Title: Could not connect to EF server!!! [HELP]
Post by: duendemago on February 02, 2012, 10:59:53 PM

Good day all

I opened the EF launcher all excited about the new patch, but the message i have is this: "could not connect to EF server. turning off autoupdate. you can re enable this in settings later. please restart your EF launcher" so if i click "OK" it only crashes and nothing happens...

So im wondering where can i have the latest patch to download manually....The game runs fine if i open it from the direct access from windows....

Strange bug...thanks guys

You are so kind

And the strange thing is that the launcher it also "cant locate COH". The official fix i have tried, with no success because the registry path for win 64 indicates a COH branch but i only have a steamapp4560, anyway, the reg path is fine, everything is setup to the steam folder install

But well, i can run it directly from the desktop, so who cares, i just wanted to share this also strange bug

thanks again for this amazing MOD which i hope will be a standalone version for the new COH



have a nice day all

You need to create a new branch in the registry and add the InstallLocation key.

I guess so, because if i try to install the new patch it says that "this is not a valid win32 application" :(

But i already have COH at the location i provided above: ¨[hklocalmachine so on so on] uninstall---STEAMAPP 4560 so i dont know if i may affect the launching of the game by adding the new path

thanks

You need admin rights or open the registry editor with admin rights to do that.
