There's a thread open in general discussion:

Thanks. I saw this one but i didn't get to the page 2 as i was nearly whole written in russian...

I think you should mention this workaround, including a link to the dll, in the front page for the players who prefer to play with your mod while waiting. I may be pessimist but i don't think the fix will come soon.

Yo. Maby you could contact these guys and include their fixes, balance changes to Eastern Front.
So that EF will be the ultimate thing out there. And a true Expansion to the original.

Contact who?

Copied the link but never pasted it

I'm sort of negotiating and investigating already, however it seems that their direction towards "balancing" vCoH is not the way I personally would balance vCoH. They are too occupied fixing stuff that is not broken (apart from sniper mechanics, which we'll feature within our next major EF release once relic gets the patch done). However, time will tell.

Thanks for notifying

Their officer change (to make it a valid unit in a T1-T2-T4 strat), M10 fix and more wasn't dumb though.

Just a heads up.

My steam just downloaded a new patch for CoH New Steam version and the change log says they fixed mod support:

Good news ! Hope it will fix the mod for real !

I guess now is our turn to release a patch 

[CMDRNick]

After it updated, it now plays for like 5 minutes then crashes.....ugh this is disappointing

[I_am_a_Spoon]

Yeah, saw it on FB today [nofollow]. Relic specifically stated that it should fix Eastern Front.

It seems there is a bit of misunderstanding around this new patch and the effect it had on Eastern Front. Do not worry comrades, I'll explain it in layman terms:

Relic didn't fix EF, they "allowed" us to fix it.

So, that means they enabled once more to use our custom factions. But remember every time they update their mod, they break our Strawman fix(recrew) and we need to update it. This is not going to change unless Relic, Smoking Gun Interactive and we work together to release the patch, which it won't happen anytime soon it seems(and not because we don't want, you can be sure about it).

[I_am_a_Spoon]

Good news regardless. I'm glad it got sorted out (somewhat).

I'm not sure how important this is going to be to those working on the latest patch version, but:

- The game actually crashes in LESS than 5min, but it seems to do so after the same amount of time has passed in every game.
- This effects all games, regardless of factions present in-game, including games with 'vanilla' (base and OF) factions ONLY (So not just the new EF added ones). This has been tested through multiple skirmish games, but I expect the campaign missions would be effected as well.

Look forward to seeing the results of the patch once you guys have it ready. I remember there was new building supposedly ready (or very nearly so) for implementation. Any more news with stuff like that?
