your client installation and changing the line -XX:+UseZGC to -XX:+UseG1GC should allow the client to run"

                    Would there be a way to simplify this? 😂

                      I have already rolled back the version after seeing that this works for now.

                      Thanks!
