I think I'm the oldest person playing FAF. I am 82 and still enjoy playing video games. I have been playing FAF since 2013 and played Forged Alliance since it was published in 2007. I started in college playing board games that are battle simulations back in the early 1960s. We used to talk about the possibility of playing games online when the first personal computers came out. Got my first PC in 1995 and immediately stated playing some the early DOS games like DOOM, Dark Forces, Quake, etc. I even tried a few strategy games and was hooked on the Civilization series for years, including playing CivNet with friends on closed networks after work. When I tried Supreme Commander I was totally hooked on it and followed with Forged Alliance. That's when I started playing online strategy games with FA my favorite after the multiplayer version of Civilization. When FAF came out and I discovered it in 2013, I was overjoyed and have been playing it ever since.

BTW I'm a PhD physicist and I retired at the age of 76 after 50 years working in the field.

Thanks!! I didn't even know that option was there.

That actually solved my problem!!!!! Thanks much...who would have guessed that NVIDIA would do such a dastardly thing to us poor unsuspecting FAF players. I can finally do something I have been trying to do for years!

Switching back to stereo on my headphone sound system fixed the problem. I had headphones on 7.1 surround sound.

I have two friends that I play with often. After the last FAF update, I can't see my friends games in the lobby. In addition, one of my friends can see and join my games, but the other one can't see either of our games in the lobby.

I am not a programming Geek! What the hell is DDOS on our coturn servers????

I removed all mods and game now works fine! Thanks.

Thanks! But as an aside, I found it all by myself and all is fine. I watched several replays and started a game against AI just to make sure!

Following your uninstall link above REALLY screwed up my game!! The procedure deleted all of the Forged Alliance game files!! When I go into Steam the game shows up but I can't play it because ALL of the files are gone. And I can't even uninstall it on Steam because the file count is zero! And I can't buy another copy because Steam thinks I already own it. Can ANYONE help me to delete the "game" from Steam so I can at least buy another copy. I have not found a single clue on the internet to help me.

I bought a new computer and installed Forged Alliance from Steam. When I tried to start FAF I get the following error message "Maps and Mods path detected to be in One Drive. One Drive can cause issues during the game as it has a lock on the files during synchronization. It is advised that you change your Maps and Mods path in client settings."

So I went into settings and could only find the location for saved games. Now, I every time I start a game or replay the game fails.

how can I change the path for Maps and Mods in FAF???

it is the lobby chat I'm talking about. And it's not just my problem. Many of my friends commented to me about having the same problem.

When in Lobby Chat, when I chat with a friend, I can't erase the chat from session to session. All prior chat texts are always there. So after a month, I have to scroll to bottom to get latest chat messages. HOW DO I ERASE CHAT MESSAGES?? However, I do notice that the moderator chat does erase itself from session to session, just not the friend chat.

Especially since it's been installed on my computer for years.

How do I NOT run the software??

I have a problem with my Arctic Nova Pro headsets while in a game on FAF. I have all setting on normal with NO surround sound turned on. During a game I hardly here anything. This has been going on for over a year now. When I first got these headsets, everything was fine, but one day the sound volume got reduced and I can find no reason for it. The sound works fine for all other cases, including listening to replays. It also works fine in all other games. Can anyone help?

well buying the game on GOG and installing it and then FAF worked!!! And you are wrong about installing from Steam...I had DELETED all SupCom file (not uninstalled) and so Steam could not find any files to update. And, since it looked like I owned it on Steam, it would not let me buy another copy.

My next question is: can I buy Supreme Commander on GOG and install it to my Steam directory.
