One way is to reset all settings:
Delete C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Game.prefs
but remember it will erase all settings, and hotkeys and templates and campaing progress, ect ect

other way to reset all settings is to launch game and create new profile (i think you need to click on your name on top of the menu)
make new profile, delete old, and may want make profile with same name as before, not 100% sure about thins method

also i think few people had same issues before, maybe you can find old topic on forum
also you can ask in chat when there will be europe evening, maybe some one knows :)

You can directly edit the game.pref file with notepad, just make a backup first.

section you are looking for is (copied from mine)
Code: Select all
chat_window = {
                top = 375,
                bottom = 530,
                right = 430,
                left = 8
            },
Always ask, "What could i have done better?"

I am looking in the gamedata folder of supcom, but i cant find the file "game.pref" anywhere. Do you know where it is?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I just did a search in windows explorer, and after a couple minutes it found it in:

C:\Users\Andrew Pelella\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
