Title: Doesnt work with steam
Post by: RedArmyCCCP on January 21, 2010, 05:54:07 PM
Downloaded and installed the mod without error.

Pointed the installer to my coh directory within steam. As a result I have:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes\EF_launcher.exe

When I click either the shortcut or the EF_launcher.exe it actually opens a window which says choose language. I set the language and then it says the launcher has to be restarted. I close the laucnher and open it again and its the same thing.

Basically I am not getting an option to start the game.
Any ideas what I did wrong ?

This is a known error. Try reinstalling the mod.

The CoH icon on the desktop doesn't make any difference. Which language are you choosing for the launcher? Does it affect them all?

Do you have a folder called "EF_LauncherData" with a file called "EFL_Languages.ini" in your Company of Heroes Folder.

If you do, what size is it?

install in your company of heroes folder e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes.  this is the solution that worked for me.

What language is your CoH using?

So far I tried on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with steam, about to try it on XP x86 also with steam.

Well, the launcher tells me to choose a language, and I chose English. The version of windows I"m using is English, and so is the Company of Heroes language in steam is English.

Forwarding this to Hawk, since it seems to be a Launcher issue, and he's the Launcher guy.

Edit:

Hawk would like a screenshot.
