      Have you tried to manually uninstall it, then install it via the latest release from the website? https://faforever.com/play#

          Make sure after uninstall to delete the remaining files from the program files folder. This is a common problem for whatever reason the installer does not always clean up properly.

            Brutus500 - Thank you ! It worked. I deleted the entire folder and reinstalled and it worked. Having the installer overwrite existing files did not work. I appreciate your post, Hopefully Ginandtonicbot above will see this and do the same. GLHF !

                @The_Aussie_Greek At which step do you face trouble?

                  @magge i use the updater that is prompted but it wont actually update it even though it is at the latest version it doesn't get rid of the previous files that it doesn't like. so im not sure what to manually uninstall otherwise it looks like i lose my mods and other save game data. if we have to organise a Discord then so be it. Haha, Thanks

                    To be on the safe side, you can back up your 'game.prefs' file. It contains the mods, keys, and basically everything about any setting. Then uninstall it, and install it from the link above.

                        You can navigate to the prefs file via FAF client top left option menu. If you do not have that, then just reinstall FAF like described above.
