CoHupdater problem

I recently downloaded the game so i could trial, i downloaded a 500kb CoHupdater, then waited 3 hours to download the 2.5gig game. So i did it, after which it launched itself and i played for 20 minutes. Needed to reset to make the graphics at max.

So everytime i try to launch not it just downloads the game.. the whole 2.5gb game again, so i went to the program files and launched it, but it asks me to launch it from the CoHupdater.. its so annoying, i can't launch it just download it.

Please help, thanks -Take care

This sounds like a quite common bug where it tries to download the American version of the game.
To fix it, change the updater from "cohupdater.exe" to "cohupdater.EU.exe" - that should make it launch the proper version.

In programfiles? It already says that.

Welcome to cox mate,
seems to me that the problem is that you have the us shortcut, this is a common problem.
All you need to try is right click on your shortcut for the game and look in properties, it needs to be cohupdater.eu.exe, you just need to change it and hopefully that should be you.
hope that helps

damn, she beat me to it!!

yeah, the fact he can log in suggests that it's not that issue, what folder do you direct it to when it asks where the files should be?

He said he could only launch it, not log in...

Hey, OP here, It fixed it on one of my laptops but on the other one i have two files in the folder. CoHupdater and CoHupdater.EU so i pressed both and and the same problem. I also tried moving the CoHupdater.EU and renaming the other one with EU at the end but nothing.. Annoying that my friend cant play

If you have two updater files, delete the cohupdater one, and keep the one with the EU part in it.

sure but what does the short cut say? is it looking at the CoHupdater.EU.exe?

more importantly do you ask it to install in in a folder called coh or the folder just about that? if you are installing it in the folder maked CoH, thats the issue, as it creates a new CoH folder each time.

When you changed the name, did you do it by right clicking, selecting "properties", then changing the file address bar thing?
