To make matters worse, some users are reporting that Steam has ignored the “Do Not Update” notice and proceeded to download the enormous file without some users’ knowledge. If you do not have them connected to the same online account however, you may have to end up downloading over 13GB in patches. In other words, if you’re downloading the update for the Tales of Valor expansion, the update should be cancelled for both Company of Heroes and the Opposing Fronts expansion once it’s finished.

This completely trounces Relic’s previous enormous 2.101 update which was almost 1.8GB in size.įor the owners of all three pieces of Company of Heroes software on Steam, be sure to only let one game do the downloading as the patch should apply to all three. The size of the patch for the stand alone expansions, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor are over 4.4GB. However, Relic’s most recent update for their hit RTS title, Company of Heroes, is quite frankly, absurd. Patches are nothing new for today’s gaming community as developers now frequently release updates to improve game performance, add new features, or fix a game-breaking bug that should have been caught before launch. Click continue, and it should verify and take you to the menu (if not, you may need to have some form of media in your CD drive just to make it think the CoH disc is actually inserted).Fans of the World War II based RTS are in for a bandwidth hurdle.

The only other thing you need to do in order to get the game working is to go into your hosts file (located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc - enable hidden files and open it with notepad)and add the following lines: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 This will block CoH from connecting to it's servers and won't force you to make an account and log-in, but instead check to see whether you have the disc inserted. After applying all the patches, copy the 'rs' folder and 'RelicCOH.exe' to C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes and over-write. I've just included all updates for Company of Heroes and it's expansion, Opposing Fronts, up to the latest version at the moment (v2.201) with a working crack.
