warning: Evaluating LazyVar failed: error evaluating lazy variable: ...data\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\maui\control.lua(36): error evaluating lazy variable: ...data\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\maui\control.lua(38): circular dependency in lazy evaluation for variable [Set lazyvar.ExtendedErrorMessages for extra trace info]
also caused from missing gfx device
My advice: (between knowledge and guesswork)
- Reboot your PC (yes this is important)
- install directX 9c
- delete game.prefs file (C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Game.prefs)
- start the game without launcher to create a user/player (doubleclick on C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe)
- start a game with FAF launcher
- enable mods
