  The default values is %s which will be replaced with the whole ForgedAlliance.exe path and arg. So if you want to wrap it into another app you need to go something like start /affinity F %s

  Hello, I been playing on and off for a few years and I mostly do vs AI due to time constraints. I played prior to the weekend and had no issues, then for some reason I started getting this error message below when I attempted to create a match. I only use one mod for the original game music occasionally. I reinstalled the client twice, marked exceptions on anti virus for the client, ran as administrator, logged out and logged back in, checked files and did a PC restart. Tested game without FAF via its normal play method and had zero issues graphically or otherwise. nothing seems to work so I do not know what is going on or how to fix it. Any assistance would be appreciated. I can play the game without FAF but it just works better with your client and upgrades.

  @Jip said in Offline Line Campaign/Skirmish: You need to host at least one (coop) game through the client. That will retrieve the file in question. Then you can play offline again. The game files are not included with the launcher by default. Thanks for the help Jip, I appreciate it.
