Company of Heroes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Company of Heroes Game of the Year is a great game.However, I didn't realize that the first game would be trying to get it to recognize the DVD.After installation I kept getting a disk validation error.If I happened to be online when I started the game, it would try to log on and update and said I needed a 115MB patch.This is not the correct patch!I contacted THQ and got back an Email about turning off anti-virus software and any virtual drives.My anti-virus was off and I don't use virtual drives, so that didn't help, however they were nice and trying to be helpful.Finally, after endless searching and investigating, I found out how to solve the issue on my own.If you happen to end up with the same issue, I think I can save you a lot of grief with the following:
Locate and install the patch en_2101_2102_patch.exe manually (This must be done first.If you just try to install the second patch it will give you an unrecognized version error and exit.)
Locate and install the second patch EN_2102_2103_patch.exe manually.
After this I was finally able to get the game to recognize the disk and run.After that it was smooth sailing.Good luck.
