hello

ok, so first :

Code: Select all

2016-03-23 13:34:57,161 INFO fa.upnp Removing UPnP port mapping.
2016-03-23 13:34:57,164 ERROR fa.upnp Couldn't get StaticPortMappingCollectio

you have Upnp enabled in Options -> Settings -> Game Port -> Upnp , disable it , its not working, you need to access your router and port forward UDP 6112 port

second :

Code: Select all

2016-03-23 13:35:26,022 WARNING fa.check Invalid game path

so, you have the location of your Forged Alliance into an unknow folder, the default path for FA installation from Steam is :

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

you can set your path in FAF using Options -> Settings -> Game Path

have fun, if this solves you issue, mark this answer as accepted

[rusty887]

for some reason reinstalling faf in the Games folder instead of Program Files (x86) fixed the problem

[SpdyGonzalez]

sorry to tell you, that dit not fix anything, most likely you just reseted faf settings by reinstaling
