Downlord Client map download bug.

[Umenyalapkee]

pls post a client and game log

the default folder for the game to check for maps/mods are
a) the game install (where the default maps/mods from gas powered games are)
b) the windows user folder (where user should store non default mods/maps -> C:\Users\%username%\Documents\my games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

Just like Apofenas said - new clieng can't use maps and mod from Gas Powered Games folder, and use mods and maps from old clietn folder.
So it at least checing old client folders. So maps that was downloaded in old client can be used by new. Same is true for mods. And new downloads can't be used if not moved mannyally.

So I change username and folder name, and now it not сyrillic, but it not solves a problem because client still uses old folder and no way to change it for me.

according to the game log you posted there is not a single mod or map in your personal folder or in programdata
where do you have them atm?

I delete old client, in case that in can conflict with new, so there no mod or maps from old client in here.
New client download it in different map, where it can use it. It is what the problem is.

ok - can you do me a favor?
1 start the new client
2 go to the map vault
3 download any map
4 check on one of these two folders to see if the map was installed successfully (these two locations are where the game looks for the map files)

Code: Select all

info: mounting maps from: C:\Users\Фёдор\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\maps\
info: checking C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\..\user\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\maps\

5 try to create a game via the client and check if the map is available in the client window for creating a lobby
6 if all of that works then please tell me what the problem is - if one step fails then post a new client log and describe what happened and what failed

Ok, lets go.
It all works just fine.
1. Check
2. Check
3. Check
4. ... In first folder there is the map, нurray!
In FAForever map after \bin\ folder not even exist that path. If u do not belive me - there is a screenshots.

So. In first map client see map. But game do not see it. It means that if I try to create game in that map by clietn - game offen me only defalt (or downloaded by old client before I delete it in case of posible compatibility bug) maps. Clietn download map and i can choose it by clietn UI, but the game do not can use that map from folder where it is. If i move map in different folder where it works - it works from game, but client do not see that map. If problem i сyrillic simbols it path - let me know how i can fix it because change name of folder do not works for client. It creaters map with old name even, and put maps there.
If there was any way to set clietn map folder so that the game can use it. -sign-

There is a log.

It puts maps to C:\Users\*user*\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\user\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
The client can actually see the map before the lobby, but whn i host it gets me to lobby with Four Corners and the selected map doesn't exist in lobby.

Use steam folder of the game(steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance), i.e. move maps/mods manually to maps/mods(create folder). Fixed problem for me. Created shortcuts on the desktop for an invalid folder(where FAF downloads maps/mods) and folder(steam) which FAF actually use, made my life easier for now.
P.s. Does someone know programm, which will auto move/copy files from folder to folder?
