While I don't have a full solution yet, I could reproduce some of that weirdness.
1) Downlord's FAF Client stores all assets (maps, mods) under the GPG-associated folder which is c:\Users\[Username]\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\maps...\mods etc.
2) The legacy client (which I used until approx. a year ago) stored the same under C:\ProgramData\FAForever\... (the replays however are still stored there under ...\replays)
3) When Microsoft OneDrive (without asking for it) started to change the mapping of my \Documents\ folder from c:\Users\[Username]\Documents\ to c:\Users\[Username]\OneDrive\Documents\... it physically moved the files to the OneDrive location, BUT created file links using the VSS service which virtually also pointed back to the old c:\Users\[Username]\Documents\ - everything worked fine, I didn't even notice it for a year or so.
4) When I finally found out that OneDrive had started to sync my Desktop to the cloud (WTF?) I reversed that and stopping that "backup" (that is how M$ calls it!) didn't actually roll back the changes, but only changed the system parameter for the Documents folder (which now pointed to VSS links to the original files). That somehow messed it up.
My preliminary solution (which works) is to move the MyGames\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\... Folder out of the c:\Users\[Username]\Documents\ location back to the c:\Users\[Username]\OneDrive\Documents\ location. That works for the moment, however it is highly unsatisfying.
Besides that my OneDrive is itching arount with non-existent OneNote files etc etc.... What a mess.
Hope this helps some folks in a while.Statistics: Posted by RoC — 21 Apr 2020, 19:29
