This problem is easily solvable.

To use "My Games", open your FA's game.prefs
ctrl+f there, find "lang" (or "language") and change it to EN

I'm actually considering to make that customizable in the lobby, with the new default (FAF replays are incompatible with GPGnet replays) being %COMMON_APPDATA%\replays

The "Mes Parties" vs "My Games" issue is a crappy code problem that GPG introduced by not properly supporting the REAL "My Games" functionality of Vista, which would have localized folder names (e.g. "Mes Parties" or "Meine Spiele").

Yeps we are saving the replays in "My Games" no matter what.

We are investigating the best way to handle replays right now. I think it will be more easier to determine once the replay vault is in place.

I don't think that you can change where FA is looking for replays. It use your user folder no matter what.

Personal folder used for saves/replays/mods/maps

2012-03-08T11:27:22+02:00

Hi,

I'm on a french installation of SCFA so every save/replay/etc used with vanilla SCFA goes to this personal folder :
%My Documents Directory%\Mes Parties\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
With FAF, it uses an "english" one :
%My Documents Directory%\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

In both vanilla SCFA or FAF-patched-SCFA, in the Replay menu, I can only see the replays in my former directory "...\Mes Parties\...". So it's not quite convenient, as I have to move my FAF replays into this french folder before being able to see/watch them.

The best for me would be to remove the "Mes Parties" and use only "My Games" (as I have other games that SCFA in "My Games", whereas vanilla SCFA alone in "Mes Parties").
I search registry and Game.prefs, but no configuration parameter found for this.
How can I solve that ?

By the way, great job with FAF.

Max
