Fresh install of FAF Client v2025.2.1

SCFA is installed via Steam here:
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
FAF Client is installed here:

Error when trying to launch a game or reply:

File mentioned in error is in that directory:

Here is my FAF Client Settings \ FAF

What am I missing, doing wrong?

Have you created the folder "FAF_Cache" manually, or was it created automatically when you have run FAF Client?

[Blood01]

Correction, I created that folder under the D:\FAF Client*FAF_CACHE* b/c the client initially created it under the default C:\ drive even though I installed it to D:\

I choose a different folder and created that cache folder on D:\

[magge]

Blind guess: Try to remove the underscore '_' from the path and try again

[Blood01]

So tried that with a fresh full un-install, reinstall and just used FAFCache and FAFModsMaps folder names and same issue.

Remove the space from FAF Client

Also start a normal game once. There is a bug I think if you try to start a replay first. Since it is looking for the non replay bin folder
