« on: April 09, 2011, 05:35:13 AM »
I was siked when I got this mod, but when I go to load up a 3 v 3 match the map loads but wont play. I can play 1 v 1 but nothing above that not even the original maps. In most cases it loads about 60-75 percent then the program just stop and I have to restart my computer but recently I uninstalled it then reinstalled it the map loaded then stoped at the the "press any button to play" and the game stopped. please anyone HELP I want to play this so damn bad!!

do you use low settings?

IDK but I did get the Gold Edition off of THQ website, it was an electronic download through the internet. Would that have any problems?

Nope. What I'm trying to say is that Eastern Front uses more resources than CoH games, hence if you barely play any CoH game in medium settings, in EF you will have to run it in low settings.

You can lower your game settings in CoH main menu->Options->Graphics

Follow the instructions in the pictures below.
I set the setting/graphics to the lowest in the 3rd picture, so basically just do the same, when you get there.

NP.  ;)
Now you can gradually try to increase the settings little by little, 'till you start experiencing some troubles.
Note: there's actually a pop-up kind o' help-notes to help you figure out, how changing a particular setting will affect your system (CPU, video card, memory). You may want to pay attention to these, while configuring.
