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