    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      Hi guys,
      I am writing this post in the hope it may help other players that are suffering this problem.
      About two months ago after installing an update I lost access to my custom maps. In the FAF client I could not find a way to change the path back to my custom maps folder. That was not a big issue as all I had to do is move the custom maps to the new location.
      The real problem was that when I tried to start a custom game, co-op or replay the ice-server would start and then the game would shutdown with an obscure error.

      FAF did not write a game log.
      The solution suggested to fix this error was to reinstall. So I reinstalled 3x and it failed to resolve the problem. Then I did a full clean of any FAF files from my PC and reinstalled again. That also failed.

      Solution.
      By comparing files in C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin with the files on a PC that could run the game I found that BugSplat.dll and BugSplatrc.dll were missing from that folder on my PC. By copying those file into C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin from the original SCFA installation all came good.

      Why didn't the re-installations fix this?

        When you first install on a new computer you need to run the game from steam so that all the files and data are setup.

          @sheikah I've seen it written that you need to do more than just launch the game from Steam, you also need to create a "profile." Is that still accurate?

            That is helpful to do yes. I am not enirely sure what all the game gets from steam. Technically the client creates a profile for you if you don't have one but launching and creating a profile will guarantee everything is set up correctly

              I could run the game on Steam and also on LOUD_AI.
              The Steam version was old and Loud_AI seemed to always give miserable start resources to humans.
              FAF is much better game experience.
              I am glad to be back.
