Can't start the mod
« on: April 15, 2011, 03:49:51 PM »
Hi,

i have a problem to start the mod.
I downloaded the mod and installed it.
Now, if i start the EF launcher it checks for new updates.
Then there is a message, that the mod is up to date.
but if i press the play button, an error message comes with the same text, that EF is up to date(look at the picture).
and when i click the "ok" button, nothing happens.



I reinstalled the mod some times, but i have always the same prob.

I don't play the game with steam.
I have the current version of coh (2.601)...

I have no idea how i can solve the problem.

Try opening the "settings" menu (top left of the launcher window), check if the "game directory" is set/correctly set, set the correct path, if that proves to be otherwise.

And really, try searching through the tech support forum - this kind of requests for help are very common, you know.

Seems to be so...
And you're still having problems?
What EF installation file did you use? The latest version is EF_Setup1.3.1.0_full.exe

Well you can try it manually. Just create a CoH shortcut to bind the mod.

Frankly, I wouldn't know  :(
Could be some registry issue, but that's up to Blackbishop to solve this kind of problems.

"c:\spiele\thq\company of heroes\relicCoH.exe" -dev -mod -eastern_front
this is to be inserted into shortcut->properties->object

Though, I doubt it can help.

You don't have a "RelicCoH" looks like you renamed it to "Company of Heroes" instead.

Rename it again to RelicCoH.
