@kaprob Do u have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2019 ? old ones is not necessary but... who knows
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
@Eternal after an upgrade of visual c++ 2019 to 14.28 same issue persists unfortunately
@kaprob Python client 0.19.13 < install this client then, i have no idea.
@Eternal Is that a alpha/beta version of FAF client?
Old client, that is lighter and faster than current FAF client
@Eternal
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.
@Sheikah 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?
@Reckless_Charger had a look and all is fine, should have full permissions
@kaprob My bad, version of the client i have sent to you is bugged. Try this one 0.19.11
@Eternal 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
