General Discussion / Re: Beta Key - Missing Executable

I got it working with the temporary fix as well.  The main download is still 110-113 MB though, if you try downloading the normal way.  I think I prefer the previous patch anyway haha.

Is the download only supposed to be 110 MB?  I remember it being 2 GB for as long as I've known.

Edit:

The mod still seems to be broken.  People couldn't join my games before I uninstalled earlier today, citing incompatibility (wrong version etc.).  I uninstalled, redownloaded and I can't launch EF anymore.  The download is 110 MB; that doesn't seem normal.  I went through all of the troubleshooting mechanisms i could, and I can't find a working solution.  I've been here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8676-EFLX-7453&l=english&steamid=76561197972623031&errortype=EAppUpdateError&errorvalue=28 and I've done what you suggested DarcReaver.  That doesn't work.  It can't be on the user side.

I have some of my friends complaining about this too.

That's fair, and understandable.  Finishing the mod would look pretty damn good on your resumés though :p.

Undertaking a crowdfunding project is a large effort, no doubt.  I can only imagine what would have to be done.  Ideas could be bounced off the community for the prizes, and maybe even the procedure of it among other things.  I have a few; I'm not sure if they're worth mentioning right now though.  I'm confident that through a little research and time you guys could pull it off.

I like what you guys did with the mod very much, I hope to see more later on :).  I know my support isn't really significant, but I think it's safe to say that it's a common sentiment I share with many other people.

I'm just wondering here...  Have you guys (the developers) ever considered doing this?  I have no idea what your situations are, but it's just a thought to get the project much closer to where you want it to be (basically finishing it, I guess).  I'd pitch in if this came about.  I know you guys said that you wouldn't accept payment for your work and this would go against that principal, but I'm just throwing it out there.  Maybe it could be something that works out for everyone, who knows.

General Discussion / Re: Does anyone play this anymore?
« on: August 19, 2015, 03:49:46 AM »
People do play it.  I have a few contacts that I ask to play with once in a while.  It's extremely rare that I play vs random people on the Beta version (2.3.1), but I get enough games going, relatively speaking.

Bugs & Tech Support / British reward unit, v2.3.1
« on: July 28, 2015, 08:09:21 AM »
I'm just reporting something odd that I've noticed.  I was playing as the Brits with the Comet being chosen to be used instead of the Firefly, but the reward unit doesn't actually get activated it seems.  I was still building FFs anyway.  I'm not sure what kind of proof you guys would be looking for, but I'd be happy to provide some if I can.

I apologize if this has been reported already.  I tried looking through to see if it has, but I haven't found anything.  I hope to hear from you guys soon.

Suggestions / King of the Hill mode on King of the Hill map
« on: July 21, 2015, 07:45:56 PM »
I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not, but I noticed in this instance with this setup that the VP is in the middle of the map.  I was thinking that the VP should be on the actual hill on the Northern part of the map, which would make the hill relevant and give the map a much better "King of the Hill" feel to it.  I know I play that map alot in vCoH and whenever I can in EF.  I think it would be worth it since it's a popular map. 

The problem here (well there's a few...) is that the VPs on the Northern part are closer to one side than the other, which would create an unfair advantage when fighting over a single VP (which is probably why it's in the middle of the map atm).  That is if you simply remove the middle and other VPs.  Is there a way to change the position of the VPs in the North to make it so that one would end up between the original two?  The original 3 VPs would be removed, leaving only the 1 left on the hill in the middle of the hill in the North.

What does the community think?

Hey Devs, would you happen to have any direct input on this issue?  This thread isn't on Steam's forums isn't all that descriptive.  I don't know how deejon figured it out.  I installed the Beta for EF and I'm experiencing the same thing now.  I'm in the process of figuring it out at the moment.

Edit:

As usual, I went and did more googling like I should have before posting and found this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/228200/discussions/0/611698195148334609/?insideModal=1

This worked for me; I found it to be more descriptive of what the solution was.

Bugs & Tech Support / Re: [2.300] Game crashes/freezes - Post here
« on: March 10, 2015, 01:40:08 AM »
I'm just wondering if the developers here are able to take a look at this particular case, or if anyone intends to.  I can only imagine the work you guys would have to do to figure it out...  It's way over my head.  Makes me appreciate what you guys do.  I don't really want to post here though if no one has the time to look at it, seeing as it wouldn't be worth it.  In any case, thanks anyway.

Hi, I just experienced another crash to desktop and I'm gonna try my luck here.

- Map: Road to Montherme

- Factions: Allies where both Russian, Axis were Ostheer and Panzer Elite

- Actions at time of crash: I was micro managing 4 conscript squads, a command squad, and an Observer team, I was about to build an IS2

- Frequency of crashes: about 50% of the games I play

- Game mode: Victory point, 1000 points

The ai.[../../..].txt file seems to be non-existent, I can't find it.

The game crashed for the Allies, the Axis just got a win, so I'll get one of the Axis players to get me a replay if possible and I'll upload it here.

Edit: Got the replay, just to give you all more info

2nd Edit: Do you guys need system specs too?

3rd Edit: I guess I should also say that I'm running the latest version of CoH (2.7.00.2.42) and EF (2.3.0.0)

From what I understand after reading the stickies, the mod only works with the newest version, which is 2.7.0.  There's a compatibility patch for 2.6, not sure how stable it is though.

Thanks for the reply.  I didn't read the sticky, sorry about that.  I'll move this to that thread.  I've played a bit since the last time I posted, so I'll post all that stuff here next time there is a crash so that there's fresh data.

Hi, I'm going to see if I can troubleshoot a problem here, with help from people here, but I need someone to tell me what kind of info is needed to help diagnose it.  I'm running the new Steam version (2.7.0...) and I'm running the newest version of the mod (2.3...) on Windows 8.1 x64.  I'm experiencing a crash to desktop about 50% of the time now, and sometimes everyone else in the game ends up crashing as well.  It asks to send a report to Relic and all that (which I don't send, obviously).  When I first installed it back in December I didn't really experience that many crashes, and now it seems to be getting worse, but nothing has fundamentally changed.

What info exactly do you guys need?  I know you guys need log files of some sort, I'm just not sure which ones exactly.
