Title: 3 problems with EF
Post by: FatalFlashBack on August 30, 2010, 05:33:26 PM
hello all,

after the new update, i get the following problems:
1: launcher says the EF mod is not installed,
2: launching the game takes 7 minutes, and then i still need to go trough the splash screens and movies,
3: I can't see any non-EF games, and only 3 or 4 EF games, however I am sure there should be more.

I got all 3 VCoH games,
patched up to 2.601,
using the latest EF updates, no skin mods or edited files,
also reinstalling CoH AND EF did NOT fix it

does anyone know a solution?

If you are installing CoH and EF again... Did you make sure all the files were wiped out before installing again?

Sometimes windows OS likes too much some files and will "fight" to protect them... I mean the installer could left behind some files; make sure you delete them all.

EDIT:
For your #2 problem you can defrag your hard disk or increase (http://www.delete-computer-history.com/increase-virtual-memory.html) the paging file if you can.

For #3 you can arrange matchs here(in some place at this forum).

ok, i'll try to reinstall, and wipe the hard drive, and register?

but, before i had the EF mod, i was able to see EF games, but i couldn't join them, now everything disapeared?
I tought EF players also were able to join non EF games, but i can't?
or is that because of edited files?

yeah, make sure you delete all CoH & EF files before installing again. You can use CCleaner to do the registry job.

And yes, if you play with EF you cannot join to vCoH games because it's a unofficial add-on(mod).
