        mh nothing out of the ordinary in there
        try deleting/renaming your game.prefs file
        (found here)
        1de6f08b-dced-4509-b45c-400545e8ca89-image.png

        Maybe the settings are corrupt
        Then try to launch the game through steam once.

            @ceasersmum isn't that log older than the other one?

            Did starting it through steam work normally?

              @nex That was the newest log I checked the time stamp on it. Yes opens completely normally and works through steam

                @ceasersmum mh just confused by the game number, which I thought count up and 12>04
                but whatever.

                mh can you get the most recent client log then?

                Also since running as admin worked you should check the permissions on C:\ProgramData\FAForever and make sure you have read/write permissions there with your current user and you can execute the .exe in the bin/ folder.

                  I have managed to fix it. Thank you for your amazing help. I really appreciate it as I didn't know where to start. I was able to change the settings in the properties section of the programme that I had changed when trying to get it to stop minimizing and these were what was preventing it from loading. Thank you again!

                    @ceasersmum ah cool.
                    Always a bit hard to do remote assistance without knowing what's going on everwhere.😅

                      @ceasersmum Hi, I'm having the same issue at the moment. What settings did you change to get it to work?

                        I am also having the same issue, thank you. Have already deleted everything (FAF and supcom) and reinstalled.

                        The same error:
                        Client Version: 2023.11.1
                        java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Process.onExit()" because "process" is null

                        I think maybe the 2023.11 update initially failed in an odd and unrecoverable way, which seems like the root cause. I could not launch after the update so had to delete and reinstall everything to even launch the client.

                          @reducedsep @gvibes It was determined that there was an issue with the new managed Coturn server. That issue has been fixed & you should be able to play now

                                    @speedrock It should work again. It was a server hiccup.

                                      Hi, I seem to be having a similar issue I think.

                                      I had also tried to run the game in admin mode shortly before this happened, so perhaps that is the reason?

                                      Here's my error:

                                        @jacko94 running the client in admin mode will cause it to create the game files with admin permissions, preventing any normal user from accessing them.
                                        You will need to remove the FAF game files (C:\ProgramData\FAForever) and have the client download them again (without running in admin mode)

                                          Hi @Nex ,
                                          I've been fiddling, I can start a game and play it (only a custom game against AI as a test) if I start as Admin, but yes trying to start as a normal user doesn't work. I deleted the FAF game files (the whole folder - C:\Program Files\FAF Client) then reinstalled from my internet downloads but the issue persists. Any advice?

                                          N 1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                            @jacko94 the folder "C:\Program Files\FAF Client" is the client. You need to clear the game files that are downloaded by the launcher. Those are located in "C:\ProgramData\FAForever" (ProgramData is a hidden folder, so copy pasting the path into the explorer is the easiest way to get there)
