      Game won't start at all just gives me this error message. I recently tried to solve an error where it kept minimizing and I think I changed some of the priorities but honestly I have no idea what is happening now. Can anyone help?

      Client Version: 2023.11.0

        So the client runs, but the game itself just crashes instantly?

        If that is the case, you should have some game_XXXXXXXX.log files in your log folder.
        (found here)
        65be796e-1880-4b86-ae4b-7123d807395c-image.png

        That might help to understand why the game crashed

              @ceasersmum That's an Ice-Adapter log (for debugging connection problems)
              Game log should look something like this
              d7a21774-a3b6-4993-9a98-ca8895a30c0e-image.png
              and you can just drag/drop the file into the reply window (no quick reply) then we get the whole file.

                    @ceasersmum 😞 Then drop the client log in here
                    maybe it contains some more info than what you posted

                          Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe" (in directory "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin"): CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

                          Did you run the client as admin once? that might break things.
                          try deleting the directory C:\ProgramData\FAForever and restart the client with your current user, then try to launch a game.

                                So same error?
                                try running the client as admin
                                if that works it's definitely a permission issue, if that also doesn't work then there must be something else

                                        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?
