Please check that your path in settings is the correct one, CoH with Steam by default is in:

32 Bits OS -> "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes"
64 Bits OS -> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes"

Retail CoH is on:

32 Bits OS ->"C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes"
64 Bits OS ->"C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes"

That's the only reason behind that error, someone has mistaken and instead of say "Wrong path" it says "up to date".

Also make sure you installed it to the correct folder when installing the game.

if someone put ef on my computer,i would then know how to do it,this whole thing looks very backwards to me, but its just the way computers work i guess?i was never in to computers,I'm missing something when I'm installing ef ,what i do not know.too many parts to install,makes too easy to mess up,i have never done this b4 . i looked at the forum but I'm going around and around. can they just put it in to something and then click and play? when i ask people in coh about ef some people say it not working,it looks like u only want people who know about computer to play this mod,it feels like "i play ef because i know more than u about computers"i have this update(ef) on my computer for 4 or 5 weeks I'm still lost, too hard to install.in the computer world i feel like a bum(street person)i feel bad because of this problem!!!maybe a U-TUBE VIDEO could help install  ef!!

a) Could you search on your pc where CoH (path where RelicCoH.exe) is located?
b) Could you compare if your path in EF settings is equals with the one that you found?

If eastern front isn't located on the same path that reliccoh.exe, you did something wrong dude :P...

 When eastern fronts is being installed , it will find the path where ur coh is installed , however if u change the install directory due low disk space or something , then try to reinstall it in the same directory where ur coh is installed


This is because the ef mods(and all the others too) run by passing parameters to the relicoh.exe file , here the work is done by the launcher to help the not so "computer savvy" guys

If u have installed ef in another directory the ull need to construct the shortcut ur self(which im very sure ud not want to ;D)

cheers :)

Edit: yeah I guess you have to start from 1.1. Though again its confusing as the front page says 1.2 full. got it to run. Now waiting for the mp Patch to install.



So do I Download the full 1.2 or 1.10 then click 'look for updates'? Also it is unclear which patch version to have. I only have COH. OF won't install.  I've patched COH to 2.101 This in no way is close 2.601

as per that relic site

Company of Heroes 1.00 - 1.40.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.20 - 1.40.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.30 - 1.40.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.40 - 2.101.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.50 - 1.51.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.51 - 1.60.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.60 - 1.61.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.61 - 1.70.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.70 - 1.71.torrent
Company of Heroes 1.71 - 2.101.torrent

Are we talking TOV? which I don't have. This mod looks great! Want to try it out. Wondering if the Company if heroes beta is conflicting with this?

 I know I installed it in the folder buy it still says up to date

You need to have 2.601 company of heroes patch installed for the mod to work. In the menu awell you can activate products so you can just use the CD key to install OF if your having problems.

Even though the 2.601 patch says its for TOV it works for all the released versions of COH
