[FAF Help] Desynch and Powerlobby issues.

[Lord Rato]

Well, just reinstalled the FA because i had the 3603 version. When reinstalled the game i patched it to 3599 and installed the FAF.

My problem is:

Faf runs normal, everything seems to be normal, i run the "FAFinstall.exe" and it says that all is up to date. When i join in a game, on the lobby screen is there no points or anything diferent from the vanilla version of FA, the power lobby is not installed i think. When i get to be in the game, it keeps desynch all the time, and i cant play.,

Thanks.

It sounds like your SupComDataPath.lua is broken. From this, I'm willing to venture the following guesses:
--You have Windows 7
--Windows 7 autodetected the files were being modified them, and placed them into read-only status to protect them
--This is what is preventing you from updating

Try running FAFinstall.exe as admin. That should fix the problem.

If that does not, you need to do the following list of steps:
#1: Run a command prompt as admin (type "cmd" into search, right click, run as admin"
#2: Type the following line:

Code: Select all

CD C:\\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\gamedata\binFAF

#3: Hit enter
#4: Type this following line:

Code: Select all

attrib +s -r

#5: Hit enter
#6: Run FAFInstall.exe as admin

This process removes teh system protection on the files that FAFInstall needs to update... and should therefor enable it to work. I hope this helps!

if that fails try dleteing teh binfaf and rerun fafinstaller.exe

that will then redownload all files that you need. i think 1 got currpot in download.

O problema é que o FAF não esta atualizando o SupComDataPath.lua quando ele esta modificado, e quando vc instala o core maximizer do meu site, ele modifica esse arquivo para iniciar o core maximizer com o FA, por enquanto, para resolver seu problema, somente peça para qualquer um do grupo te passar o arquivo /binFAF/SupComDataPath.lua e substituia pelo seu arquivo que tudo vai funcionar. E vc desinstalou o 3603 para instalar a 3599 a toa, pq o FAF funciona na 3603.

>> I already reported to Pilot that when SupComDataPath.lua is modified, FAF doesnt patch it.

Oh really

why not?
when you use fafinstaller it should delete binfaf and recreate it so now problems

Reinstalled the game and FAF, everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks anyway.
