I have downloaded the latest version of Eastern Front and installed it on CoH steam relaunch version2700.2.42 and I get the following error Game is not being run as a known CoH product try again by loading the game from steam.When I load from steam no eastern front.I have attached the warnings file from the launcher. Any help would be appreciated than you

That is not a bug on the mod, it is a issue at your end because you downloaded a Steam version of a mod.

There was a topic in the community of EAW mod in Steam that talks about how to fix it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/342370/discussions/3/620713633860530873/

Thanks for your help looked at the steam approach and changed the launch parameters works perfectly now again thanks

Hey Devs, would you happen to have any direct input on this issue?  This thread isn't on Steam's forums isn't all that descriptive.  I don't know how deejon figured it out.  I installed the Beta for EF and I'm experiencing the same thing now.  I'm in the process of figuring it out at the moment.

Edit:

As usual, I went and did more googling like I should have before posting and found this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/228200/discussions/0/611698195148334609/?insideModal=1 [nofollow]

This worked for me; I found it to be more descriptive of what the solution was.
