@Rizz:  Sorry, I completely missed your question.  Yes, both he and I have a CoH/WW2/Data directory.   Thats where all my sgb custom maps go.  The only thing IN the Data directory is scenarios/mp.  Why do you ask?  They're only custome maps, I can't imagine thats causing a conflict?  Should we try backing it up and deleting it?

Yet another strange development.

My friend and I uninstalled EF and deleted all the EF folders.  We then redownloaded the 1.20 full install, and installed it to our games.  I booted up, installed no updates, and hosted a game.  He launched EF, installed no updates, and then CoH asked him to indicate where he purchased CoH?  Like it was a first time launch of something?  We indicated Steam, but it didn't like that, and it didn't like Retail Store either.  We booted up his VCoH, and now it asks him the same thing when booting that version as well, and it won't let him play CoH at all!

I have that problem every time I install CoH it seems.  It always wants me to insert my CoH CD, when I obviously don't have one.  Why is it so retarded like that?

Ok, we'll uninstall and reinstall one more time, and test each patch to see if its the patching process that causes the error.

I am fairly sure I know where all the EF files are located, but are there any hidden things I should know about? I know about the three Easter Front Folders in the Main Company of Heroes directory.

We will be trying this tomorrow.  I'll post results then.

Thanks so much for all your help, this mod is the best modification I've ever played for any videogame, it's great to receive such support for it.  This is better than Relic!

Yep, we downloaded the full 1.20 and the launcher updated our games one update at a time, 1.20->1.21->1.22->1.23->1.23.1->1.23.2, just like you said.

Yes, all EF files were definitely removed before we reinstalled.

No, neither my friend nor I have installed any skin packs or mods other than EF itself.  I have plenty of custom maps installed, but only to the mp directory, nothing out of the ordinary.

So strange :(

Well my friend and I still can't play online together, though we have improvement!  He and I both uninstalled EF and then reinstalled the 1.20 full installer.  We then both updated through the launcher to 1.2.3.1.  Now, when we try to play together, It says "Incompatible game version."  I know they aren't different, so what do you guys think?

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for replying so quickly!  This really is one of the best communities around.

Anyways,

@Rizz: Yes, my friend and I played vanilla online with eachother last night and it worked great. I have COH, OF, and ToV, he has only COH and OF.

@mr_pricky: My friend and I are both playing non-steam versions installed to the default directory.  I installed all the mods for both of us, I'm quite sure they were installed properly.

@blackbishop: Both my friend and I followed your link and installed the newest patch, and then we both checked for updates, and it told us that both of us were up to date.  I am on COH 2.601?  (the newest one.  I think thats the number) and EF 1.2.3.2 (I assume, since Both he and I followed your link and installed that patch.  Is there a way to check the version number in the launched?

Lastly, I just want to note that when I loaded Vanilla and went to multiplayer, all of the games were free for me to join.  When I load up EF, however, 100% of the games are greyed out and says, as it did before, "incompatible mod version. Them: reliccoh, you: reliccoh.

Since vanilla works just fine for me playing him and playing others online, I assume my issue is somehow involved with EF?

Thanks again.

Love the eastern front, but I usually only play skirmishes against the AI.  Today I got a friend to download EF, and when we went to play online together, we couldn't because it said our versions were incapabtible?  Moreover, about 95% of the online games are "incorrect version" for me.  Any idea why this is?  We are both patched to the newest COH, and both have run the EF Check For Updates to insure that we have the newest version of that?  Any help would be appreciated.

I noticed that this issue has been posted here before, but it seems the poster always finds a solution and it was a botched install somehow.  I hope that happens for me, but I am almost positive that he and I have done everything exactly as needed.

For a little added detail: under "Game Info" it says "Incompatible mod version.  Them: reliccoh You: reliccoh."
