shortcut issue
« on: October 03, 2010, 07:31:04 AM »
I have been playing the mod for a while, no problems, go to play today, and my shortcut is telling me "eastern front mod does not appear to be installed on your system. Try reinstalling Eastern front to continue."
So, if I go in and check my path location, everything is still good, the odd thing is if I go into "settings" turn off auto update and just run the game its fine.  So the shortcut still sees the game when I actually launch, but when it tries to check for updates it can't find it.

I guess you have 1.20, if not try here.

You can update from here 1.2.1.0 then 1.2.20 and so on up to 1.2.3.2.

About your error, do you have steam or retail CoH?

I dont think im out of date on the updates, I put them all in about 3 weeks ago when i reinstalled everything.  i think it updated 6-7 times in a row when i ran it.  I have steam.  Like I said before, everything worked 2-3 days ago, I didn't change anything, and the game still works if I skip the auto update.  I have maps in, but i did that over a week ago, and everything ran great.  maybe my registry cleaner did something I don't know about, but i dont usually run that program on that specific hard drive

Could you open regedit(start menu->run->regedit) look for these keys and export them(right click on the folder then choose export) and paste the content here?
