Check EF Launcher->settings menu->CoH directory, make sure it has the correct path.
-
wats the path suppose to be cuase now itsays C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes and that doesnt work
-
Could you post a screenshot of your CoH directory?
-
how do u take a screen shot?
-
Hit prntScr key on the directory, then open paint and paste it.
-
here it is i think

was that right?
-
Yeah, that is. I can see EF files, but i fail to see CoH ones.
You need at least one CoH game (vCoH, OF or ToV) in order to run EF.
-
i have coh the first one and opposing fronts
-
But there isn't a CoH file there. You need to install EF over CoH. Eastern Front isn't a stand alone game, is a mod from Company of Heroes.
-
so should i copy everything from that folder into my steam folder wer company of heroes is?
-
yes, or uninstall it and install it over steam.
-
ok and if that doesnt wrok how would i install it over steam?
-
You need to install it over any CoH game, patched to the last version from here: http://cohpatch.relic.com/index.html (http://cohpatch.relic.com/index.html)
And, you should install EF into the same directory, where you previously installed CoH.
-
i copied it to their and still same thing or do i need to insatll it to their?
-
You won't have problems with steam, trust me ;) (i use EF + Steam CoH).
1)Install it over your company of heroes folder on steam.
2)Then run the launcher.
3)If you are prompted to update, do it, but check that the install path is the correct one for each update (5 in total).
4)After updating go to EF settings and check if CoH directory has the right path, if not fix it.
5)You can play EF.
-
ok thanks so i need to go back to moddb and dowload it again to moy steam coh files right?
-
I edited my previous post, please read it :). You only need to either paste/reinstall EF, change the path on the launcher settings if necessary, and if "unable to locate coh directory" error is shown, use the attached file.
-
so it said some files were sucscefully added to registry wat does that mean? this is afeter ur attachement
-
That mean you added "C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes" as InstallLocation on the registry.
Is that path ok? Try to run the game.
-
nope same problem it keeps saying error up to date
-
Let's try this:
Uninstall Eastern Front. Use the EF uninstaller(unins000.exe), if EF files aren't deleted after this, delete them manually(you will easily recognize EF files) from Company of Heroes directory.
Reinstall Eastern Front v1.20.
After that update the game and make sure the install path is the correct one. After installing all the updates go to launcher settings and check that CoH Directory option be the correct one.
-
ok
-
I'm sorry, i forgot you had 64 bits OS. If you still have the problem try this file.
-
ok im reinstalling it now i thnk i got everything else off of there.
