Hi guys,
I played the EF mod from the very beginning but stopped with it for several reasons a long time ago.
Because some of the changes within the mod my mate and I decided to give the russian army a second chance.
Unfortunately I´m not able to bring this mod to run the way it should.
I did a clean install in the CoH main folder with the full installation package of version 1.2.0.0. After finishing the installation I ran all the automatic updates and patched EF finally to version 1.2.3.2. All five update files (1.2.1.0, 1.2.2.0, 1.2.3.0, 1.2.3.1 and 1.2.3.2) are placed in the subfolder EF_Updates and the "up to date" massage appears. After adapting the installation path in the setting tab of the EF launcher I could start the game and set up a match.
The problem is we couldn´t join our games. Everytime we send an invite we get a message of incompatible game versions. Due to the fact that other players are able to join to my mate I´m really sure that it is me who have the problem. I´ve searched the forum here and there but none of the tips and hints could solve my problem.
I should say that I´ve installed different skins, sounds and custom maps to "normal" CoH which is fully patched, up to date and perfectly working. There is no other mod than EF installed and (don´t know if this is relevant) I´m not using the -dev mode in any cases.
Does anybody know what´s going on here and how this issue could be fixed?

EDIT:
OK,
I think I found it out by myself. After deleting the skins of my "normal" CoH I was able to find some lobby games and was also able to connect to them.
Maybe it would be usefull and helpful for some of us to update the
List of Issues & Fixes thread [nofollow] because the point mentioning *Skinmods* isn´t really clear because it doesn´t only affect EF but also the CoH setup.
Due to the fact that I like my normal CoH customization I´m not able to play this mod again which is sad but true.
Nevertheless have fun playing this mod.
Rgds.
