Turn off that shitty thing immediately!

Why? I'm patching vCoH ATM, I'll set up all EF tomorrow when I'll come home from work.

Usually for patching EF I use the auto-patcher on the EF Lanucher, there's something wrong with it?

Why download it all every time, if you can run it from your own PC, as you have download it once already (unless you've deleted it later on)l?
I mean, all you download with either of these two programmes is stored on your PC. So why should you do it every time anew?
Ah well, you've got your own head, so it's for you (and only) to decide.

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?

Use this for CoH patches:

For EF Full version use Download Manager + File Front. I use JDownloader for those tasks ;).

Just download the patches you need from here, and have them on your hard drive:http://files.easternfront.org/ef_patch/
Those patches are outdated XD!!! Only will be useful as part of a museum XD!!

The EF updates are here:
[Company of Heroes main directory]\EF_Updates
To find vanilla patches search PC for 2500_2501_Patch.exe or 2501_2502_Patch.exe or 2502_2600_Patch.exe or 2600_2601_Patch.exe

Just save all you find necessary (f.e. all vanilla patches above you version you end up with after the initial installation) to any voluntarily picked location on your hard drive/write it down on DVD.

Sorry for the wrong link, I've miss-clicked it  :-[
Here's the right one: http://cohpatch.relic.com/

Don't use RelicDownloder, that is for the weaks ;D!! Besides is buggy. That's why IJoe and me posted alternate sites. You only needed to install ToV and download the patches from there :(.

Ok, I will remember it for the next (I hope no) time.

Anyway, seems work, I can see games in the lobby.  :D :D

I should try to join in a game, I will let you know.

What can be happen?  ???

I've found the problem...it's my skin pack  :-\

Compatible with vCoH (multy and singleplayer) but not with EF (only Skirmishes).
