@mostlostnoob True! All fixed, cheers

Yep, I'm in, thanks.

I'm having the same / similar issue on version 2023.11.2. Could still play this morning and didnt change anything.

@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?

@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)

@Nex, my mistake. I didn't see the folder because it was hidden so presumed you were reciting the file path from memory. Whoops.

Either way, I deleted the whole FAForever folder, tried again (it downloaded the relevant files again) but it didn't work. I've just removed and reinstalled FAF after deleting that folder again but it still isn't working.

When trying to create that practise custom game I get ""game could not be created" followed by:

@Nex,

I've managed to sort it, thank you for your help.

I think it was the forged alliance exe file within the "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin" location, I went into properties there and allowed all permissions for all users (I think it was the user with my email as opposed to my laptop login user).
I tried allowing all permissions for all users on the FAForever folder before this but it didn't seem to work.
I had to clear the gamedata folder again too.
