      Hello!
      I bought Supreme Commander FA on steam today, installed the game and played a bit of skirmish for a VERY short time, but the game both looked and worked fine.

      I decided to get FAF to be able to play multi, have patches, etc. I did all the required stuff und then I created a lobby (wanted to play with the AI) and when the game loaded in, it showed this:

      Some broken UI und a yellow filter or whatever this is. I do meet the game's requirements. Original SC FA works fine.. Any ideas?

        Can you post you game log or even better post it in the #technical-help channel in the FAF Discord 🙂

          I’ve seen this issue before. Can’t remember exactly what the cause and solution was off the top of my head. I would guess missing or corrupted textures tho. Did you try rehosting a few times?

            Did you try joining a game to see what happens? Welcome to FAF btw. I too am a recent vanilla convert and it's way better over here.

            Let there be light

              I see old textures that are not used in FAF, had client even installed patch?

                *C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata* check this path, are there .nx2 files?

                  Well, I can't seem to be able to find ProgramData \ FAForever, I only have "Program Files" and a "Downlord's FAF Client" folder which does not have the .nx2 files (nor a gamedata folder). Even the non faf's supreme commander files don't have those.

                    Nevermind? I somehow fixed the game? I literally have no idea how the hell have I done that. I've just turned off the client, played a bit of total war napoleon, opened the client again and boom - the UI works and the game is fine now..

                    What the hell?

                        Maybe, the most important thing is that I can finally play the game! Thanks for all the help.
