1: You can see from that picture, it often appear in the game, Almost everytime.

2: And I often got kick out of the game.

3: The game will go dead if we play "Operations" in the Eastern front mod.

4: Last time I asked Eastern front developer guys about the performance issue, about the launcher is a middle man program, so it will use more resources, I ask developer guys if there is a way to cut off the middle man, in the end, developer guy made the shortcut afterwards. Thanks guys  :)
So I have another question: Shortcut does indeed boost the eastern front performance, but its still lower than the normal game, so is there a way to make the eastern front completely blind into the game and we no longer need shortcut, and can just play it like a normal game. Ever since I got Eastern front mod, I never played normal game anyway. And this way, we may even add another mod on top of the eastern front.  :P

Seems like a you problem. Even if EF uses more resources it's barely noticeable. Try turning your settings down.

The bug on the point #1 is alredy fixed, and the patch should be released soon.

I don't think the launcher needs too much resources and that it's causing you lag, it is more probable than RelicDownloader is the problem. But if you want to get rid of the launcher, you can read the topic "How to create an Eastern Front shorcut" stickied in this section.

About the blue cube, any indication of what you did in order to appear? Or it is there from the begining?

Quiet simple. It's on my map Leningrad. As we changed the paths of the wrecks (including the Jagdtiger one which is supposed to be there) the game is unable to find the model :P. Will inform Maxi to remove it.

HI, Black Bishop, you don't remember? Orignially was me who asked you about launcher being the middle man program and asked you if you have a way to get ride of the launcher.  You then introduced Shortcut and posted shortcut to everyone.
And yes, there is noticable performance reduction in EF even with shortcut. (But using shortcut is still way better than use the launcher).

And you mentioned something about RelicDownloader may be my problem, so how can I get ride of the RelicDownloader? Can you teach me? Thanks for your attention.

RelicDownloader is the program that monitors CoH for updates and starts everytime you run CoH(thus any CoH based mod as well). In order to remove it you can try this:

[...]

Close RelicDownloader.exe when starting Eastern Front, it could help to prevent crashes!!
If you have Retail CoH, you can go to Company of Heroes\RelicDownloader and rename RelicDownloader.exe to RelicDownloader.exe.bak (or whatever you want). If you have Steam version, you need to configure CoH to avoid checking for updates automatically otherwise will be creating RelicDownloader everytime you start CoH.

If you are unable to delete that file for any reason, you can just close it after starting CoH in the system tray section(right click over the program and select close, then confirm when prompted).
