You should upload the replay as well, otherwise we don't have a way to test it bi ourselves. Also your latest scarlog will help.

Is it just me or does the Eastern Front Launcher take very long now? Before it would just take 5 seconds or so. Now Im waiting like 1-2 minutes :(

Same here....

Server is busy with thousands of update requests. Maybe we should make next Eastern Front launher to have default setting "AutoUpdate=0" or just check auto updates once in a week  ;D

for me, not everything is normal. The new outpost as Russian sniper Russian observer, option for conscripts more weapons, new maps ... no longer appear to me, after the correction of errors. He returned with everything before, the maps [OH] not appear new. I downloaded the Desura. Blackbishop understand me now, so I'm not 100% happy because I really liked the news and I can not review it. I'll try to download again.

Please post the link to download the new version. I uninstalled Desura. And I'm not trying to uninstall eastern front. If I uninstall the eastern front, I need to install all the patches again? or only the new version [IP address redacted]?

As said before, the only thing removed from the installer were some maps unfinished/not intended to be released and some game modes unfinished. So if anything new doesn't appear is a problem at your end, because AFAIK all of that is still there.

The new full installer can be downloaded from torrent:
http://www.file-upload.net/download-6844091/EF_Setup-[IP address redacted]-_Full.exe.torrent.html

And the hotfix 1.702 is included on this compilation:
http://www.file-upload.net/download-6849571/Hotfixes.rar.html

I'm uninstalling everything.

what happened to that path? http://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/48422/all?referer=http://easternfront.org/?p=download is no longer reliable?

If you uninstalled everything you shoould start with the [IP address redacted] full patch instead of that (which is 1.7.0).

You are no mirrors to download? only by Desura?

http://www.easternfront.org/?p=download

Do you have an account on moddb? If you log in, you will have more mirrors.

By modbd was downloading, but I had the news that the mirrors are not available, I'm downloading the Desura again to try there.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/coheastern-front/downloads/eastern-front-170-full-with-hotfix-1

By trying this link

I'll try again. I restored the system! I am tired. will try the launcher starting with version [IP address redacted] to version [IP address redacted] ......

Many people with the same problems and more.

Did you try to reinstall EF and install [IP address redacted] ?

yes, @dreamerbg, because Simply loading the game has stopped. I have had to restore the system. Now, I'm trying the launcher. Before the Desura, I tried at modbd and I had problems.

Sorry, this wasn't updated. It is now.

Anyone woundering what to do: Download full version from there and then installed the 1.7.0.2.exe one in here http://www.file-upload.net/download-6849571/Hotfixes.rar.html

So whats this 1114mb update on the launcher? [IP address redacted] full exe... will that mean i wont have to download from a mirror?

Yes, but as you read in all the previous post, it is better to use the mirrors, otherwise it will be a long wait :P.

But the wait was well worth it :) nice one devs keep up the good work! Thank goodness the Russian sniper now has a mosin nagant! and still no British sniper ah well... Marksman it is....

Might we see the USA having an American Flag and the Brits witha Union Jack in the next update? :DD

Sadly not, due to the fact that EF doesn't change vanilla factions.

Well, I wouldn't rule it out. I personally think changing some vCoH stuff like skins and sounds would keep the mod from becoming stale, at least for a little while. Not in the next update though, maybe sometime in the future.

Instead of changing skins, what about changing models? Yauz did that with his skinpack by using PanzerII as AC car. So Stats remain the same but models are varied. Ofc there must be a button in the installer to use this feature and to deinstall it again, without deinstalling the mod.

We would need to have a decent panzer II first ;D. Let alone than adding things like that break EF. I wonder if that has to do with not using sga files for the mod files.

Seriously, I'm not against adding reward units that act like that, however, the reward unit menu will have too much stuff XD.

No i meant a skinpack, not reward units. BKmod made a similar thing by asking you in the installation if you want to use HD skins.

We could probably do a few things like that, but it would take more time than changing skins or sounds, there's plenty of sound and skin packs out there I'm sure people would have no issue with us using, but decent new models that aren't rips from other games are hard to come by so we'd have to make them ourselves.

@Killar
It is not the same thing at all. BK packs normal quality skins and HD skins but at the end both are the same thing just different quality. So this would be completely different... Yauz is not changing a texture, he is adding a whole new model to CoH while the BK mod only replaces their normal textures with a better ones.

Also, if you want to use the sdkfz. 222 once more you would need to reinstall EF. Doing an alternate skin pack that only changes the textures of the models like BK did might be a cool addition, however, swapping whole models with such method might not.

Hi all developers! I reinstalled this beautiful game. But the replay is showing sync error. Hugs!

Sadly, sync errors are produced when trying to load replays from older versions. I guess you tried to load a replay which you recorded before 1.702?

No. The current version is [IP address redacted] that I have. And presents sync error on replays. And is not trying to review games on older versions, only the version 1.7.0.2.

Is it on an official EF map and have you ever edited the EasternFront.module file?

if I'm not mistaken was Demyansk map.

I did not edit the file, just installed the new version. How do I edit the file?

Jumbo is no more the reward unit for the Calliope, which means the US faction has one less unit as reward, we might add one more or not in the future, although right now we cannot think of anything that fits.

About That i think i have a pretty nice tank that will fit for the Americans, since the soviets have a ISU -152 , Germans Tiger 2 , give the Americans a T28\T95 Tank Destroyer I mean that will even the odds when playing as American

Well, besides being super-heavy prototypes, they never left the US and got scrapped after 2 years. So, no.

Honestly, I would love to put in an M36B in place of the Pershing, it would have less armor, but give it a higher range and let it benefit from Sherman upgrades (Smoke, mainly).

It has been a while since my last show up. I have just tested the new patch out and I must say it must be an awesome work y'all doing. And could I ask will the VPGS AT grenade get animated, the Zis-2 AT gun dug out reanimated. And could the CS be able to ride tanks too ? Because I find it quite useful when combine their detection radius with the agility of T-34  8). Last thing, how much damage will the infantries garrison in the new out post take from MG because mine are being tore apart when sitting duck in there.
