Troubles with Steam

I installed the mod at..

Program Files>Steam>steamapps>commom>company of heroes

Went to the Settings and went into all of that and selected Eastern front, but when I hit play it Just Tells me it's up to date.

I'm kinda lost

I'm that bad with computers I don't know how to screen-shot my desktop and where it goes. :-[

Sorry just my buds who play this are all rocking out this mod and I can't figure it out.

Re: Troubles with Steam

...

Well, a couple of observations:


  • You don't have CoH installed, it would never run.

  • You installed EF in the wrong folder, it should be "Program Files>Steam>steamapps>commom>company of heroes" but you installed EF over "Program Files>Steam>steamapps>commom>company of heroes>Eastern Front"

Alright I fixed all that but now when I load the game up and try to place as the Soviet's when I start it's like Frozen? I can't do anything, part of the minimap is black where I am and I can't train any soldiers.

Re: Troubles with Steam

Looks like you didn't update EF. You can install manually the updates, check this topic for that.

Re: Troubles with Steam

Strange since the Updater did do that though, but thanks I'll give it a try.

Re: Troubles with Steam

Check if the path in the installer is the correct one.

Re: Troubles with Steam

Not sure how to do that...So with these patches are they auto-install or do I just extract them to the EF Folder?

LOL, when prompted to select the install path.

They are stored in EF Updates folder i think.

Re: Troubles with Steam

You confused me when I just told you I did that already in other words?
I'll just do the manual patching.. Do I just extract what I DL into the EF folder and such or is it auto?

Re: Troubles with Steam

The patches are auto-installers, and what i say is that the downloaded updates by the launcher are stored in "EF_Updates" folder inside CoH directory.

But imo will be better if you download and install them again.
