Can I play EF without the CD???
« on: August 20, 2010, 02:57:11 AM »
I recently downloaded EF (in the process of downloading) and I just read somewhere you need to insert one of the COH disks at least once in order to play. I got back from school this summer and found my CDROM drive no longer works. Ive been trying to fix it and have tried everything short of bringing it to a Comp store but i cant fix it. Is there anyway id be able to bypass The inserting the CD and start playing. I have the CD keys for the games and everything. PLEASE HELP!!! ??? ???

You can play EF without the CD in it as far as i know. I know it should wok with the normal CoH game, so it should also apply to EF.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.

You won't be asked to do such thing unless:

a) You have Retail CoH.

b) You play with Steam CoH with an account that has registered a Retail Key.

And:

a) Your internet connection drops.

b) There's a lot of traffic and your request to relic' server times out.

c) Server is down.
