you could start by wiping the game files via the client
options -> clear data -> game files

still not working. it took a bit longer this time to give me the fatal error report, but its still identical.

i guess the last thing to do is uninstall/reinstall everything and hope it helps?

im an utter noob when it comes to stuff like this...

edit: i tried to just copy a .lua file and rename it. should that work?

It's a regular text file, just saved with a .lua extension. You got the target path right. Just write 'fa_path = ""' (with the double quotes) with notepad and save it as fa_path.lua and you should be fine.

Yes. I guess one last thing you can try is creating the 'fa_path.lua' file where the game expects it, and putting 'fa_path = '. It might work.

That's odd. Does your user have permission to write and create files in C:\ProgramData\FAForever ? If not, then that might be one cause.

im sorry, but i cant find it.

neither in my fafclient folders on c:\ or d:\ nor in my scfa folder...

is there something i have to do first to get it created?
for example, i dont think i ever played a game since i installed faf client. my last game online was around the time fa came out, maybe even still on gpg.net...

I'd like forever.log (doesn't matter if it has a .1 suffix).

The client downloads some game files outside of retail game, including a modified main executable. The client is supposed to generate the fa_path.lua file before game launch, the fact that it doesn't must be a bug. Could you post your faforever.log?

ladder1v1 replays not working for me

2018-05-26T00:04:30+02:00

ive had the game and the client installed for maybe a year now, probably even longer, but never touched it. now i went back and wanted to watch some ladder games but it wount let me.
i have no problems watching regular/custom game replays, only on ladder1v1 i get this error message:
--------------------------------------
Failed to setup initial search path.

----------------------------------------------

i notice the install path is wrong. my game is on d:\faf and not c:\....
but then why should the other replays work?

i have no mods installed.

hope im not violating any forum rules here, tried to look out for rules, checked the search thingy, nothing found.

thanks in advance
