Patches?

[ihavenoname]

Ok, I did the automatic patch downloader thing and I'm only on patch 1.4. Can somebody give me the links to the patches I need after 1.4 so I can get updated completely to play online.

[Kradath]

The question is, if you had already opposing fronts or only vanilla?

[ihavenoname]

I only have vanilla but I'm gonna go buy Opposing fronts soon.

[Kradath]

Ah good site for patches is http://patches-scrolls.de/

It's English, just search for company of heroes.

[ihavenoname]

ok thanks, I'm downloading the 1.4 to 1.6 patch right now, then gonna download 1.6 to whatever.

this site really helps! I'm already on 1.7, I'm dreading downloading those huge patches.

[is_don_is_good]

lol, are you up to the GB patch yet? :p

[ihavenoname]

yeah I'm downloading it now, I'm just gonna let it run overnight while I'm asleep.

this is a PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have all the patches up to 2101 or whichever one it is, then I did the auto update and downloaded the next patch, and then something happened, and then I got an error message saying that the installation was unsuccessful, now I have to REINSTALL THE GAME.

This will be the 3rd time in less than 2 weeks that I have to reinstall the game.

[Fusion]

ive downloaded a 100mb patch through the game, but it doesnt automatically install the patch!

anyone else have this problem?

[Vikaman]

The autopatcher is horrible, it almost never automatically installs the patch, leading to crashes or waste of time.

[Idaeus]

lols yes I had to reinstall a lot when I was trying to patch my CoH up, However I found a 1.4 to 2.101 patch. However this is on a Swedish site but just press the big red button with a arrow pointing downwards on it. http://www.fz.se/filer/?id=4697 ;)

[ihavenoname]

I fixed the problem, I just reinstalled (again, 5th time in 2 days to be exact)

and then I just downloaded the 2.300 patch from a different site, and now it works just fine, I even played multiplayer, I won a game because my opponents left, and then I lost the other 3 or 4 I played because my teammates dropped so I did too.

But I actually LOST one game when the enemy overwhelmed my base with tanks and rangers.

[Idaeus]

Good for you its up and running mate! :) Will we get some screenies of your action soon? :D

[Vikaman]

Lol, infantry company spam!

[is_don_is_good]

ahh good old infantry company. haven't played US for a while :p

[Vikaman]

Howitzers are the sex!

[ihavenoname]

i cant seem to win a single game, me and my teammate have the enemy stuck on their side of the river and then all of a sudden 10 panthers come across and blow us all to pieces.

[Kradath]

Maybe you should play against an easier AI at first.

[Vikaman]

Lol, panther spam.

Build Fireflies or M10's. And then micro manage like shiznitz.

[Idaeus]

Then don't stay on your side of the river... ;) Go across right at the beginning and stop using the bottleneck.

[ihavenoname]

my teammate finally got a croc so we could get past their dragon's teeth and then we took all but 1 or 2 points on their side but it just wasnt good enough.

[Idaeus]

It wasn't good enough according to your standards or it wasn't good enough because in the end you lost the game? :)

[ihavenoname]

It wasn't good enough according to your standards or it wasn't good enough because in the end you lost the game? :)

the latter

[is_don_is_good]

don't keep the enemy waiting. as you'd like to build up your forces while you have the enemy blocked in, he is most likely be doing the same thing

[ihavenoname]

yeah, i played a match yesterday and it lasted for 3 hours, and everybody just ended up dropping because our team's defense was too much for them, but we had nothing to go attack them with.

[is_don_is_good]

holy crap, lol XD

so they got replaced by idiotic AIs? that is when you trample over them and take your prize :D

also, this is why most people don't play the annihilate mode.

[Vikaman]

Remember, in COH; always keep pressure on your enemy, turtling is not the way to win. It almost never does, unless you lead them to a trap, and then rush. One of my favourite methods of playing, is to drag the enemy into my hulled down tank squad, and then rush out.

[ihavenoname]

I meant everybody on my team.

yeah i play annihilate mode alot, and what is funny is that I've only won while playing VP, so I'm gonna start playing VP instead.

Well I cant even seem to build tanks of my own until a long while into the game because I'm always stuck on the side of the map with 1 fuel point and if i finally take one on the other side of the map, the enemy will obliderate all the defenses and take it back within minutes.

[Vikaman]

What company do you usually play as?

Sounds like more of a style of play issue than a skill issue.

[ihavenoname]

well I finally won a game, it was 4 v 4. I did most of the work lol, I'm the one who led the attack on their base, I played as the Germans and i used the defense one, with the off map artilleries.

I have a replay if anyone wants to watch but I'm not sure how to find it.

Well it depends, I play whatever I feel like playing as I guess lol. I like to play as Armor on the U.S., sometimes Airborne and Infantry, but on bigger maps, Armor.

I played on the Hochwald Gap ( I think that's the name) Well here's what i did, I let my teammates take the fuel/munition points, and I immediately upgraded to assault phase, built some basic soldiers, and then build a Stug, 2 anti tanks, a nebelwerfer, sniper, and MG. I sent the infantry up the main road, with my allies. I capped a few points and then I upgraded to battle phase ( i think that's what it's called), and started building ostwinds and panzers. And I had 1 panther. By then I had enough XP to use the flak guns, I built a couple of them around the base, and then fought some more, capping points still, then I made an armored vehicle with the rocket artillery on it, I used it along with nebelwerfers on our enemie's front lines until I got the off map rocket barrage. I built my forces till I got to the population limit, then I sent my forces to their side, and my teammates followed, we crushed everything in our path.
I was continuosly bombarding them with rocket artilery. ( I probably spent close to 3000 munitions on rocket artillery that game). We were destroying their calliopes so fast they couldnt even use them, but their pershings did give us problems, in fact, one of the enemy's manpower was so high that each time we destroyed a pershing, it immediately got replaced. And then soon after that, the host said "GG", by then I figured that we won the game, and we did. And I'm still only a Level 1 after all of that.

[Vikaman]

OH man, you should have bought COH when it was released, 200Ammo for calliope, but no cool down. Was awesome. Made it even more awesome by making it free, with a 45 second cool down. Now I believe its longer.

[Idaeus]

I cant remember where to find you replays now.. Anyone?

Ebevan91 do you use Xfire? You are very welcome to Join the TotalCoH Clan (http://www.xfire.com/clans/tcoh/) if you do. :) We don't really compete or anything, its just so that you can play together with other forum members, the idea is that you should always be able to play with someone you "know" from the forum. This summer it will probably much more active and perhaps have games nights etc.. ;)

I actually just patched the game to 2.300 and I played the campaign on the unpatched version. I hated the 200 munition cost.

[is_don_is_good]

yes, i loved the free calliope rockets :D

[Vikaman]

200 munitions was very very very cheap on large maps. And considering it's no-cool down, it was god mode on. Along with a main cannon, co-axial machine gun and a static machine gun, the rank up was too easy.
yes, i loved the free calliope rockets :D

It still is free.

[Idaeus]

Yes thats what I thought! :D They are still free are they not?

It is understandable that you cant use the main gun anymore but a bit unrealistic? :rolleyes:

[Vikaman]

I say 100 munitions with 20 second cool down. With only machine guns on the tank's body.

That is.. fair. And somewhat realistic.

[Idaeus]

Yes... After all it is a GAME not a SIMULATOR. ;)

[Vikaman]

Even so, the main aim of COH was to provide a realistic approach to WWII through a RTS. Balance is a key issue, but mega-nerfing a Calliope is annoying.

[Idaeus]

Yes exactly! :) It's powerful enough now as it is...

[Vikaman]

I don't believe so. It used to be able to defend itself. Now it can do .... nothing.

[Idaeus]

Yes I know what you mean. It should be able to defend itself... Quite a hard unit really.

[is_don_is_good]

It still is free.

this proves that i barely play the old faction nowadays :p

[ihavenoname]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought Opposing fronts and now I have to patch the game over again, can somebody tell me what patches I need to install?

[Kradath]

I would just do it over the game updater, to do it manually is terrible, because of the miserable patch politics by relic.

[Idaeus]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought Opposing fronts and now I have to patch the game over again, can somebody tell me what patches I need to install?

Patch manually, patch by patch up to patch 140. Then find the 140 to 2101 patch (this will save you a lot of downloading time). Then keep patching, pactch by patch, up to patch 2202. Then you can download the 2202 to 2300 patch here (http://files.totalgamingnetwork.com/file/5095/Company+of+Heroes+v2.202+to+v2.300+Patch+English/).
