Recrew crash persist?
« on: September 17, 2014, 06:58:54 PM »
First time poster here. I'm deeply enjoying the Eastern Front mod, but just last night, I ran into the weapon recrew crash bug. This persists with 100% frequency. I got the new FactionFix.dll and that didn't seem to fix it. So, I'm just wondering if this has a fix yet, or are we still in "sit and wait for the devs to write work-around code" mode?

If you have a 100% crash rate when recrewing, it means you installed it wrong. Otherwise we would have thousands of players reporting the same thing.

Try doing a clean install, and remember this only works with the latest version of CoH on Steam which is 2.700.2.42. If you want to use the old 2.602 you will need to install the compatibility patch. If you want to play it in any other version you are out of luck, which means you're on your own.

I reinstalled and recrewing weapons seems to work perfectly now. Thank you very much for replying to me :)

Though, now that I think about it, can certain maps interfere with the fixs the EF mod team has made? I was playing on the Death Camp map when these crashes occured, which is based off Auschwitz (wanted to do a reenactment of the Soviets liberating the camp), and no matter what I tried, the No PopCap condition would not apply there.
