Title: EF just installed on Steam version, after "Play" nothing happens
Post by: ZioKraken on February 01, 2012, 11:22:46 AM: I state that I've already read all similar posts but I've not found a solution to my issue.

These are my facts:
- I've a Windows 7 64 bit installation
- I've already installed COH, OF and TOV on Steam and all are working fine and updated to the last version (2.602)
- EF is correctly installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes and I had no errors with updates

but every time i click "Play" on EF launcher nothing happens... :'(

The EF_Launcher_log.txt report this:

Is there someone who can help me with this problem? ???

Post by: Blackbishop on February 01, 2012, 05:25:49 PM: Open EF launcher, go to settings, check & fix the option named CoH Directory if it points out to a different place rather than your correct directory.
Title: Re: EF just installed on Steam version, after "Play" nothing happens
Post by: ZioKraken on February 01, 2012, 08:25:03 PM: The option CoH directory is correct, it's the same as installation: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes"...

What else?

Post by: Blackbishop on February 01, 2012, 08:38:13 PM: Could you post an screenshot of your CoH directory in order to check it? Make sure all the files appear in the screenshot.

As you can see I've just made an install from scratch of CoH before installing EF.... but still not working...
Title: Re: EF just installed on Steam version, after "Play" nothing happens
Post by: Blackbishop on February 01, 2012, 09:09:55 PM: It is odd indeed, don't know why it doesn't work... maybe you have two versions of CoH installed? (Steam and Retail)

Then you can create a shorcut to make EF run properly:

Title: Re: EF just installed on Steam version, after "Play" nothing happens
Post by: ZioKraken on February 02, 2012, 09:59:17 AM: I've installed Steam version only (no retail) so I've modified the Launch Options in the game Library -> Properties adding "-dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies" and now it works! :)

I can guess now that the problem is the EF launcher itself! May be a bug?

Post by: GodlikeDennis on February 02, 2012, 11:43:17 AM: I'm pretty sure that instruction is covered in the steam install instructions.
