Launcher Crash

[Kronik x klutch]

So i just installed the latest patch.(1.30) Everytime its at the launcher, it tries to update but then says that the launcher has stopped working then i have to close it. I have it unblocked through firewall, and tried to use as administrator, but nothing works. I looked at the fixes but nothing helps.
Any help?? I am a computer noob when it comes to files and all that so if i dont understand, bear with me

Did you install .NET Framework 3.5??

[Kronik x klutch]

Im not sure. How do you check?

[Blackbishop]

Check if it's installed on "Control Panel->Programs and Features".

[Kronik x klutch]

Yes i do. Its called "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1" if thats the one ur talking about.

[Blackbishop]

Do you have .NET Framework 2.0??

[Kronik x klutch]

No, i cant find it. Where can i install it?

[Blackbishop]

What type of OS your pc has?

.NET Framework 2.0 for 32 bits OS.

.NET Framework 2.0 for 64 bits OS.

[Kronik x klutch]

Apperantly, it was already installed. Should've looked harder Still doesnt work though. What now?

[Blackbishop]

... don't know what could be happening, could you post the log of the launcher? (located at Company of heroes directory\EF_Launcher_Log.txt)

I think you can try a couple of things:

• Make a new shorcut for Eastern Front like this: "C:\Games\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCoH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies
• Check in Company of Heroes directory\EF_Launcher_Config.ini and change the line Auto_Update=True to Auto_Update=False. Try to run the launcher again.

If you cannot download the updates using the launcher, you can get install them manually from here:

[Blackbishop]

... i guess you replaced "C:\Games\THQ\Company of Heroes\" with your own CoH directory...

Did you really changed Auto_Update=True to Auto_Update=False?

Reading the launcher log, you should be able to run it after changing that line.

[Kronik x klutch]

Yea i just changed it to false. Still dont work...
Post Merge: February 21, 2011, 03:44:16 AMNow whenever i try to change it to false it says, "Cannot create the C:/Program Files (x86)/THQ/Company of Heroes/EF_launcher_Config.ini file Make sure the path and filename are correct." I cllick okay then i have to change the file name but each time i change it, it says that the filename exists then it says the "cannot create" stuff again.

[Blackbishop]

Do you open the file with admin rights?

If that's your company of heroes directory, you can create a shorcut to run EF:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCoH.exe" -dev -mod Eastern_Front -nomovies

And it should run, unless you don't have CoH installed, but i don't think that's the case.

Can u give an explanation of what to do? How do i create that shortcut?
