@magge said in Solutions for common errors with the FAF client launcher or supreme commander:

Reason

Program is blocked or has wrong user rights

Make sure security software is not blocking the client
Make sure your windows account has rights to run the software
Remove "C:\ProgramData\FAForever" folder; and reinstall FAF
For testing purpose, run the client with admin rights.

@magge Thankyou for your response.

I restarted my computer twice. I also re-installed FAF. I also, checked my firewall 'allowed programmes list' as with all the updates something may have snagged on there. It now connects fine.
Thanks for your quick response.
