Describe the bug

Whenever I try to start a Coop game for any of the six Forged Alliance maps, I crash once the map is loaded, just before the game becomes visible. This only happens with the FA maps though, and not with the vanilla game maps.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Platform
    • Fedora Linux 34
    • Proton 6.3-5
  • Start the client
  • Select 'Black Day' for Co-op
  • Start FAF
  • Ready and Start
  • Crash

Log or error message
This is my log file:

Wild Man Guessing
My first bet, is that it's something path-names related, possibly with case sensitivity. One minor observation for example is the missing minimap when loading 'Black Day', which is likely because the resource can't be found.

Does this folder exist? %USER_PROFILE%/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance/maps/

If not it might just be a game misconfiguration

Ow damn. Took me some time to see your follow-up question... Here is a client log:

Edit. I tried renaming the symlink of maps but that had no effect

I'd like to add something - I encountered the same issue and managed to resolve it completely by having all FA campaign maps both in the 'maps' directory specified in client (in my case /home/username/faf/maps_and_mods/maps) and in the one in the installation folder (/home/username/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance/maps), which isn't a symlink but a real folder with X1CA_00# and x1ca_coop_00#.v##### folders.
What's also notable is that I can't watch some of the coop replays (game opens an error window with "unable to load replay from /home/username/.faforever/cache/temp.scfareplay").

@GestaltEngine do you mean you copied all maps from /home/username/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance/maps to /home/username/faf/maps_and_mods/maps? I tried that, and while there are no more errors in the client log, I still can't launch coop campaign maps.
