ef 1.4 launcher error
« on: June 03, 2011, 03:01:22 AM »
i had E F 1.4 working fine until i installed a diff game which changed my direct x, then game wouldnt start so i changed it back uninstalled both coh and E F then reinstalled and fully patched but the EF launcher encounters an error and needs to close everytime i open it. Coh works fine just EF has problems.

would uninstalling and then reinstalling EF possibly work too?  :-\

The launcher could crash for three reasons:

  • Because you don't have .NET Framework 3.5 installed.
  • Because you didn't run it with admin rights.
  • Because you have the autoupdate feature enabled and our server is not available.


So, respectively, the solutions for those problems are:

  • Download and install .NET Framework 3.5.
  • Run it with admin rights.
  • Disable the autoupdater as described in the link above or create a shorcut to avoid using the launcher.
