Failed to setup initial search path.

Hi,
I have a problem. After finishing the game I wanted to run a replay, but when I try to join a game I get this error here below:

Failed to setup initial search path.

pretty sure ZeP wants the Logs of the lobby too, you find them under

HELP->Showlogs
in the lobby
top left hand conner

"init_faf.lua(1): invalid control char near `char(31)'"

Check that file. Or erase it.

I do not have a file init_faf.lua(1) , I have only init_faf.lua :

I try erase it, but when I try to join a game I get error.

init_faf.lua is supposed to be a text file...

I've activated some compression thingy to ease the server for web stuff, it's probably messing with the client.

I will fix it next lobby update (going through a uncompressed pipe for the lobby), until then, I've disabled it.

Can you retry to delete it again ?

I turned off my ip from the DMZ Host IP Address on my router and everything is ok. Thanks for help. Subject to close.
