Cannot connect to other gamers

Hello, sorry for my bad English at first.

I Have a Problem to connect to other EF public games. My EF version is [IP address redacted] and i cannot believe that the hole community which I see has an older version.
When i host a game, I can play without problems against the Computer in Online games.
I thought the problem is perhaps that i have a soundmod in my CoH OP and some other skins and that is the reason that i cannot connect to others cause the game think I have another version.
So I installed EF-mod in a "clean" COH dictionary and hoped that it worked but again all EF-games are not available

Pls help me THX forward

Re: Cannot connect to other gamers

In this case the reasons you cannot connect other players could be:

a) Having custom skin packs or sound packs.
b) In case of updating, some older files were not deleted.
c) Maybe the other guys you want to join have option a or b.

Are you sure you deleted everything before reinstalling CoH? Are you sure you install EF with admin rights?

Re: Cannot connect to other gamers

Ok thx for the help, that is really bad that skin and sound packs are the problem that i cannot connect to others, but i doesn´t understand it because with the normal coh aren´t any problems when i have different skins and sounds installed, what is the reason that it doesn´t work with EF-mod?

If your skin pack alters rgd files it not only won't work with EF but probably with any other mod :-\.

Re: Cannot connect to other gamers

I tested my cod with other mods too for example Blitzkrieg and MC but there everything is fine and it work pretty well, but why the EF-mod has a problem with the campatible to others. I think with normal coh and other mods it works too, why EF-mod should be a exception? Can u fix it in the future that everyone who has the same version of coh and EF can play together?
