For the second error:

@chamone said in keep getting two errors when trying to join a game or create a custon game:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

Probably related to user account permissions or/and security software is interfering.

@chamone said in keep getting two errors when trying to join a game or create a custon game:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Process.onExit()" because "process" is null

First error: No clue, something with the process went downhill. Maybe PC couldn't exit the process properly.

[BlackYps]

"process" is null

That is the relevant part of the first error. For some reason the game cannot be started. Probably also because of security software

[ChAmone]

@blackyps i ran the game as admin and it worked. iv tried adding faf client to the exception list and it didnt make a difference. its working at the moment ill see how it goes.

[ChAmone]

@magge not a clue. i ran the game as admin and it worked. no idea

[Nex]

@chamone maybe the permissions on the faf directory are wrong and it can only be opened/run by an admin?
fixing that should be the better solution as running any program that doesn't need it with admin rights is a bad idea.

FAF runs fine from Program Files with only read and execute permissions. That is the default install location and the default permissions.
