@Xalimur said:

You have some weird Windows issue, that the process claims it needs more permissions (admin permissions) to run the windows core dll to open the browser.

I put it on directory F but the error seems to think i put it on the C?

@Brutus5000
Any idea why i can't play offline?

You also need to update the game path in the FAF client. Only moving the game folder is not enough. The log indicates it:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

You can change it in Settings in the FAF Client. If you cannot find it, gimme a ping; I am currently on mobile.
