Can't start game through FAF fatal error

[thomasxp5]

I have tried reinstalling FAF, making sure FA works and it does. Clearing Game files and cache, making sure I'm signed in with a game profile.

I was looking and I don't even seem to have a gamedata folder in my faforever directory. Did i miss an update or install something wrong? I'm just now getting into all this and I just want this to work any knowledge is welcome.

Here is an image of my fatal error, I couldn't include it in OP

[PhilipJFry]

please enable logs in the client and post logs here
info on how to do so is in the link in the red text above

The FAF folder is not supposed to have a gamedata folder (so thats fine).

Can you launch Forged Alliance from here: C:/ProgramData/FAForever/bin/ForgedAlliance.exe ?

The crash message shows that the mesh.fx file is corrupted, manually delete the effects.nx2 file in your FAForever folder and redownload it again by hosting a game on FAF. I cant say much besides that, maybe attach some log files as Philip suggested.

When I start a new game or try to watch a replay, once I go to the in transit screen, the game freezes. When I alt tab out, A fatal error message shows up and the game screen goes black. I have attached the game, faforever, and replay logs below. The fatal error is message is in the next post.

Looks like the game is trying to load Common mod tools mod and failing, my guess is that you dont have that mod downloaded.

[WarmasterSteve]

I do not have that downloaded.
