      Recently after a disastrous encounter with Malwarebytes, which resulted in a loss of a lot of programs etc I tried to start up this client, namely the Offline game in the Client files, to test out some of the mods. However immediately upon starting the game the screen goes back to desktop with a fatal error message.

      it reads as follows:

      CD3DDeviceResources::DevResInitResources: Unable to load effect file /effects/cartographic.fx

      Program : C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe
      Cmd line arguments :

      Callstack:
      unavailable.

      Any ideas as to what I need to do?

      Btw my client is installed on my C Drive while the Steam directory is located on another hard drive labelled A Drive.

        Have you reinstalled it? You are missing at least one file.

          You need to run Sup Com from steam so it downloads the needed files.
