Game refusing to start

[asfcobra]

Ok, so I just recently installed EF (I have the steam version) and patched it up, etc. I also can confirm I have the newest version of CoH. However, whenever I go to launch, this occurs.




The entire message displayed under Details is read as:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am on Windows Vista Basic 64 bit - If you need any other specs please ask me.

Hi

I notice your launcher version isn't the same as mine (3.1.0.0).  I'm not sure if that has any bearing on this issue, but perhaps one of the patches hasn't applied correctly?

Ok, I will go repatch.
Post Merge: March 27, 2010, 03:32:42 PMOk, well I updated the launcher to the appropriate version. Now whenever I click Start Eastern Front, nothing happens. I checked the processes as well, nothing starts or even attempts to boot up. Ideas?

Make sure it runs as admin
