This is caused by using an unsupported patch (a patch before 2.400). Please update to the latest patch (2.601).

Besides doing what Seeme said, you should install v1.20 instead if v1.10 and something else... do you have retail or steam coh :P?

You need to download 1.20 full installer at moddb site. This is the link. After installing it on CoH folder you'll need to install a few updates from the launcher. It won't take much time :P.

If you want, you could create a thread on Applications section, there Dev team will listen to you with that matter.

Check that your Launcher has the right path on Settings->CoH Directory. EF shall be installed over CoH Directory, not in anyone else.

OK so I believe I've installed it togehter with the patches, using auto-ugrade thing.
Now when'er I press check for updates it says
"Eastern Front Mod is up to date"
I think I see why...
But when'er I press "Play" it also says:
"Eastern Front Mod is up to date"
and it won't let me play the awesome mod.

@Bonde2002
Read above.

@Lolman112
Do you run EF from the EF_Launcher.exe and runs vCoH? Could you post your warnings.log at your Documents\my games\CoH directory?
