Launcher will not start
« on: February 05, 2012, 02:53:28 AM »
I reinstalled this mod 2 times already and the launcher will still not work, it keeps crashing on me when I click it. I am running on the Steam version of CoH. Also every time when I try to remove this mod from my files, everything deletes EXCEPT the EF Launcher.exe and error will keep coming up.

Any help would be appreciated

I have Windows 7

Could you upload the log for the launcher?

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

Also, remember that the launcher needs .NET Framework 3.5 in order to work, if you haven't it will crash no matter if you have a higher version installed. Be sure to install the redistributable libraries, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 and 2008(either for x86 or x64 depending of your Operative System).

EF won't start for me either. It might once of out 10 to 20 clicks, but otherwise it just sits.

Have you tried creating a shorcut?

Yeah, I have the retail version of COH if that matters (on DVDs)

It's started twice now for me, but it's still very unpredictable. Sometimes it will start, other times it will just hang. The same thing happened to me with Half-Life 2... I wasn't launching EF/COH from Steam though.

The launcher behaves weird when you have two CoH directories.
