Eastern Front not working on Steam (update)
« on: January 06, 2014, 08:59:40 PM »
Hello comrades,

We have talked with Relic, and they said they were unaware of the changes made and they are going to look at it.

I know you are waiting for the new release to check the latest announced stuff, but it is better to wait for the right people to fix this issue.

So, I hope you can bear with us the situation. And don't worry, we will be back soon!

Thanks for your support,

You need to activate the key itself. Not the normal CoH games. Library -> add game -> activate product key -> type in your product key. After that you'll have access to the new steam version.

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

Personally for me the most important news is that project EF won't be suspended.

Greetings

Thanks very much !

In these days I played couples of times ToV with Computer. I am pretty sure without EF, I wouldn't buy CoH. :(

Hello
Guys, you're very simple-hearted if you believe that Relic allows again to modding this game. EF is inconvenient for CoH2. If you don't belive this you should go to "community.companyofheroes.com". You will see there some topics refer to blocking modding activity by last patch. You will see also that in these topics is not replies from Relic or admin/mod forum. They pretend blind. This quote was wrote on 01-07-2014 by Relic Community Manager "We're aware of the issues that players have been experiencing since the last update to Company of Heroes and are working to investigate and then resolve them."but on topic where other people complains on bugs with multiplayer games like ranking errors, automatch error etc. In this topic nobody mentioned about  mods. Topics in "modding" are absolute opposite. There is no answer from Relic. Even guy from this forum "dArCReAvEr" is asking today if are any news.

Relic rarely answers in topics(about modding), but they answer our emails. Otherwise I'd not have been in contact with them for a while.

They have their own agenda though, and I think this fix will take some time to arrive.

I hope I'm wrong and this update will arrive. I'd like to see EF again in action.

GeneralRodrigues,

RU
Если так сильно хотите играть, установите CoH 2.602 и совместите с EF 2.210  :)

EN
If you want to play so much, set CoH 2.602 and align with EF 2.210 :)
