          @BlackYps , seems the virus scanner is blocking it? I don't know what 'Nom de répertoire non valide' means exactly

          A work of art is never finished, merely abandoned

            It means "The directory name is invalid"
            My first guess is that the antivirus deleted the exe.
            But I find it odd that the two directories mentioned here are different:
            java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\replaydata\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe" (in directory "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin")
            @Sheikah is this something we need to fix?

              Check the working directory for the replay launch command. It could cause a problem if any files are referenced relative to the working directory

                  Looking at how you start the process in the code

                    For anyone seeing in this in the future -

                    PLAY a custom game FIRST. It can just be a 1v1 versus an AI. The client does not create all necessary files and directories until you play your first game.

                    Replays should then work.
