    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      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.
