[Unique Thread] I can't launch the game or Log in
Maduc:
I had the common problem that I could do anything but start the game. However, I also couldn't uninstall the game. I have no idea where the files are saved (they aren't in the folder I told the downloader to save them to), and when I tried to re-download the client it just opened up the launcher again with the same problems.

Unable to save file." problem. I don't understand how to fix it, or the "In the FOnline.cfg file, find the line "PatchDatPath=fonline.dat" and change it to "PatchDatPath=faction.zip". What program do I use to open the Configuration file? This is killing me because I really want to play.
Also, my graphic cards are updated.

Or you can just do it this way: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=11139.0

Installed to desktop. Took MASTER.DAT and CRITTER.DAT from my FO2 disc, placed in Desktop\FOnline folder.
Linked them to the game with fconfig.exe
Checked filepaths in FOnline.cfg, they are:
C:\Users\Aleks\Desktop\FOnline\MASTER.DAT and CRITTER.DAT. So they should work.
Created data\scripts folder. Updated. No problems yet.
Start game, see this:

Try right-clicking the game and setting it to run in administrative mode. Might be some issues with file permissions.
If that doesn't work, try using the new setup http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=11139.0 and choose the option to copy master/critter dats in the installation.
