map preview not working

Postby Jack_Viper » 09 Nov 2014, 21:11

Hi FAF community,

it seems that all newly installed FAF's are broken with the map previews. All custom maps are missing and it seems to be a problem with the new update.
I could solve that problem manually by copying someone's else cache folder (thx to speed2) in the following directory
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache.
I hope i could help with this.
