Title: Strange Error
Post by: comradkmw on February 27, 2011, 06:32:26 AM

I looked through the various posts here and didn't see any reference to my issue.  If I missed something, sorry, but I'm at a loss.  Whenever I execute the EF starter I get an error box that states "You need to be connected to the internet to use this feature".  It repeats the error box if I click check for updates.  The game will launch and when I got to skirmish and select soviets, the game loads a little slower than usual.  When it loads the starting area for me or an AI ally are blacked out, there is an MG crew standing by the MG nests and they are unmovable.  I tried to build units but the game is froze.  The icons show in the builder boxes but nothing happens.  I use a wireless adapter to my pc and the internet works just fine.  I run a steam copy of the original COH with retail opposing fronts and tales of valor.  I installed EF in both the steam app file and the retail file.  Any ideas?

You can create an Eastern Front shorcut to avoid this:
