i have some problems...

[andrei_tupolev]

first of all thanks for this mod, sorry for bad english im from turkey,
im new eastern front player and i downloaded 1.30 version.

1st problem: i took classic message "unable to locate coh directory." then i saw a topic, he was telling a solve for the problem, i tried and it work. but it goes directly to the game, not by launcher. how can i update my eastern front?

2nd problem: when i win or lose game doesnt end, theres no you're victorious or you've been defeated message, then i click main menu, it says skirmish loss confirmed im waiting for your helps comrades.

and a bug report, when the game starts i see my terittory all black in minimap and nothing works, when i click menu and click resume, it fixes it. is it normal?

Did you installed any other mod besides EF?

The solution to "unable to locate coh directory." is to add some registry entries or reinstall CoH, as explained on the list of issues and fixes topic. But as looks like your CoH has something else screwed and you don't have other choice than reinstalling CoH.

Reinstall CoH, update it up to 2.601, then reinstall & update EF. If you have CoH over steam, make sure the install path of EF is the correct one. If after installing CoH & EF the "unable to locate coh directory." error persists, could you provide your company of heroes directory and your OS?

All downloaded files are saved to your hard drive anyway, so, you just have to find them.
Besides, try uninstalling, and then re-installing the mod (EF), not the game itself, since it might be the mod installation issue.

Best wishes!

[Blackbishop]

ok... do you have the same error? could you post your coh directory? do you use a 64 bits OS?

[andrei_tupolev]

C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes
this is my coh directory.

I'm using pentium4, 32bit OS.

[Blackbishop]

Btw, which error do you get, problem 1 or problem 2? (from your first post)

If it's problem #1, try running the attached file, then try to run EF using the launcher.

If it's problem #2... Did you download all the updates for 1.30? (currently 2)
The launcher should download them, if not, in that case you can try installing manually.

attached file doesnt work..

my first problem is about launcher. but i found a way to skip launcher and get in the game. it skips launcher so i cant say "check for updates". my problem is this.

my second problem is in-game problems, they're not important, important one is launcher problem.

Could you post an screenshot of your CoH directory??

Also, could you post an screenshot of CoH or EF main menu?

[andrei_tupolev]

i'm posting them in order of tales of valor main menu, eastern front main menu and directory of coh.
And a note: you see a guy on tales of valor menu, sometimes i see him in eastern front menu, is it normal?

Looks like everything is right... do you install the updates for 1.30???

http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=2533.0

if not, download them and install them, make sure the install path is the correct one.

1.30 has some missing files, that could be the reason your game has problems.

Also, could you open regedit(start menu->run) and search for this key?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Company of Heroes

then right-click over the folder and select export. Could you upload that file here? Perhaps you will need to zip that file or change its extension before doing it.

i installed updates in the link, but it doesnt work..
here's the file
