Thanks blackbishop/bonacha,

I will look for the steam app map and move the files into this directory and let you know.  Btw I don't have a pirated version.

The only way we know to get a working key is to purchase it on steam.

Can I ask a small question?

I am thinking to buy the COH from steam, but I only see the original COH and the other 2 expansions, which priced 9.99 and 19.99.

1. If I am using the COH, I will still able to play this mod? Seems that the original COH does not include British and PE.
2. In the steam store, I see that there is only one COH and is it the COH (new steam/ 2013) as mentioned?
3. Is there a way to play it offline? Connecting to steam is sometimes a problem for slow connections in my country.

Thanks.

As far as I know once you swap from online to offline in the Steam menu you can play offline until you decide to go online again, however, you would need to be online to download coh and play it at least once before going to offline mode I suppose.

What do you mean with the question number 2? It contradicts what you said above :-\.

Btw, there is already a guide that can help you to know what are you going to get depending of your version.

For number 2, I am wondering is the COH I found in this link:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/4560/ - the 9.99 one.
is the COH 2013 or the old COH, as it is not able to identify that.

I don't know the guide and it seems that it requires to online first. (and seems that I cannot open the link, maybe Java problem?)

There is no CoH 2013 at sale, that is given automatically when you purchase one of the old games, which means that one from the link is the first CoH game.

Oh, so I think it is correct when I am getting COH TOV from Steam, hopefully I no need to download them 2 times on that. If I get my steam offline can I play the game without internet/ LAN?

The proper step to step guide is on the first post. What error do you get?

After a long, work related break from trying to get EF to install properly, I'm back and still can't get the program to load correctly.  Blackbishop, is it possible to give me a step by step "guide" on how to install?  I have read and followed the guide posted at the beginning of this thread, have purchased and installed all COH games on Steam. My problem seems to focus around having the EF program in the wrong directory and the fact that I am not a particularly savvy techperson.  I hate to ask but I am considering throwing in the towel.

Many thanks,

You only need "Company of Heroes - New steam version" to play Eastern front. The other versions are redundant.

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

I do have that but what directory should it be in?  I believe my problem is that I have downloaded eastern front to the wrong directory or folder.
