Launcher wont let me change the directory
« on: December 15, 2010, 03:22:40 PM »
when I push the play button it says "eastern front is up to date" so I found the problem: my mod game and mod are in c\program files\steam\steamapps\common\CoH\ but it says that it is in C\steam\steamapps\common\CoH\. But the launcher wont let me change the directory....what do I have to do?

What do you mean?

Eastern Front shall be installed on this path(in your case, if you have 64 bits OS check again if it's the correct path) "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes\" if it's installed on any other folder will fail.

If you installed EF on steam CoH you should select the path manually from EF launcher settings menu, do not try to write the path on the text box, you should select it with the button next to it.

If that doesn't work, you should look for windows' registry. Open regedit(Start menu->Run->regedit) and search for this path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes" if you have 64 bits OS seek for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes".

Back up(right click->export) the registry, change it's extension to txt and post it here.
