    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!

      To be sure, remove those folders before you reinstall FAF:

      
C:\ProgramData\FAForever

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

      And double check after the installation that you have the necessary permissions to access and read the files/directory.

      Your last log has the same error as your first one:

      Caused by: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache\stylesheets: Die Datei oder das Verzeichnis ist beschädigt und nicht lesbar

      (ENG translation: The file or directory is corrupted and not readable)

        Hi,
        removing the two folders did help.
        (Actually the FAF folder wasn't deletable in any way so I just renamed it)

        I can now launch FAF normally.
        Thank you for your support:) ❤

          It is good that the main problem was fixed but it's concerning that you couldn't delete the folder: it's possible that you had some process still running or your disk might be damaged.

          Consider a disk checker scan just to know if you need to replace your drive.

            Comment that After having installed SupCom FA, i had issue with this:
            C:\ProgramData\FAForever

            %LOCALAPPDATA%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

            Because 1) a steam install lua asks for that gas powered folder and precents FA from launching. Editing that lua file and removing those 2 lines allows normal startup of FA from steam, but the FAF client kept crashing (I did delete it and re-install it).

            After reading this thread, i noticed that I had a previous installation of FAF in 2020 in a windows 7 era, so I deleted the program data folder, but the issue remains.

            Now I am here.

              Seems like windows thinks i have a "Downlord's FAF Client 1.2.1" for which i already deleted all the files...

                I suspect it is a permissions issue where FAF is trying to create or read a folder but doesn't have the permission to do so.
