Does anyone know whether the files from the http://cohpatch.relic.com/relic/coh/retail/EN_2600_2601_Patch.exe.torrent work?

yeah a nonsense bullshit patch,for part of the game no-one really bothers about.
Posted by: PsihopatzoF Oct 27 2009, 16:12 PM
Installing that patch from torrent... gonna update when its done... keeping my fingers crossed:P
Posted by: Lt. R4GE Oct 27 2009, 16:13 PM
I knew it, relic doesn't give a crap about anything anymore.
Posted by: Eupolemos Oct 27 2009, 16:13 PM
uh if this is actually a patch does any1 know what its about?
fixing some new-gamemode problem. just plain downtime for most GR users. with our usual luck, they'll fuck a few things up they didn't think about.
*fingers crossed*

Flamebird that torrent u gave works like a charm 
Installed and ready to go... i even connected to RO without a prob...

Posted by: SodR Oct 27 2009, 16:30 PM
All replays are gone 
Posted by: Allysin Oct 27 2009, 16:30 PM
Thanks for doing this SodR. I am installing the new patch right now.
I can't wait to see all the new balance changes and tweaks! - OH that's right, there isn't any. Maybe we will have to wait another year when the playerbase gets even smaller.
Posted by: xTitan Oct 27 2009, 16:40 PM
Works now!
Posted by: Enkidu Oct 27 2009, 16:43 PM
Just when i thought relic cant fail much more this comes...
I think the most hillarious thing about this is that it's a "hotfix" months after the last real patch and that it "fixes" what is probably the lamest, least interesting part of all of CoH (Panzerkrieg.. well all the new game modes really). I honestly probably wouldn't be so pissed off or even care except for the fact that I'm a steam user....
Have any Steam users out there seen any indication yet of the game patching to 2.601? The steam forums themselves are essentially barren and I myself have yet to see any sign of the update. Anyone out there with any info at all?
Merged
Posted by: Tom21a Oct 27 2009, 17:33 PM
we loose replays for this? What other good strategy games are on the market? I don't really like C&C for multiplayer.

Yep, goodbye old replays, hello 3.5 gb download...
RELIC, YOUR TESTS OF OUR FAITH GO TOO FAR
Posted by: Rayza Oct 27 2009, 17:58 PM
Yeah steam users wont get to play today...
Posted by: Enkidu Oct 27 2009, 18:02 PM
I wonder if Relic even notified Valve that there was a patch coming... it seriously wouldn't suprise me if they just forgot lol.
Posted by: SodR Oct 27 2009, 18:08 PM
"Hotfix".
Made me lol.
Posted by: Kolaris Oct 27 2009, 18:36 PM
Wow, I can't even use Mods that go around Steam, or play offline for that matter.
"Your game version is not up to date, but a patch is not available for download. Please contact Customer Support"
Yeah, like that would help.

And thats all ...
Posted by: Wallaberto Oct 27 2009, 18:47 PM
I got the same corrupt file error "code 10104".
This is what I found on THQ tecnhical support concerning code 10104. If you have any mods installed the file will be corrupt. As I have the GR-skinpack installed ... well, you know the rest. Will have to reinstall.
"I get error code 10104.
From Relic Mod Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
This happens when patching encounters an unexpected installed data. In other words, you likely have mods installed. Simplest workaround: Reinstall CoH, patch again. If you see this error after reinstalling once or twice, take your DVD back to the store or point-of-purchase as it is probably bad. Other solutions you can try are: updating your DVD drive firmware or copy the files off the DVD from another computer and then install from your hard disk. "

And I think I'll not play for a couple days.

Well at least it's updating I suppose... Mine has yet to do a thing. Is it downloading the whole game again?
Edit: Bahaha omfg lol! It is... mine just started to DL and it's downloading the whole game again for a 26mb patch. This is... simply amazing. I mean, I knew this was coming from the last patches... but for a 26mb patch? It's like a slap in the face.

Luckily I backed up my orginal files
(in my case: "WW2Art.sga" located in "C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\WW2\Archives").
Replaced it with the modfile, patched again. Result: it worked !!! Hallelujah !!!
I'll try to re-replace the modfile after patching, see if i can get the greatest skinpack ever back to work.

That makes it just about worth it if it heralds the return of the BotB mod.

Panzerkreig!?! relic finally releases a patch and it is to fix panzerkreig? Are they trying to piss everybody off. FFS fix the real problems not the ones that nobody cares about.
Posted by: Fritz Frisbee Oct 27 2009, 19:50 PM
would someone pls take the time to explain, why steam is patching CoH by downloading the whole CoH-history back from the original game (as stated above 26 mb).
i mean, i got DawnofWar and you gotta have steam to play it. however, if DawnofWar is patched, steam does not download the complete gamehistory.
so why is that different to CoH? i don´t get it...

THEY NERFED THE T-17!!!!
"The T17 armored car's damage output has been reduced.
- Penetration of the T17 armored car has been reduced."
WHY? the t-17 is already WORTHLESS, a fucking machinegun on wheels. First they nerf the schreck so much it can not hit a THING, because it is owning the cars, then they nerf the cars because the schreck is a POS.
Posted by: Marcus2389 Oct 27 2009, 20:22 PM
26MB is too much...pls if some1 have codex or some other stuff analyze the patch, i think that relic put some hidden changes or some hidden stuff...26MB for those 2fixes?! don't let me cry!

Posted by: xImpactx Oct 27 2009, 20:23 PM
Well I'm not going to whine about the fact that Relic is supplying a free patch to a part of the game I don't own (I don't have ToV) and that I got steam so I have to wait "approx' 3 hours 55 mins" so I can play a totally unchanged game but without my replays or that it doesn't fix the pak38 & the 'Roo...
But can someone tell me what the "Relic Downloader / Manager" is for please?
I thought it was so that future patches would be quicker through a p2p system but seeing as I can't even load the game until Steam has downloaded 468GB (it feels like) then what is it for ???
I actually think that Relic made the best RTS ever and I think the support & the patches have been great. Of course there have been & still are balance issues but the game is so complicated I understand how long it must take. Think about it, if they tweak something small like, for example, the mg target switching problem we had b4, it sounds simple but when you think about how many other factors are dependent on just that adjustment then it's understandable that patches can take a long time & can create new problems.
So, posts like "Relic epic fail" are unjustified & don't help anyone or anything. Also, the patches are free.
All this said, I just don't understand why the patch can't be only for ToV owners.
Could it be that it's Steam that is causing all the problems?
Should I buy Retail in future? Every other game I have on Steam is fine. Why only CoH has to download a ton of GB everytime?
Posted by: Poly- Oct 27 2009, 20:25 PM
do you use steam?
Yes

How to fix error 10104? And no, i didn't apply any mods at all, someone please help ?
Posted by: X1Alpha2 Oct 27 2009, 20:33 PM
Why didnt they fix the roos i mean cmon they dont need to balance it it's a "alternative" unit they just could have nerf it to oblivion and balance it in the next patch but right now it is defenitfly broken.
Posted by: crazychris Oct 27 2009, 20:36 PM
lol they made a patch that we dont even need (they will prob fuck something up) and they made it so you cant play or download it assuming that doesnt count as the fuckup im waiting on what else they screwed up
Posted by: Rayza Oct 27 2009, 20:40 PM
Yes
You have to patch trougrh steam, not manually
Posted by: Marcus2389 Oct 27 2009, 20:59 PM
i say again, some1 have tools to verify if there are hidden changes in the patch? 26MB are too much for those 2fixes, they must have changed/inserted something!!!
Posted by: Laufer Oct 27 2009, 21:00 PM
Ok wtf is going on here?? I tried everything and nothing works, I keep getting the message the files are corrupt. Is anyone even playing the game now?? By the sounds of it everyone has the same problem........
Posted by: TrouserDemon Oct 27 2009, 21:07 PM
No, it's just a tiny minority with the problem, several thousand ingame right now.
Posted by: Laufer Oct 27 2009, 21:11 PM
What should I try now then? Reinstall the frickin game again??
Posted by: EzilyPwned Oct 27 2009, 21:17 PM
Does the patch mess up bridger's gridkeys?
Posted by: Shagulon Oct 27 2009, 21:58 PM
why does my game seem to be downloading GBs? An hour and a half to patch???
Something's fcked.
Posted by: TrouserDemon Oct 27 2009, 22:05 PM
Steam redownloads the whole game every time there is a patch because it is poorly integrated into Steam.

im on Steam and cant play until it downloads.what a fucking joke for this crap.
Posted by: RayLiota Oct 27 2009, 22:18 PM
I down loaded the patch file, and ran it no problems. Does'nt seem to be any changes in game that I noticed in my couple games. Cheers.

To All members, I don't know what is going on, whether its trolling or bug but after the patch....THE american AI is UBERLY NOOOOB. You be the judge~ Sigh, But this level 16 guy, Hungryfordogs, hates me due to that I beat him 4 games in a row as PE and dropped his american rank to level 14. Just check it out. Is there a ban on purposely trolling?

Posted by: Kolaris Oct 27 2009, 22:47 PM
Infuriating. Since I have quite a few mods installed, I thought I'd get ahead of the game and uninstall, then have CoH re-install with the patch.
NO says the man at valve
NO says the man at relic
I end up installing the full game once, and now its updating with the patch, for a grand spanking download size of SEVEN GIGABYTES, and then I'll have to re-download 2 gbs of mods separately. Single most ridiculous excuse for wasting thousands of terabytes of bandwidth I have ever seen. Panzerkrieg 'hot'fix. Unbelievable.
Posted by: Otherside Oct 27 2009, 22:49 PM

not always it didnt for me for last patch, but it did this patch doesnt make much sense seeing how this patch was smaller.
every person moaning about the hotfix changes are idiots they posted what was going to be in the patch ages ago this was never meant to be a balance patch stop complaining about it.

i say again, some1 have tools to verify if there are hidden changes in the patch? 26MB are too much for those 2fixes, they must have changed/inserted something!!!
Well, I have an automated cofiguration set-up and already did that on the AttribArchive.sga file, which is the one that actually matters the most, since it contains all the unit stats, costs, weapon damage, ability modifiers, etc. The only thing that changed is the time-stamps...
Posted by: SodR Oct 27 2009, 23:05 PM
The 2.601 patch is pretty much a 25mb file that will remove all your replays.
Posted by: Sunken_Field Oct 27 2009, 23:30 PM
Yay I lose all my replays and get to download 7Gigs of CoH again! And the still OP 'Roo and UP PE come free with the pack!

Steam is amazing for all my other games. But combine my favorite developer, favorite 'publisher', and toss in Relic's amazingly inconsistent patching and you get one hell of a headache.

Hey guys can someone please help me. I could not install the new patch...tried everything...so I decided to reinstall the game but i keep getting this stupid runtime error. I tried about 10 times installing it and always the same thing (at different stages of download though). The furthest i got was 84%

What kind of error do you get? During the patch installation? Using steam or retail?
We need more info.
Posted by: Laufer Oct 28 2009, 02:20 AM
I get the error during the game installation, not the patch. It's a visual c++ runtime error or sth like that.......
Posted by: Enkidu Oct 28 2009, 02:49 AM
There is a fix for that some where on the coh section of the Steam forums.
Edit:
Hmm, actually, this:

There are tons of hidden changes in this patch. And believe me, its very very good for us.
But yes, there are few who wont like this because some special program(s) not working with it

I have a problem! I installed some skin pack some time ago and now the patch won't install! It gives an error on patching a file called "art2.sga" or similar.
What can I do? How do I uninstall a skin patch?
Posted by: GonzoBot Oct 28 2009, 07:23 AM
This patch nerfed Replays, Badwidth, Users Online,Steam and trust into relics sanity.
-Kangaroos built time reduced to 20 second, now comes with integrated flamer, mineplow and 4 free Piat squads.
-Pak38 cannot be decloaked anymore by enemy units (like the hellcat) but moves faster and has stacked damage bonus again.
-Medic Bunkers now give 2 full veted Gren Squads for every Volx body
-Calliope cooldown to 15 sec, has functional maingun (same as Pershing), detecs mines
-All PE units nerfed due to their OPness with exeption of the Vampyr, removed Jagdtiger, Hetzer and Shreks for gren. All PE inf now wearing diapers and go "WAAAH" if they get shot at.
-Bergetiger no longer revives Tank Wrecks but act as mobile Party Bunker (Clown upgradable as well as Nannies for the "WAAAH" PE inf.

SO nice...Im back from hard night from job...Starting COH and i see a new patch! YAY! But after download i get "A complete, valid Company of Heroes installation could not be located. Please reinstall Company of Heroes and try again. (Error code 10242)" i havent any mods, why that happened? And this patch do nothing! And now i must reinstall whole game and install all patches for this shit? Im really disappointed, and here is not fun play coh...stupid patches coming..many bugs still here, no balance. Im sick from all of this, now i going to have fun with instaling game and patching, really...i was "dreaming" about that in job all night.pfff.
Im so angry....
Posted by: MajorasLiepa Oct 28 2009, 08:20 AM
Ok, i reinstalled game, patched ALL patches, but now i get this nonsense
"This patch updates Company of heroes version 2.600.0, but you appear to have version 2.0.0.0 installed. To download the latest patch, run Company of heroes and log in to Relic Online (Error code 10244)"
Dont know what to do else... I think be with out playing this game anymore until next patch, because cant just start to play. Biggest fail ever.

Posted by: L'amer Oct 28 2009, 08:55 AM
There are tons of hidden changes in this patch. And believe me, its very very good for us.
But yes, there are few who wont like this because some special program(s) not working with it
I figured this might be the case, as well; Otherwise, why didn't they just wait for the "big" patch that's supposed to come, like they did with 2.4; Something important was in there, cleverly disguised as a mere "Panzerkrieg Fix";
By the way, has anyone cared to check on the game files with a modding tool of some sort to see if some balance changes might have happened to sneak in? (good or bad ones)
Posted by: Rayza Oct 28 2009, 09:00 AM
This patch nerfed Replays, Badwidth, Users Online,Steam and trust into relics sanity.
-Kangaroos built time reduced to 20 second, now comes with integrated flamer, mineplow and 4 free Piat squads.
-Pak38 cannot be decloaked anymore by enemy units (like the hellcat) but moves faster and has stacked damage bonus again.
-Medic Bunkers now give 2 full veted Gren Squads for every Volx body
-Calliope cooldown to 15 sec, has functional maingun (same as Pershing), detecs mines
-All PE units nerfed due to their OPness with exeption of the Vampyr, removed Jagdtiger, Hetzer and Shreks for gren. All PE inf now wearing diapers and go "WAAAH" if they get shot at.
-Bergetiger no longer revives Tank Wrecks but act as mobile Party Bunker (Clown upgradable as well as Nannies for the "WAAAH" PE inf.
-Hummel can only shoot smoke
-All people who have bought CoH via Steam will have to buy the game again... original comment from Relic HQ:"All ur base are belong to us biatches!"

But you have to admit that the new flying Geschütwagens with the Stuka upgrade are kinda cool... and I also love the new Darth Vader Helmets for the KCH!
The changes to the things the units say are really a good bonus!
"Klaus... use ze Force, ja!"
"Den Kübelwagen absprengen!!!"
"For ze Fuhrer and mommas Spam-Sandwich!"
"Oh no zei have a BFG on their Engeniers!"
"Mayor König reporting in... time to pwn some Thommies!"
"Sry, Princess is in nuther Castle!"
"I heard the sarge is into Yaoi Manga...."
"I can has Bren plz.... okithxlol!"

Mine installed perfectly...I'll go try a game now and see what happens.

I'd love it if there were a bunch of hidden fixes like the pak, hellcats, roos and strafe.

With this patch out of the way, we can finally get to work on the real issues with CoH.
hehe, cool reply. nice one
Posted by: Eupolemos Oct 28 2009, 12:57 PM
Infuriating. Since I have quite a few mods installed, I thought I'd get ahead of the game and uninstall, then have CoH re-install with the patch.
NO says the man at valve
NO says the man at relic
I end up installing the full game once, and now its updating with the patch, for a grand spanking download size of SEVEN GIGABYTES, and then I'll have to re-download 2 gbs of mods separately. Single most ridiculous excuse for wasting
Fixed
Way too much bitching going on in here - except from steam-users; that just sucks
Posted by: Cheesenium Oct 28 2009, 13:11 PM
Great.Im redownloading the whole bloody game again.
I should have just delete this from my com and use retail again.
Posted by: microorganism Oct 28 2009, 13:22 PM
im not using steam so the download went fine for me
but whats the point hotfix ing a no-one-want-to-play mod and something nobody cares?
when it tell me to update the game i was hoping at least something worth discussing
cheers Relic

Good to hear. It's nice Relic doesn't give up and still doing some really important changes, hope to see some "pro players" not so pro any more.
The steam issiue, on the other hand, seems really embarassing
Posted by: lbg Oct 28 2009, 14:48 PM
Yeah Steam and CoH don't play well together. My friend owns the original retail and got OF as a Steam gift. He says it's less painful to reinstall all the way from the original (has patches saved to DVD) than use Steam. The Steam version often prompts him for cd-checks, and can't get mods to work. No issues if he installs from the original DVD and patches up.

So, as far as anyone knows, there weren't any special "easter egg" fixes that popped up with the new patch?
If so, at least Relic didn't screw up the game any worse.
The least they could have done was make Paks reveal after the first shot...

I'm passed angry. This is just funny stuff now.
Finally finished downloading last night, even played some games on 2.601 before going to bed.
I wake up this morning, start up Steam, and its downloading the 7gb AGAIN.
YOU ARE UPDATED YOU SILLY GAME

Great patch relic! Me (the panzerkrieg community) have been waiting on this for ages. I dont mind downloading the same game i have for 3 days when its sucha great patch, love you!

Posted by: mariens Oct 28 2009, 22:51 PM
thats just great, none of the mods are working now... thing is that i had to reinstall the game couse patch wont install, now i will need to reinstal it couse the of mods... i wish they would just leave the game alone it would be way stresfull, and make mirror maches please so we all could strafe each other to oblivion

Once again! Great job relic I am truly impressed this time!!!! Hope the next hotfix will be just as smooth!!

Hey, can anyone familiar with corsix or other mod tools say about hidden changes?
Relic often makes them, so are they with us?
Posted by: GonzoBot Oct 28 2009, 23:34 PM
I just dont understand why we cant decide on our own in what patch we want to play online. I mean... ok ranking system ONLY for latest patch etc. but why are we forced to patch anyway.... many pple dont play ranked... so at last they could decide in what patch they wanna play.... like CoD4 .... even ranked for all patches....

I wonder if relic put in more information to be saved in the replays to prevent hacking in the patch. Or some other antihack measurments.

The Relic Balance team is working flat out on CoHO atm, Thunder said on the CoH community website that this patch was being made because they had a short time were they didn't have to work on the CoHO project.
Relic still care about patching CoH, they are just really shit at doing it. Well at least from what we have seen, in the last.....what?........4 or so patches, and thats in a row.
Posted by: AUSOwnage Oct 29 2009, 07:46 AM
yeah a nonsense bullshit patch,for part of the game no-one really bothers about.
Just when i thought relic cant fail much more this comes...
Thanks for doing this SodR. I am installing the new patch right now.
I can't wait to see all the new balance changes and tweaks! - OH that's right, there isn't any. Maybe we will have to wait another year when the playerbase gets even smaller.
Wow what a joke.
lol they made a patch that we dont even need (they will prob fuck something up) and they made it so you cant play or download it
assuming that doesnt count as the fuckup im waiting on what else they screwed upim on Steam and cant play until it downloads the full 3.5 gig, what a fucking joke for this crap.
I was going to give a rant about how much I loathe Relic, but why bother? It's all been said by countless others.
So I'll just say:
Another job well done!
Cheers Relic.

Oh, except I live in Australia where our bandwidth usage is metered. I won't be able to install for 3 weeks.

Out of all the countries I've been (quite a few) Aus is the only place I've been too that charges $40US for 12 gig on ADSL1.

Oh no! I used to spend all night laying mines under respawning tanks....
Posted by: CNB Oct 29 2009, 14:10 PM
Does anyone know approximately how much drive space is required for the patch? Through incredible efforts I have managed to get 5.5 GB free, but I don't think I can go any higher. History tells me that a CoH patch that dies due to low drive space makes for a lovely reinstall all the way from 1.00...
Edit: To answer my own question, it takes roughly 5.53 GB. The patcher touched almost everything, including every single .sga file. It's no wonder that Steam users had to download the entire shit again. My CoH folder is 6.66 GB (lol) in size, and 5.53 GB was changed by the patch.
Posted by: Wallaberto Oct 29 2009, 17:51 PM
I have a problem! I installed some skin pack some time ago and now the patch won't install! It gives an error on patching a file called "art2.sga" or similar.
What can I do? How do I uninstall a skin patch?
Might I refer to my previous post?
I hope you have your original "ww2art.sga " file backed-up ... you then simply replace it with the "modded ww2art.sga" file, patch it and swap these 2 files again after that.
Worked for me
Will work for you IF you have back-up ... otherwise it'll be reinstalling for you
Posted by: SgtBulldog Oct 30 2009, 09:51 AM
Online updating seems broken. Or server is down....?
This whole thing kind of sucks.
Posted by: furychameleon Oct 30 2009, 13:49 PM

Posted by: nomex Oct 30 2009, 14:30 PM
relic did it because the eastern front modding team had problems getting the eastern front into COH.
thx to the modders and to relic for their support we will play the eastern front soon!
stop complaining or play C&C

Relic Online is messed up for me. It says that I have to insert the CD and the 'light' in the upper-right corner is red (although sometimes it switches to yellow). I got it to work this afternoon, but the light kept changing from green to yellow. I still couldn't play, the lag was too bad for automatch to function properly.

- Fixed a couple of issues to make COH easier to mod
