                  @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?

                      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.

                                  To be sure, remove those folders before you reinstall FAF:

                                  
C:\ProgramData\FAForever

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

                                  And double check after the installation that you have the necessary permissions to access and read the files/directory.

                                  Your last log has the same error as your first one:

                                  Caused by: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache\stylesheets: Die Datei oder das Verzeichnis ist beschädigt und nicht lesbar

                                  (ENG translation: The file or directory is corrupted and not readable)

                                    Hi,
                                    removing the two folders did help.
                                    (Actually the FAF folder wasn't deletable in any way so I just renamed it)

                                    I can now launch FAF normally.
                                    Thank you for your support:) ❤

                                      It is good that the main problem was fixed but it's concerning that you couldn't delete the folder: it's possible that you had some process still running or your disk might be damaged.

                                      Consider a disk checker scan just to know if you need to replace your drive.

                                        Comment that After having installed SupCom FA, i had issue with this:
                                        C:\ProgramData\FAForever

                                        %LOCALAPPDATA%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

                                        Because 1) a steam install lua asks for that gas powered folder and precents FA from launching. Editing that lua file and removing those 2 lines allows normal startup of FA from steam, but the FAF client kept crashing (I did delete it and re-install it).

                                        After reading this thread, i noticed that I had a previous installation of FAF in 2020 in a windows 7 era, so I deleted the program data folder, but the issue remains.

                                        Now I am here.

                                          Seems like windows thinks i have a "Downlord's FAF Client 1.2.1" for which i already deleted all the files...

                                            I suspect it is a permissions issue where FAF is trying to create or read a folder but doesn't have the permission to do so.
