Installing on Steam

[ColdBloodRogue]

I can't seem to find an answer to this, I only have opposing fronts installed right now on steam is that all I need to be able to install the mod or do I need the regular CoH installed also?

U need to install the new steam edition from steam if u are using the new installer under one of your steam tabs is add a product key click on that n put in your cd key

The US Army and PLA Ground Force overwrite the vCoH British and PE factions, so they require OF.
The US Marines (and in the future the PLA Marines) overwrite the vCoH US and Wehrmacht factions, so they require the original CoH.

As IGILAA said, try to update to the new Steam re-release version (2.700). That's the version of CoH our recent patches are geared towards.

I got the mod to work thanks guys, now the only issue I am having is when me and my friend try to play we get connection to host timed out. I've tried so many different suggestions like port forwarding, disabling rewards, deleting playercfg.lua file in the relaunch folder. Nothing seems to work, you guys ever have this issue? If so what fixed it for you?

Does it happen with vCoH?

[ColdBloodRogue]

Ya it does, I can connect to random games in vcoh but we can't join each others games. From what I can gather online it seems to be a regular problem with a bunch of different solutions but none seem to work for us.

[I_am_a_Spoon]

I don't know to be honest, if it happens with vCoH then I'm not sure we can do much to help.

Maybe one of the other devs will have a solution.

Have you tried a fake-LAN solution by using Hamachi? That seems like the only full proof workaround for connection issues or NAT errors.
