    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!

      Problem: Unable to install FAF client 1.4.0
      Extracting Files..
      ucrtbase.dll

      Error Message:
      ucrtbase.dll Could not create this file. Shall I try again?

      Trying again doesn't work
      Attempted a reboot

      Running as administrator
      Edition: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
      Version 20H2
      OS Build: 19042.804
      Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

      Is there a way to extract more information from the error, so I can figure out the problem?
      Anyone else encountered similar issues on this?

              Yes I have both x86 and x64, looks like I am on version 14.24.28127.4
              a quick google shows a 14.28 version so I'll try an update

                    Is that a alpha/beta version of FAF client?

                      Old client, that is lighter and faster than current FAF client

                        I did try your idea of installing older clients from 1.4 down to 1.0 but all have the same error 😞

                        So 0.19 has installed and I've linked my steam account etc..
                        but I'm unable to launch a game 😞

                          @kaprob it appears this is just an overall permissions error for your account. You can try installing either client in a different location that does not require admin permissions. OR check the permissions on your file system and FAF install.

                            Unfortunately I'm clueless at this point, I'm installing as admin with an admin account and I've tried installing the FAF client under documents in the case it was having issues with Program Files but no luck

                              You shouldn't install as an admin. Can you check permissions on the FAForever folder in ProgramData (hidden folder NOT Program Files) or delete that folder before you reinstall?

                                had a look and all is fine, should have full permissions

                                    This version install and updates the game 🙂 was able to playa quick game against AI successfully
                                    Thanks for the help all.
                                    Hopefully a developer will later be able to tell me how to debug the ucrtbase.dll issue so no one else has this problem
