      There's just a client.prefs file in
      %USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\
      i'm not able to drop into this box:

      [client.prefs](Invalid file type. Allowed types are: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .txt, .log, .gif, .webp, .csv, .pdf, .xls, .doc, .zip, .7z, .rar, .dds, .jpeg)

      There aren't any hidden fils as well, I have this programm called TOTAL CMD64 which would show me any hidden fils.

      I'm not sure if this helps buthere is the Text from client.prefs:

                      @Anybody00 Can you please copy the text from the error message & save it in a text file, then post that file to this thread per the previous steps so those that can help have that to review?

                          Which OS and security solution do you use? @Anybody00
                          Maybe it is related to user permission rights or security software is interfering.

                            My pc runs on windows, Edition Windows 11 Pro, Version: 21H2 and I'm using Avast Free Antivirus.
                            My pc is still at version 21H2 and when I check for updates there's nothing new shown. Last time I tried installing such an update it didn't work. Could that be a problem?

                              I bet all my channel points from FAF Twitch, that Avast is causing issues. Try to whitelist/deactivate/uninstall for testing purpose and try again with FAF.

                                Still didn't work unfortunatly, I did remove Avast and I reinstalled FAF.

                                Here's the error message
                                java.lang.RuntimeException Exceptio.txt

                                  @anybody00 did you restart your PC? I remember that that fixed it for someone with with a similar issue as Avast was still lurking around after it got uninstalled

                                    Yes, I did restart my pc. After that I looked for files named with avast and I removed them too.

                                      To be sure, remove those folders before you reinstall FAF:

                                      
C:\ProgramData\FAForever

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

                                      And double check after the installation that you have the necessary permissions to access and read the files/directory.

                                      Your last log has the same error as your first one:

                                      Caused by: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache\stylesheets: Die Datei oder das Verzeichnis ist beschädigt und nicht lesbar

                                      (ENG translation: The file or directory is corrupted and not readable)

                                        Hi,
                                        removing the two folders did help.
                                        (Actually the FAF folder wasn't deletable in any way so I just renamed it)

                                        I can now launch FAF normally.
                                        Thank you for your support:) ❤

                                          It is good that the main problem was fixed but it's concerning that you couldn't delete the folder: it's possible that you had some process still running or your disk might be damaged.

                                          Consider a disk checker scan just to know if you need to replace your drive.

                                            Comment that After having installed SupCom FA, i had issue with this:
                                            C:\ProgramData\FAForever

                                            %LOCALAPPDATA%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

                                            Because 1) a steam install lua asks for that gas powered folder and precents FA from launching. Editing that lua file and removing those 2 lines allows normal startup of FA from steam, but the FAF client kept crashing (I did delete it and re-install it).

                                            After reading this thread, i noticed that I had a previous installation of FAF in 2020 in a windows 7 era, so I deleted the program data folder, but the issue remains.

                                            Now I am here.
