Can't connect to multiplayer game: wrong pathing

[RobertSink]

Hi guys & girls,

I got my game installed here A:\Programma's\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

and this is what I selected in the FAFOREVER pathing, yet when I try to join a game I get this error here below:


Failed to setup initial search path.

try to edit that \fa_path.lua to correct it. No idea what's wrong in it.

Just opened it in txtblock : fa_path = 'A:\\Programma's\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance' is what it says, so seems fine

[Ze_PilOt]

'A:\\Programma's\\

a's

Here is your problem.

Even if windows allow it, never use é&è!"'% or any special character in a folder name, it's recipe for disaster.

Thx for fixing it, changed the name of the map and now it works
