Wrong section dude.

Right after getting the error, upload your scarlog here.

This quote may help you to find the files:

If you have any other problem or wasn't fixed by the advices on this thread, you can open a topic about it, just remember to upload the files just right after getting the error:

warnings.log
Located on My Games\Company of Heroes\. For any Eastern Front related errors.

scarlog.####.####.txt
Located on My Games\Company of Heroes\LogFiles. For SCAR related errors. Replace the "#" for the current date and time.

somefile.dmp
Only for game crashes.
Located on:
WinXP -> C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp(you can access faster if you use the run box with %temp% command).

Win Vista & 7 -> C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp(you can access faster if you use the run box with %temp% command).

Or in weird cases, sometimes in C:\WINDOWS\Temp (you can access faster if you use the run box with temp command).

The dmp file has a generic name but you should be able to identify it by checking the date of creation.

EF_Launcher_Log.txt
Located on CoH Directory\.
Only for Launcher issues.

Screenshots
When possible you can upload screenshots of your error to make it easier to identify. Either you can upload them using an external server such imageshack, tinypic or your favorite one, or use EF's option(before submiting a reply, Additional Options->Attach).

thats the point, it doesn't says SCAR error.....
ik know wat a SCAR error is(had it during EF patch 1.3)

[Blackbishop]

And what it says?

[jwvd]

nothing..
the game just pauses(or so)
the hq area is black and mp is 0...

[Blackbishop]

I think you should do a clean install of EF(uninstall, wipe out survivors & reinstall).

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

nothing..
the game just pauses(or so)
the hq area is black and mp is 0...

Post the scarlog of the date and time.

EDIT: Sounds like a bug that occours very rare.

Hmm you sure that you updated vCoH and EF to the latest version and that you don't have a cracked version of the game? The problem is that it can't find the FactionFix so it's probably missing or has been deleted. The last question is if you can play a mulitplayer game at all=

[jwvd]

i have 2.602(the latest one..)
and i can play online, or im a cheater and got to lvl10 by cheating?(ofc not)
the EF launcher says its up to date with no new patches...
ill go and check the EF patch

EDIT: the patch is 1.5.1.0(the launcher says so)

[Blackbishop]

Could you post your warnings.log?

[jwvd]

i posted the file, if id copy the text it would take you guys years?

[Blackbishop]

That's not the warnings.log, that is warnings.2011-10-10.14-45-52.txt. Warnings.log is located outside of LogFiles folder.

[jwvd]

where do i find warnings.log?
outside in the documents-COH is only a warnings, not a warnings.log

[Blackbishop]

If you cannot see the extension check the properties of the file, it should say it's a log file. Other than that, most probably the warnings file there is the warnings.log
