Incorrect Version Online

Could you and your friend uninstall EF, check that all files were removed and install again?

You can keep the EF_Updates folder if you like though, so you can update without using the launcher. Also, has your friend CoH 2.601 too?

If you like before applying each update, if you have time, you can try joining on a match(not to play just for test), to detect if that happens when you install 1.20 or later when you install some patch.

Ok, we'll uninstall and reinstall one more time, and test each patch to see if its the patching process that causes the error.

I am fairly sure I know where all the EF files are located, but are there any hidden things I should know about? I know about the three Easter Front Folders in the Main Company of Heroes directory.

We will be trying this tomorrow.  I'll post results then.

Thanks so much for all your help, this mod is the best modification I've ever played for any videogame, it's great to receive such support for it.  This is better than Relic!

At least you and your friend have to make sure that Eastern Front directory(CoH Directory\Eastern Front) doesn't exists after uninstall.

You never answered, do have you a "CoH Folder\WW2\Data" or a "CoH Folder\WW2\Dataattrib" folders? (either of you?).

@Rizz:  Sorry, I completely missed your question.  Yes, both he and I have a CoH/WW2/Data directory.   Thats where all my sgb custom maps go.  The only thing IN the Data directory is scenarios/mp.  Why do you ask?  They're only custome maps, I can't imagine thats causing a conflict?  Should we try backing it up and deleting it?

My friend and I uninstalled EF and deleted all the EF folders.  We then redownloaded the 1.20 full install, and installed it to our games.  I booted up, installed no updates, and hosted a game.  He launched EF, installed no updates, and then CoH asked him to indicate where he purchased CoH?  Like it was a first time launch of something?  We indicated Steam, but it didn't like that, and it didn't like Retail Store either.  We booted up his VCoH, and now it asks him the same thing when booting that version as well, and it won't let him play CoH at all!

I have that problem every time I install CoH it seems.  It always wants me to insert my CoH CD, when I obviously don't have one.  Why is it so retarded like that?

[Blackbishop]

Tell him to go Steam->Library->Local Files->Verify Integrity of Game Cache, perhaps he deleted a Steam file.

You can download the 1.21 patch from here, after installing it you can update with the launcher, but i think that will be done later .

Do you have a Retail Key associated? Well, that's the problem of including a "DRM" on a version that doesn't need it... Oh Relic... when will you fix your mess.

[Rikard Blixt]

Simply sounds like Relic Online is offline, that happens then.

The maps should not cause conflict, but maybe your friend has other stuff there? Like art files, or a dataattrib.
