I have tried the following solutions:

• updated java.

• verified all files for Supreme Commander 1 and 2

• disabled antivirus and firewall

• deleted config file (as directed by a google search solution)

• reinstalled and downloaded the FAF client.

needless to say ive done a few things, but continue to receive this error.

if anyone could help that would be great

Thanks.
