@Hayro252

I would suggest to try this:

This problem usually happens because EF is installed without admin rights(or maybe just bad luck :)), you can try to fix it by reinstalling it and making sure you have admin rights while reinstalling EF. But if you want to fix this by yourself(tough guy huh :P) you can do this:

Open a regedit instance(windows key + R or start menu->run and type regedit then execute) and look for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Eastern Front" key, and should store your current EF version information. If you are using x64 OS, try checking on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node".

If not, you can restore it by running this registry entry:

For x86 users:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Eastern Front]
"DisplayName"="Eastern Front"
"DisplayVersion"="[IP address redacted]"
"URLInfoAbout"="EasternFront.org"

For x64 users:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Eastern Front]
"DisplayName"="Eastern Front"
"DisplayVersion"="[IP address redacted]"
"URLInfoAbout"="EasternFront.org"

The previous entries are done expecting you have the latest version, otherwise change "[IP address redacted]" for the current version you have installed.

If you know how to create registry entries you probably prefer to add them yourself, otherwise, paste it on a text editor(like notepad) and save it as reg file: i.e. filename.reg, where filename is whatever name you like and then double click it in order to add the registry. You can use the script whenever you want, just that everytime you use it you overwrite the old registry so, be sure about what you add there.

The "Display Version" value must be filled with the latest version you have of Eastern Front, if you don't remember maybe it's better to reinstall, but if you are sure about what version you have, you can add it yourself.

Hope it helps.

Tried to go - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Eastern Front] ,  but there is no EF folder/file ...

I am not sure what is my version [IP address redacted] or [IP address redacted] ... In ABOUT menu there is nothing after game version.

Can you help me ?

Fixed ;)

Thanks alot mate  :)

Oh... I have another thread about the exe not working.

I downloaded the [IP address redacted] but am I to understand from this thread I need to start with the [IP address redacted] installation and go up from there? I thought [IP address redacted] was all I need - a full version.

I have the same messenger, but my version its the latest. The game play OK, but in future updates i dont konw if it down and update the version.

I´ve manualy instaled the [IP address redacted] patch but in the main screen still say [IP address redacted]  is this normal? the launcher says "EF is up to date". Thank you

@Don Quixote
Yes, it is normal. That was an oversight when releasing the old patch.

Sorry for my bad English. Where can I download the patch 1.510 ?

I don't recall having such patch :-\. But if you download the latest full installer(v2.300) you won't need to get any patches.
