Getting error: The game could not be started
-
I cannot launch a game from the FAF Client. I was having issues with the game running god slow / crashing on my computer, and after removing/reinstalling everything finally thought it was working but now it will not launch.
Error message is attached - faf-client-error.txt
I have removed the FAF client, and delted folders. Also removed Sup Com and made sure all gone. Reinstalled both and still get the error after it downloads the files/mods etc
If I run the .exe from the bin folder it launches so I very confused. On my old computer it just worked
Don't know if this is needed but:
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v3 @ 3.50GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 24H2
Installed on 15/01/2025
OS build 26100.2894
Graphics Nvidia 980Ti 6gb -
Ok got this sorted. When I was trying to deal with the performance issues, I did once run the game as admin. Noting the warning I then delated the ProgramData folder for FAF before one of the many reinstalls.
On a whim I tried to run as admin and again and game worked. So removed FAF, made sure folders gone. Did a cclean reg tidy up, and reinstalled and now working. Back to the performance issues but thats a seperate issue.
