Trouble starting FA

[Blueman]

I think its a residiual file from an attempt to fix the problem

[Ze_PilOt]

It shouldn't be there in the first place so yes. But have you any idea why you have that file there ?

PIlot thats of a windows xp machine so the paths correct.

No it's not. FAF doesn't run in admin mode and shouldn't be able to write anything in program files.
The correct path on XP is in doc&settings.

[Blueman]

please explain in detail how i get there and what do i have to do.

[Ze_PilOt]

I have to explain what you did ?

Normally you just have to set your path in FAF and host a game.

[Blueman]

i know how to set a path in faf, but the game doesnt start up a all, nothing happens ,but my computer thinks i am playing
If i am not mistaken the path is C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

[Ze_PilOt]

what is written in fa_path.lua ?

What happen if you start ForgedAlliance.exe (lobby - show logs - open the bin folder) directly ?

[Blueman]

nothing happens, it thinks for a second and then nothing, the only thing thats apparent is in the task manager-processes where it shows ForgedAlliance.exe

[Ze_PilOt]

enable the logging in FAF and check if there is a game.log.

If so, post it (check the announcement in this forum for more infos).
