  1. I figured it out, guys. I have to run steam as an administrator. I'm not sure why, but I can launch the game without admin privileges now (even this used to be a problem for steam), but I can't get past the server selection screen without steam running with admin privileges. Any insight as to how I can get this game to launch with steam just running normal would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
  2. Hey all, so I decided to dust off this game and give it another try recently. But, after the game installed and updated to the most recent version I am unable to play because I cannot get past the server selection screen. The servers are not named their typical names, but instead have file locations on my computer. Where a server name should be, it reads something along the lines of: coh"C:Users\...\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\.... When I select one of these, it gives me the error: Wrong game version, run patcher and reconnect, server XXX client could not find registry key. Any advice for me? I already tried uninstalling/reinstalling/validating the game to no avail.

    Here is the CoH helper info:

  3. I am having this problem too, even after a clean install of the game. I don't mean to resurrect a buried thread, but was a solution ever found?
  4. i have a question: i'm an ice/energy that mainly targets bosses/lt's -- so pretty much just upper level single targets. if I have about 9-10 enhancement slots left for my app's (I was planning on going with force mastery) how should i slot them?
    also, if i had 12 what would you guys say?
