Do you have CoH on Steam?

Is the OS in your pc x86 or x64?

What is your Company of Heroes path/directory?

Could you post a screenshot of your CoH directory on windows explorer?

Did you just dragged the files there or you actually installed them on that path?

Do you have an original version of CoH?

You should install them in the root of CoH directory, this is "E:\Games\ToV", since you have RelicCoH.exe there.

I wonder what happened to the OP ????

The same applies for you as well.

Did you check the EF directory within the EF launcher settings?

Try to create a shorcut like this:

Code: [Select]
"E:\Games\ToV\RelicCoH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies
And use it to play EF, hope that works.
