Problem patching at all

Postby kormi » 13 Jan 2013, 15:36

Hey guys,
I used to be happy SupCom player from beta times, and recently decided to go back to this. I bought FA last night on steam and wanted to try my luck in an online game. I understand I must patch the game before I play, but don't know how. When I download the patch installer, it's asking for location of ForgedAlliance.exe, but my installation doesn't include such file (only SupremeCommander.exe). How can I patch the game? Please help....
Thank you!

in the bin folder of the installation path of supreme commander forged alliance is the forgedalliance.exe. when you only see a supcremecommander.exe you have installed supreme commander and NOT supreme commander forged alliance!

This is normal, and you have nothing to patch.

Host a game on FAF, it will guide you (read carefully).

Nope, when I try to join a game through FAF, pop up message tells me to update....

This message:
Incompatible Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance version

Your installation is incompatible with Forged Alliance Forever. Probably your game has an older version number. Versions v1.5.3599 or v1.5.3603 or Steam are required to playon FAF.

To update your game, you can download the official patch here:
http://cdn.thqonline.com/SC/Patches/sup ... 5.3599.exe

A fresh install of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is recommended before patching & upgrading. You can also register your CD-Key on Steam to download an up to date version without needing a disk.

Visit the Forged Alliance Forever tech support forum if you have questions.

And you point your steam installation (Options-Settings-game path) ?

Did you launch the game once from steam ?

Thank you Ze_PilOt, I forgot that I entered SupCom .exe there before I bought FA and did not change it later. Works now. See you on the battlefield... :-)
