[2.300] Error suddenly started
« on: February 04, 2016, 09:35:20 PM »
Hey all,

Yesterday I could play normally.

Today it doesn't start with an error:
Quote
Game is not being run as a known Company of Heroes product. Try again by launching game from Steam.

- verified game files;
- reinstalled EF.
- AV and any protection is off.

I can't find any solution.. suggestions?

Kind regards,
Me

Start CoH normally but with -dev -mod eastern_front parameter. Don't trust the launcher.

That error happens when you have installed any Company of Heroes mod from STEAM. If you delete the file steam_appid.txt it will stop giving you that error... until you run again the STEAM mod for COH you have installed.

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

I don't.. just plain CoH and the EF Mod..

Start CoH normally but with -dev -mod eastern_front parameter. Don't trust the launcher.

That worked, indeed. Thanks!
