After installing the most recent update to FAF (11.1) the tabs for news and play have stopped loading all together. i get an error notification saying it failed to load theme/chat_tab.fxml. another issue being i can't join a channel, i tried to join #aeolus but it didn't work. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client with no luck.
Can't load News/Play Tabs, Plus i can't join a channel
Uninstall and manually delete the remains of the FAForever for in c:/program files
Then reinstall

@brutus5000 I've been trying it for the past few minutes now and it's still not working, the client will install just fine, it will launch up and then the play and news tab is just empty.
Please provide a client log
