      Hi all,

      I downloaded the latest client and signed up today. I have followed all the steps in the guide and I am currently unable to get past the logging in screen.

      The client accepts my username and password and progresses to the next screen but no further and does not crash.

      I have so far tried uninstalling and reinstalling, system restart, checked firewall settings and I am at a bit of a loss to understand why it will not log me in.

      I have done a fair bit of googling and I cannot find anyone with a similar issue.

      Any suggestions?

      Thanks in advance

        Your credentials must be fine if you can login here, maybe try checking the client log for clues?

          Where can I I find the client log in the folders as I can't get to that stage of the client?

              No logs folder has been created in that directory

                Okay so bit of additional info: The client accepts no password and still progresses to the logging in screen, not entirely sure what that means though

                  You are sure you have the latest client? https://www.faforever.com/client

                  Might wanna check any potential AV/firewall too.

                    Thanks Giebmasse

                    I've managed now, my AV was blocking it.
