Freezing on Multiplayer spawn

[Yogi]

Hi all,

I'm having issues with any multiplayer game I try to join or host. I can play skirmish completely fine, and watch replays no problem, but as soon as I try to play anything on FAF, or even through the Steam matchmaking I get the following turn of events:

As soon as the game loads, I start completely zoomed out, and do not automatically zoom in. There is no mouse, but the UI and terrain are there. The tactical icon for my commander is there, as are the effects of him and the opposing commander teleporting in. There does not seem to be a score for either myself or my opponent (AI or human). If I alt F4 I can get the mouse but upon clicking no I still can't do anything with it. This also happens to any human opponent when they play with me, but oddly not when they play on their own or with anyone else. Multiplayer is completely unplayable.

This is a completely fresh install on Windows 8 through Steam, there are no mods (although I have used them in the past I have cleaned all the folders I think should be associated with FA).

Logs enclosed.

Its driving me to my wits end as FA is an excellent game. Would really appreciate any help you can give!

Your original files seems altered. Try doing a cache verification/validation in steam for FA (search google).

Tried that already. This is a complete delete all and fresh install.

warning: Error running CreateGameInterface script in CScriptObject at 1ad8a234: ...orged alliance\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\ui\game\tabs.lua(25): access to nonexistent global variable "timeoutsRemaining"

Tabs.lua is not a file altered by FAF, so it came from your original install. I'm 100% sure that the tabs.lua file in system has a global variable named timeoutsRemaining.
