Unable to Export Battles to FoGII

Post by GeneralBalderdash »

Have just bought FoG:E and says in the manual that you only need to open FoGII (which is already installed) to create the link so battles can be exported from FoG:E.
Have done this multiple times and still am unable to export battles to FoGII

Help Please!!!!!!

Normally this can be a permissions issue, eg lack of the right permissions etc, easy to try and fix.

Works with all games, steam or none steam games in windows.

Install and run the game and patches in admin mode, eg run as admin, on steam run steam in admin mode, then also the game.

Once a game has been installed and patched in admin mode it sets up the correct file permissions for firewalls and antivirys software programs on the users PC, to enable them to work correctly with the right kind of permissions for almost any none default setup, with some none game friendly versions being worse than others in this regard

Other than that, its when user's install in none default locations or have something in there start up which stops the process like overlay software from motherboards installers etc

Select the steam shortcuts and right click run as admin and if you load it on startup automatically then alter the exe to always run ad admin

Things which make it harder,

Motherboard overlay software used at startup
None default and none gane friendly av or firewall software
Emulation software, eg not running Windows etc
