Can't play twice in a row

[Heaven]

Edit: reinstall fixed it, and preferences unaffected as Myxir explained. thanks



After playing a game (or even just joining a lobby), when I try to play another one, it says FA is already running, and no more than 1 instance is allowed. This happens even though I left the previous game normally through the score screen. There is no instance of FA in the task manager.

Screenshots of error message:


Sometimes is dialogue appears (and won't go away unless I tab into another window)


Is reinstalling FAF the only way to fix it? I'd like to avoid redownloading and reconfiguring all UI mods and hotkeys.

please post your forever.log file after getting that error

those settings are saved in game.prefs which is a default supcom file, so reinstalling or removing FAF will not change anything here
if you're uncertain, you can back it up though, you can find the file in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
