@askaholic Yes i am using the latest version, which is actually 2022.1.3
I managed to create and join games after looking at my friends installation and manually creating the "bin" and "gamedata" folders within the path C:\ProgramData\FAForever\cache\featured_mod
Im not sure why those folders weren't created since it had no issue writing all the other folders and files in the directory.
Fresh install on latest client version errors out when trying to create a game, error cites missing files in the 'featured_mod" folder.
