FAF Client crashes on launch / Startup error
-
Hello there,
I just bought Supreme commander FA today and I installed FAF. After the installation opended FAF and I could see the loading screen for a few seconds, then it crashes.
The text is quite long and I dont understand anything.Does anyone know a solution?
-
@anybody00 Did you follow the steps I stated here about deleting the FAF Client folder & installing from scratch?
-
Unfortunately it didn't work, there is still the same pop up with Startup Error with the text again as long as before.
Before I installed Supreme Commander FA I had problems with launching the first version of Supreme Commander, that's why I bought SC FA which works.
Does this problem perhaps also have something to do with this?
Or what else could I try to run FAF?Thank you for your support @MostLostNoob

@anybody00 Can you open Run (Windows + R) & go to the following:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logsIf there's a
client.logfile in there, then please click the Reply button at the bottom of this page between the
(View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. Next, drag/drop that client.log file into the Reply message window so those that can help (most likely not me) have that data to look at. -
There's just a client.prefs file in
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\
i'm not able to drop into this box:[client.prefs](Invalid file type. Allowed types are: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .txt, .log, .gif, .webp, .csv, .pdf, .xls, .doc, .zip, .7z, .rar, .dds, .jpeg)
There aren't any hidden fils as well, I have this programm called TOTAL CMD64 which would show me any hidden fils.
I'm not sure if this helps buthere is the Text from client.prefs:

hi i have same problem, yesterday first. when i run online game

-
-
Whats next to do?
-
i only instaled driver graphic, restart pc its all. before instaled i searched all "forever" directory on "C" storage and delete
-
@Anybody00 Can you please copy the text from the error message & save it in a text file, then post that file to this thread per the previous steps so those that can help have that to review?
-
The Error message
java.lang.RuntimeException Exceptio.txt -
Which OS and security solution do you use? @Anybody00
Maybe it is related to user permission rights or security software is interfering. -
My pc runs on windows, Edition Windows 11 Pro, Version: 21H2 and I'm using Avast Free Antivirus.
My pc is still at version 21H2 and when I check for updates there's nothing new shown. Last time I tried installing such an update it didn't work. Could that be a problem? -
I bet all my channel points from FAF Twitch, that Avast is causing issues. Try to whitelist/deactivate/uninstall for testing purpose and try again with FAF.
-
Still didn't work unfortunatly, I did remove Avast and I reinstalled FAF.
Here's the error message
java.lang.RuntimeException Exceptio.txt -
@anybody00 did you restart your PC? I remember that that fixed it for someone with with a similar issue as Avast was still lurking around after it got uninstalled
-
Yes, I did restart my pc. After that I looked for files named with avast and I removed them too.
