I've got the same issue as others have had , since the update i cant launch ive tried unstalling and reinstalling multiple times to no avail

I've got the same problem, tried reinstalling several times to no avail

WHY IS IT DOWNLOADING SOMETHING THATS IN THE FOLDER???

I am at a complete lose, what i don't understand is when i first start FAF and go to join a game it goes to download Forged allance and that is where the problem is. I've got the below link as the place to look for the game, it has a bunch of sub folders. the EXE file i believe is the one called "SupremeCommander" . Does that sound right?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

Just tried it still didn't work, it runs fine through steam. Its every time i try join a game thru FAF. Its as someone else described the problem, it cant find the forged allance.EXE file so it downloads it to the BIN folder but then doesnt like the fact its in the BIN folder

Hello i have seen others posts this issue but with no resolve. All of sudden i get the below error message. I have reinstalled supreme commander, reinstalled FAF, cleared my cache. Does anyone have any ideas? I think it was caused by joining a game that had a mod.Thanks
