• Company Of Heroes New Steam Version

I tinkered with CoH a bit awhile back, but now I'm looking at doing a fresh install on a new machine. The patches I've been able to locate on the official site are; 1.0 to 1.4 1.4 to 1.5 1.5 to 1.51 1.51 to 1.6 1.6 to 1.61 1.61 to 1.7 1.7 to 1.71 2.102 to 2.103 As a lot of these are slightly huge, are they incremental or can I just get the last one? Also, what's with the jump from 1.71 to 2.102? I assume that's something to do with Opposing Fronts? So if I install vanilla CoH, then Opposing Fronts will I just need to put the 2.103 patch on and call it done? If I remember correctly, the 'GotY' version of vanilla CoH comes pre-patched up to CoH:OF compatibility (uh, 2.101?), requiring only the later patches. Otherwise, you have to install the 1.4, 1.7, and 2.101 + all of the CoH:OF patches.

Actually, it's marginally less painful if you have CoH:OF. Really though, this is because the 1.8 Gb vanilla patch doesn't properly enable the CoH:OF campaigns, so you have to do a full uninstall of vanilla CoH, and then a fresh reinstall of CoH:OF. Then you only need the CoH:OF patches and not that 1.8 Gb monstrosity. You can unlock the vanilla campaign/factions using your CD key.

To clarify, there's a 1.4-1.7 patch, which saves you a little bit of work. If you have the expansion, skip installing vanilla CoH and install CoH:OF directly, since it starts at 2.100 and you don't have to deal with the 1.7-2.101 mega-patch. By the way, the current version is 2.3, and you have to install all of the intervening patches. I recommend doing it manually and not relying on the auto-patcher.

Alan ok so I have the expansion and can just start the install straight from that without installing vanilla CoH first, that's surprising but do-able. Beyond that I think I want patches; 2.201 2.202 and finally 2.3 Whoever came up with the patching scheme for this game needs to be soundly beaten about the head and neck area. EDIT: Ah wait. Opposing Fronts v2.2.0.2 to v2.300 patch Opposing Fronts v2.2.0.1 to v2.2.0.2 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.3 to v2.2.0.1 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.2 patch to v2.1.0.3 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.1 to v2.1.0.2 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.0 to v2.1.0.1 patch So far the only opposing front is in getting the damn game current.

Bumping this to see if anyone knows how to get around a specific patching problem. Just installed Opposing Fronts and have begun the long manual patching process. But I get an error saying that either the patch is corrupt or the WW2art.sga file is the wrong version, which it shouldn't be since the disk is virgin. The auto-patcher doesn't work, of course.

This was a clean install with no remaining CoH folders or files and a clean registry. Anyone else encounter this or just me? (Yeah, I'm looking at the official forums, too, but you guys are faster.) Troy. I don't play multiplayer.

Can I just say 'fuck it' and play the original Company of Heroes game single-player? Or is there some minimal patch level that improves stability / graphics / single-player gameplay that I should patch up to? In a world where Steam and Stardock set the standard for autopatching, this Relic patch horseshit is really inexcusable.

How fucking hard is it to create a diff between any two builds of their game, and create delta patches for each combination, and automatically download and install (and checksum) the right one? Answer: it's not fucking rocket science here, people. If Dawn of War 2 doesn't fix this problem it's going to cripple their community - I wouldn't be surprised if it's already seriously damaged the Company of Heroes online community.

(Not that I would know firsthand.). Troy S Goodfellow: But I get an error saying that either the patch is corrupt or the WW2art.sga file is the wrong version, which it shouldn't be since the disk is virgin. My memory's a little hazy since I haven't played CoH in ages, but I had a similar problem: i.e., getting 'file(s) corrupt' errors while patching. IIRC, it was due to some sort of incompatibility with my SATA RAID drivers (Intel P965 MB). Unfortunately, I think my 'solution' was just to keep trying to patch until it finally worked.

For the record, the game isn't installed on my machine right now, because I ran out of hard drive space while trying to apply the latest patch, which messed everything up. Yup, that's right, you have to have 10 Gb of extra space just to patch, because the game makes copies of files while it's patching. If there was a cumulative patch, this wouldn't be so bad. I might reinstall if there's enough interest in some Qt3 co-op or skirmish games. Otherwise, I'm not excited about the prospect of reinstalling a bunch of incremental patches. Besides, I've decided that whis would be a good opportunity to clear some games out of my backlog. Among the people I know, Relic Online is universally loathed.

The online verification is one problem. The game browser/connectivity is another problem. Games themselves also tend to be laggy, although much of this has to do with the high client-side graphics requirements, since all players essentially have to stay in sync with the slowest machine. Troy: Opposing Fronts starts you off at 2.100, so you only need patches that have higher numbers.

I haven't checked on the latest patch yet, but all of the other patches are available for manual installation. Repo: You should at least patch up to 1.7. The 2.101 mega-patch adds some nice features, like compatibility with the expansion and showing you how much damage AT guns have sustained (not just the crew health). However, it also adds the annoying online/disc-verification.

Of course, since you don't ever plan to play online, you could just apply a no-CD patch. Troy S Goodfellow: Bumping this to see if anyone knows how to get around a specific patching problem. Just installed Opposing Fronts and have begun the long manual patching process.

Troy Last time I ran into a problem with the CoH patcher it was because I didn't have at least 10 gigs free on the drive. I know they claim less, but it took at least that to patch. I don't know if that's the problem here, but I haven't had a problem with the patcher since I switched to a bigger drive for it.

Oh, and Relic really sucks at patching.just thought I'd say that again.:p.

Opposing Fronts adds two new single-player campaigns, a British campaign, and a German campaign. The two campaigns feature a total of 17 missions with the British campaign covering Liberation of Caen by British and Canadian forces and the German campaign covering the German defense and push back during Operation Market Garden. The expansion pack also adds two new factions the British 2nd Army and German Panzer Elite each of which have three distinct doctrines or areas of expertise. Another new feature introduced in Opposing Fronts is a system for dynamic and real-time weather effects during game play. It also is fully compatible in multiplayer play with players of both Company of Heroes and Company of Heroes: Opposing fronts.

New multiplayer game modes include Assault which a battle arena type mode similar to Dota, Stonewall where up to four players must defend a small town against wave after wave of enemies and Panzerkrieg which is another battle arena type mode with tanks.

The game's resource gathering element has been revised a little, now every territory produces some fuel and munitions with a select few producing more fuel or more munitions. The game did receive some backlash from Russian critics and gamers upon release for what they claim to be the brutal portrayal of the Red Army and historical inaccuracies.
