Trouble starting FA

[Blueman]

Hello

i am having trouble starting supreme commander forged alliance on FAF. I have a steam version of FA which also doesnt work and i was hoping installing FAF would fix, with its auto-update system.
When i start the game through steam or FAF then it does nothing no error screen, no messages, nothing.
When i open my task manager i cant see it in applications, but i can see it under processes.
I am a long time fan of this game and any help or advice would be appreciated.

Clarify the "it" in your message. Do you talk about Steam exe ? FAF exe ? FA-FAF exe ?

[Blueman]

The game (FA) does nothing, it doesnt start up. Basicalyy acts like i never issued a start up command ,exept the fact it is registered in the processes list as an active program.

and then nothing, i tried to host a game

[Blueman]

It cannot open anything related to the game, even replays. For some reason in my C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\bin
i have 2 FA .exe files Supremecommander and ForgedAlliance.

[Ze_PilOt]

You are not supposed to have a ForgedAlliance.exe there.

[Blueman]

Should i delete the ForcedAlliance.exe file ?

[Ze_PilOt]

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