Title: Total Failure of MoD
Post by: mystic-eye on September 21, 2010, 09:16:57 AM
I was an avid fan of the Eastern front mod for a long time. I even offered space to download the Mod when it first came out. I think this mod has REAL potential...but...when I tried to reinstall the mod I got nothing but grief.

-slow download speed from hell.
-told me I couldn't install with ?"! characters etc
-refused to install a desktop shortcut that worked
-now it's told me that my company of heroes directory doesn't exist

OK wtf guys? I'm a patient and understanding guy. I'm not a computer noob. I've installed this Mod before, but now it's totally f'd up and LITERALLY unplayable due to the fact that I've punched a hole in the keyboard from trying to reinstall it.

Who's the f u c k t a r d that has ruined the  before...easy installation of your mod?

:: edit::   why is it trying to install to:
C:\Users\"my username"\Downloads\{pf}\THQ\Company of Heroes

as a default?

Well, lets settle some facts first.

We do not own ModDB servers. It's like blaming the boss because the weather is hot.

You tell us, it tries to detect your CoH directory, I don't know why it tries to install it threre, perhaps doesn't have the necessary permisions or you have screwed your CoH registry.

I helped some users before perhaps I can help you. As you already said, you aren't a computer noob, perhaps will make things easier, what drives to the next question:

Do you want help to solve this or just wrote that down to release your frustration?
