unable to launch any maps in FaF

[K4sP4r0V]

Since yesterday evening, I am unable to launch any maps in FaF.
It worked on Sunday without any problems.

The error log is in attachment, but it starts with:

Client Version: 2023.10.0
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unable to patch Forged Alliance to the required version due to conflicting version running

I already reinstalled the game and faf (twice) but still it does not work.faf_error.txt

Any help is much appreciated.

From your error log:

Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache\featured_mod\bin\dead6eddef8a7786ec13a327513cedfa -> C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe

Something is preventing access to the ForgedAlliance.exe file or holding the file open. First I would reboot, then disable any antivirus that could be interfering. You could also check if there's any weird permissions on either of those folders.

@redx Good morning!
Thanks for the feedback and help!
It was indeed my AV that was the blocking factor.
After I turned off AV, I got a windows firewall pop up to allow FAF.

Once this was allowed, it was working again.
Now I can play again with AV on, always a bonus!
