it is the lobby chat I'm talking about. And it's not just my problem. Many of my friends commented to me about having the same problem.

When in Lobby Chat, when I chat with a friend, I can't erase the chat from session to session. All prior chat texts are always there. So after a month, I have to scroll to bottom to get latest chat messages. HOW DO I ERASE CHAT MESSAGES?? However, I do notice that the moderator chat does erase itself from session to session, just not the friend chat.

Especially since it's been installed on my computer for years.

How do I NOT run the software??

I have a problem with my Arctic Nova Pro headsets while in a game on FAF. I have all setting on normal with NO surround sound turned on. During a game I hardly here anything. This has been going on for over a year now. When I first got these headsets, everything was fine, but one day the sound volume got reduced and I can find no reason for it. The sound works fine for all other cases, including listening to replays. It also works fine in all other games. Can anyone help?

well buying the game on GOG and installing it and then FAF worked!!! And you are wrong about installing from Steam...I had DELETED all SupCom file (not uninstalled) and so Steam could not find any files to update. And, since it looked like I owned it on Steam, it would not let me buy another copy.

My next question is: can I buy Supreme Commander on GOG and install it to my Steam directory.

yes, and it sas there are zero files

FYI you should warn players NOT TO DELETE files for a Steam game but instead should uninstall and reinstall them on Steam.

Following your uninstall link above REALLY screwed up my game!! The procedure deleted all of the Forged Alliance game files!! When I go into Steam the game shows up but I can't play it because ALL of the files are gone. And I can't even uninstall it on Steam because the file count is zero! And I can't buy another copy because Steam thinks I already own it. Can ANYONE help me to delete the "game" from Steam so I can at least buy another copy. I have not found a single clue on the internet to help me.

It is quit simple:

1. I go to the FAF website
2. I select Login in the upper right corner
   3 On the Login page, I enter my username and Password, which brings up the Authorizations page
3. I select Authorize. And this brings me RIGHT BACK TO THE LOGIN PAGE!!

I have even changed my password to no effect

I found the location where the update files are located but I don't know what file is the install file. If you can tell me that I might be able to install FAF from those stored files.The date on the file is yesterday, June 21, 2024.

I reset my password on Steam and every time I try to download the client it goes back to the screen asking me to register again!!! I have no clue what to do now.

One of my problems is that FAF has an old email address that I can no longer use so I can't register using it. When it send me to Steam, it goes into the loop I mention above.

As the latest update was attempting to update, it erased my old game and then crashed. So, now I cant download the latest version of FAF!!! I went to Steam and ran the Verify Integrity of Files process successfully, so my game is ok. But when I try to run the game from FAF it just keeps going in a loop to because I don't have FAF files on my computer anymore. How do I recover from this?? Please help. I've been playing since 2013 and need my daily FAF fix.

That actually solved my problem!!!!! Thanks much...who would have guessed that NVIDIA would do such a dastardly thing to us poor unsuspecting FAF players. I can finally do something I have been trying to do for years!

I enabled cheats and had the same results! When I use Alt+F2 on the DualGap map, I get the message "Supported Game is required to use this feature." So, your suggestion does NOT work. Can ANYONE tell me how to open the menu for practicing????

Thanks!! I didn't even know that option was there.

For several years I have been trying to practice developing strategies and build orders for various maps but I always run into problems when trying to use cheats to create other faction units (playing as one faction and wanting to spawn Cybran engineers so I can build hives). Whenever I press ALT+F2 to open the cheat menu I get a message that tells me that I can't use cheats on this map (mainly the latest DualGap map). Are their only certain maps that allow cheats or am I doing it wrong.

I think I'm the oldest person playing FAF. I am 82 and still enjoy playing video games. I have been playing FAF since 2013 and played Forged Alliance since it was published in 2007. I started in college playing board games that are battle simulations back in the early 1960s. We used to talk about the possibility of playing games online when the first personal computers came out. Got my first PC in 1995 and immediately stated playing some the early DOS games like DOOM, Dark Forces, Quake, etc. I even tried a few strategy games and was hooked on the Civilization series for years, including playing CivNet with friends on closed networks after work. When I tried Supreme Commander I was totally hooked on it and followed with Forged Alliance. That's when I started playing online strategy games with FA my favorite after the multiplayer version of Civilization. When FAF came out and I discovered it in 2013, I was overjoyed and have been playing it ever since.

BTW I'm a PhD physicist and I retired at the age of 76 after 50 years working in the field.
