fatal error on launching game

[swupdiedoowap]

hey there I am a new player to FAF and every time I do something that would launch the game I get this error:

Spoiler: show

Failed to setup initial search path.

Program : C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe
Cmd line arguments : /replay C:/ProgramData/FAForever/cache/temp.scfareplay /init init_faf.lua /nobugreport /log "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs\replay.log" /replayid 259987

Callstack:
Unknown symbol (address 0x008cef50)

Last 100 lines of log...

warning: Running "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init_faf.lua" failed: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\..\fa_path.lua(1): `=' expected near `\'
stack traceback:
[C]: in function `dofile'
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init_faf.lua(2): in main chunk

manually running the forgedalliance.exe also gives the same error. already tried reinstalling FAF and FA.
anyone any idea on how to fix this?

You have the symbol ' in the path of your game. That's what is causing the issue.

reinstalled the game to a different directory, but still an error

Check the lua file yourself, you've still have a ' in it. (on supcom vanilla path).

reinstalling vanilla fixed it, thanks for your time
