when your "Documents" folder is not in a "normal" state, FAF should use C:\ProgramData\FAForever instead. Obviously your case isn't something we've foreseen but I'll see if we can figure out a workaround for your issue.

Please keep in mind that two players on the same LAN aren't fully supported by FAF yet!

So I have installed Forged Alliance on a laptop from work which can only log me on with a 'temporary' profile. As such, the 'links' to the Documents folder etc. do not work, so there were two lines in this file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\bin\SupComDataPath.lua

specifically:
mount_contents(SHGetFolderPath('PERSONAL') .. 'My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\mods', '/mods')
mount_contents(SHGetFolderPath('PERSONAL') .. 'My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\maps', '/maps')

Which just caused the game to crash before loading up. I changed them to this:

mount_contents('C:\\Users\\%UserName%\\My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\mods', '/mods')
mount_contents('C:\\Users\\%UserName%\\My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\maps', '/maps')

Which seemed to fix the problem and the game runs! However, when I try and run the FA Forever client I get an error message:

error.jpg

I am now properly stuck as to what to do!

Please help, I'd love to play this game with my housemate! Thanks.
