tested on two different machines.
when starting a custom "Forged Alliance Forever" game on any map VS a CPU (not tested with humans) and the "Spawn" setting is changed from the default "Fixed" to "Random" the game will launch but you will be defeated/loose instantaneously.
Changing the Spawn option back to "Fixed" will solve this and let you play as normal
since this issue is so easy to test I didn't attach any logs....
Update 18/04/15
This seems to now work again as it should.... did you guys patch it or? anyway, SOLVED
