Can't play online game
« on: March 24, 2011, 06:18:38 PM »
As you can see in the other forum section, I've tried to play some Pvp games this afternoon but something doesn't work.  :(  :'(

When I invite players, the game say: "incompatible version, invitation canceled".

When I try to join in a game it say "You can't join in this game, you can't connect at it".

I've tried to re-install all Ef and patch all again (CoH version: 2.601 EF Version: 1.3.0.2).

I tried to remove skin pack, the only external file is the original german voices.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

did you modified an EF file? perhaps the other guys had a different version.

Do you have more than 1 mod? Maybe this the problem but i don't know. If everthing will not work, try this - unistall all CoH and reinstall CoH and EF. Maybe this would help. Really dunno what is your problem.

Me, Cephalos and MaxiKing6? Not possible.

With "different" version I mean:

  • Use older versions
  • Have skin mods
  • Changed any EF file(unofficial fixes, e.g. Penal Troops suppression fix)

What about the other two?

1) All updated

2) Only a skin pack but it's uninstalled...I've got only the german voices (it's a skin mod?)
No other mods.

3) No, nothing, all is original and un-changed.

That also applies for your partners not only for you.

Have you tried to play against different people?

Did you make sure that no files from a previous EF install were there?

Now IJoe says it, @Moonwalker: remember that ModDB has the full installer for 1.3.1.0.

I was specifically talking about vanilla patches after 2.5, since that's where my vanilla CoH installer brings me. So some long time ago I had those downloaded, but still, I constantly forget to implement them, once the installer is finished, thus ending up with the latest EF installed (afterwards) but unable to play. In that case just install these patches (even after EF), - it will still work out well.

I'm using Relic downloader, I'v already download all patches except 2.400/2.500 (the biggest one).

I'm forced to using OF for install instead ToV because RD with ToV doesn't start  :-\

About Ef download, is better ModDB or File Front?

Turn off that shitty thing immediately!
Just download the patches you need from here, and have them on your hard drive:http://cohpatch.relic.com/

EDIT: link corrected
