Hmm, please post a copy of your Game.prefs file to pastebin.com. Even when I create a new user profile I get that campaign array. I am curious as to what yours looks like.

You may have saved your campaign game progress, but you did not save any game settings that you changed when you just straight exit to windows.

All saved games are saved per FA user name in this location:

C:\Users\'USER NAME'\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\savegames\'FA USER NAME'

You may be able to just copy or move those files to another FA user name folder.

You may also have to copy some text in Game.prefs to the new user name. Open Game.prefs with a text editor, like Notepad. Search for campaign = { in Game.prefs from your old user name (you can find it after Name =) and copy all the text in between campaign = { till the brace }, that is lined up with campaign =

example of a new user name with no campaign progress:

Code:

            campaign = {
                [''] = {
                    [''] = {
                        { },
                        { },
                        { },
                        [''] = {
                            allPrimary = false,
                            allSecondary = true
                        }
                    }
                }
            },


Your existing user name will have more text there, copy and replace that part into the new user name.

If all the above is giberish to you, start a new campaign

This sounds like a first setup issue.
Launch FA through the stand alone method either through Steam or the desktop shortcut, if you have one. Note, this not FAF, this is running the stand alone game without FAF.
When you start it, does it ask you to create a user name? If so, go ahead and set one up as well as any settings changes your want.
Start a skirmish match with the AI. After you are in a game, select End Game, NOT Exit to Windows. You want to go back to the main FA menu.
Once at the FA main menu, go ahead and exit to Windows.
Now start FA again though the stand alone method and your setting that you had set before should be there.

If you exit out to windows anywhere in FA except from the main menu, all your changes are lost (settings, campaign progress, last map played, etc.). Since you just jumped straight into a campaign match from a clean install, and then exit right out to windows in the middle or at the end of a game, you never gave a chance for the program to save this information into Game.prefs.

If you did the above steps correctly and you are still having issues, your user account may have restrictions that forbid you access or write privileges to the AppData folder. Try running FA as an Administrator account.
