EF mod won't run - stuck at 'News, Language, Feedback' window.

[Sablicious]

-Installed CoH: ToV fresh

-Installed all patches up to and including 2.601

-Installed EF mod

-Installed 1.2.0.0 launcher(?) update

All I get when I click the shortcut created is the window mentioned in the thread title.  If I try click the EF logo I get a pop-up window that asks me if I want go to the EF website.

A li'l help?  : /


NB: I have other mods/maps installed, though they don't seem to cause any issues with anything else.

Did you install 1.2.0.0 from the Launcher or from the news on main page?

Please post a screenshot

That's^ all I get.  If I try click the actual logo a pop-up box that takes me to the home page appears.  Isn't there supposed to be a 'Start' or 'Play' tab...?  Before I added the update the game worked, but the Soviets were locked out.  Hence why I downloaded the update - in the hope it would fix the Soviet issue.


Please don't tell me I have to re-download the entire 630-odd Megs of it?!   

Isn't there an update?  I thought that's what the 'launcher update' (87.8Mb) was...? 

[Blackbishop]

Well, the version that you have its the oldest one i'm afraid ... therefore you need to download the the entire 630-odd Megs version and after installing, click on "Check for Updates".

If you don't have a decent internet connection, you can download it from your work if you can ... I suggest to download and install JDownloader, it works great as manager !!! Well, at least you can pause the files of the EF site.

Well... good night .

[Sablicious]

Okay.  I'll download the lot again... if I must.    Will let you know.

Though, I don't see why that supposed 'launcher update' I downloaded doesn't simply update the old version...?  Is the latest version so different?

[Blackbishop]

In fact has evolved too much ... If you have EF 1.0 even isn't compatible with 1.01 ...

[Sablicious]

Okay!  Got it working.  Thanks 

Seems pretty good so far.  Couple of issues though:

-It won't let me build a bunker with Soviet engineers saying it has to be in a secure location, not matter how close I build it to the base.

-Is there anyway to equip/activate/allow engineers (or any unit) of any faction with explosive charges in this mod?  It helps a heap at choke points and stops cheesy early-game rushes.  If not, are there any tutorials on how to add this ability?  (*The Europe At War mod has this with the Wehrmacht faction).

1-Outpost must be treated as secure point . You shall build it over a MP/Muni/Fuel point and also serve as reinforcement point.
2-Sturmovie Ingenery upgrade from Armory will do the trick.

[Sablicious]

Gotcha on the outposts thing.  But by Ingenery upgrade, are you referring to the satchel charges upgrade the builders can be equipped with?  If so, I know about these - they're okay for small overpass-type bridges.  But is there anything you can PLANT like what the Axis have?  Something you can detonate...?


Feedback so far:
-no select sound on bunkers
-rocket launchers don't raise when Studebaker fires payload
