Title: Adapting EF for CoH v2700.2.22
Post by: I_am_a_Spoon on December 25, 2013, 02:41:20 PM

Hi guys. :-\



I have no idea whether the recent DLL lockout can be mitigated by your team, or even if Relic/Smoking Gun Interactive have any intention of fixing it... but if necessary, maybe you could think about amalgamating your existing content into four factions rather than six so that custom DLLs can be avoided?


For example:

Faction 0: Western Allies (U.S.A. + Great Britain)
Faction 1: Westarmee (Wehrmacht + Panzer Elite)
Faction 2: Soviet Union
Faction 3: Ostheer


OR, alternatively (this would be my ideal set-up... but I'm willing to bet you won't like it):

Faction 0: U.S.A.
Faction 1: Nazi Germany (new combination of Wehr, PE and Ostheer)
Faction 2: Great Britain
Faction 3: Soviet Union



Just a suggestion, I realise how you you must feel right now. Good luck, and all the best regardless.

With your suggestion we would have to create and balance and rework 4 "new" factions.
This would be a hell of work.
So out of my view; no chance here. Sorry.

No, two 'newish' merger factions. And then your custom factions would simply need to overwrite an existing vCoH faction; that way, the FactionFix DLL (and others) could be omitted and the fatal crash averted.

I'm just throwing around ideas mate, I fully understand the magnitude of such a merger. It's more of a contingency suggestion, assuming nothing else works out.

Devs are not going to replace or even touch any of existing original factions/campaigns of CoH.

Ok. Hopefully the team finds a way to avert the DLL lockout issue then.

Or an "upgrade" that let you choose the faction of the 1st minute ingame rather choose the faction in the lobby. But that's pretty complicated too

Those who still kept the original Company of Heroes game (before transition to steam) can still play offline games with the Easternfront mod

Is this so?

I have CoH Steam installed with EF and it doesn't work, of course.

I have CoH Disc installed on another drive. It does work and works even so with LAN. Can EF be installed to this and it would work? And with LAN?

If so, what version of patch should CoH be and what version of patch for EF?

You can simply download or install ToV 2.602 from steam or install it from disc parallel to new steam version.

and keep in mind to replace the factionfix.dll with the factionfixold.dll
