You need to have the steam version of coh after 1.8 Eastern front only works with it. Hope I helped.

Yes, version 2.700 is the newest.

However, as you're saying your pc is up to date enough for playing CoH and it keeps freezing:

There always has been an issue with "ultra" texture details in graphic options. The setting creates problems with the game, leading to crashes, freezes etc. Not only Eastern Front, but every mod suffers from this problem.

I'd advise you to put the texture details to "high" instead (if you don't already have).

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

I wonder if you haven't installed correctly EF. Could you upload your warnings.log?
