Eh? How would your PC smell that the rear speakers aren't attached? Did you also pull the jack from the soundcard?

Try disabling jack detection and pick yourself what you want the PC to think it is connected to.

There are more reasons to disable it... one of it being that in some cases PC's with jack detection see pulling a jack as a reason to wake up (although that can be disabled another way).

I have reinstalled SupCom, FA and FAF, and now the problem is gone. I don't know if this is a solution for the next person having this problem, or if the problem will suddenly come back to me at a later time, but it's gone for now.

I have attached the latest game.log, and there's virtually no difference.

In your log you have a lot of problem with your Sound.

Code:: warning: SND: XACT3DApply failed. Invalid arg

This didn't work: the log is here. It's the same as the previous one, essentially.

Removing the game.prefs file also didn't work.

Edit: I just retried playing a campaign mission, but I got a fatal error on startup (shortly before that HQ guy would start saying something about the mission - which would make sense because the log says that there is something missing concerning movies). Here is the game.log

Then that is the problem: I playd the campaign with the blackops mod on. I do remember that when I decided to play the game again (after a few months playing other games), I started with the campaign with the blackops mod. I'm going to have a go at the proposed fixes now.

i'm thinking the problem isn't with FAF or FA, or even Steam, because as you've reinstalled them, and because it's multiple maps, the problem still exists.

as always, if i'm completely off here, just gimma the boot, tell me to eat your shorts, and kick me out , but please correct me first xD

But shouldn't i have the same problem then if im using norton?

For me I've never had the desync unless i played my regular fa steam version either campaign or skirmish while using these mods

and of course the campaign mod enabler

When i do campaign even once or skirmish even once i go back to faf try to play a game and it tells me desync i tried what reddev32 told me was to delete everything in

C:\ProgramData\FAForever

Then restart the client up and let it update and try a skirmish game which fixes my problem.

Now i cant say its the same for everyone but this did work for me.

You could try this guide

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =175274474

Its worth a shot could fix a problem on the FA side of things i had to do this ( game.prefs file ) in-order to even get my SC or SC:FA to work cause my resolution is not within its boundries but like i said its worth a shot this might fix the issue.

Edit: (To moderators or admins) Also this guide would we worth a sticky since its a very critical guide that could help many.

I'll give it a go on Friday, I don't have FAF on my laptop in my apartment in the city where I study. Still, better to have a place without FAF than no place at all because, for instance, it could've burned down last night

There was a fire nearby, four people had to spend the night elsewhere (at the b side of he complex), but I live on the a side. No serious damage to the houses though, no injured people, so the firefighters did a good job.

The steam version doesn't use anything related to the FAF one, so I don't see why clearing the cache should solve these texture errors in steam.

I have tested the game a lot of times with one person (the same as the one of whom I posted the log) and he had this issue every time after playing a skirmish game, started from steam. However, when he cleared the game files through FAF (Options-Clear-Files), then the problem would be solved.

Clearing the game files didn't work for me though.

By the way, I've checked in steam : These textures errors are there too.
I think they are related to missing icons for units, as it also display each time you open the cheat menu.
