                    There's something broke with your installation regardless. What client version are you running?

                        That should be fine, but it appears you're missing assets still. We'd need to see the logs - you can find the logs folder via the bar menu in the client (top left corner)

                          @jip There it is client.log
                          Do you need any more?

                                and

                                debug: [uiutil.lua, function UIFile()] - Unable to find file:/textures/ui/uef/lobby/team_icons/team_4_icon.dds
                                (...)
                                warning: Failed to load mesh for blueprint /units/xsl0001/xsl0001_mesh

                                It appears that the game does not manage to load in some files from the base game. They are mounted, but perhaps they are corrupt. Could you verify the integrity of the files of the base game, via Steam?

                                  @jip i used the "repair" function at gog galaxy. so there was a small update, but without effect. Same issues. Supreme Commander is still fine - FAF isn't game_17845090.log

                                    Same issues, the game can't find any texture file. I don't know how to fix it, it is likely something that is wrong with the installation or your file system.

                                        For the record - a new install with the gog version did not work and caused the same problems. So I've installed the steam version - this works without any problems.
