Thx mate
Hello ,
i got a pink HQ command truck driver at first,i thought this might just be a small error, then i got pink infantry units, 5 of them (one of them was lucky).
i followed all the instructions, and had no problems like this with the older version. what should i do ?
? Thats not normal indeed, your installation is badly made, do u have bk plus the latest patch? Did you read how to install v2? If you have any doubt, uninstall bk and historical addon, and re-install all, it take 5mn total, read the summary for it, you surelly have corrupted files here...
reinstalled everything , still having little pink British comrades,
i suppose i'll have to download it again.Thank you for everything
You have the coh "opposing front" extension right?
Greatest Job My Friend!!!! Thanx...
tank's for best mod
This mod is good !! but how Select the USMC .... ? i don't finder marine COrps ...
the USMC/IMPERIAL JAPANESE ARMY is work in progress, its not released yet, read the summary for more information.
got problems some of icons missing like ammo on map cant see how many people i produce and so on
Because you didn't read the arcived section "tip & fix" its coming from your graphic settings.
i did all man blitzkrieg mod work perfect is there anything else i must do i put on high and tex on max but stil got pictures missin.. mybe need something more
You also need a 1080p resolution screen.
I did a complete clean install (COH -> BK -> Afrika Addon) and while the game seems to run just fine without problems, the launcher keeps telling me "Warning! There are unknown directories in your Blitzkrieg / Afrika folder. These might make your game incompatible with other players. Consider running a cleanup." Any idea why it tells me this even if I did a complete clean install?
its normal, its because you have the bk mod "beta", when the beta will be final, this will disapear.
4.9.5 is classified as a beta?
no 4.9.6 "beta" is the beta, you don't have it? anyway it will disapear with the next bk patch.
No I dont. I run BK 4.9.5 since 4.9.6 is... well, a beta, and I rather wait for them to finish it before playing it.
no worries about the warning then.
Thanks for your quick replies. Looking forward to your new updates with this addon. :)
Final Historical add-on update V2.3.1 now available for download (Moddb+Mediafire) Enjoy!
JFF1.
Hello there
Will this do?
"Company of Heroes - Complete Edition" cuz
"To prevent any COH errors you must get the ORIGINAL STEAM GAME OF COMPANY OF HEROES OPPOSING FRONT! "
Yes, it will do as "opposing front" is obviously included in the complete edition.
i see nobody online
Awesome :D
So now that BK is on steam, should we wait for a new update or does this one work with it? Just making sure before I get it again. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hoping you had a great christmas. :)
This one is working perfectly, i will update the addon into v2.4.1. very soon with the new changes (see changelogs) when i’ll have the time, merry x-mas and happy new year! ;)
uh helo i hav a balancing issue for the afrika add-on , when playing as the afrika corp my ai allies dont build any late game units/buildings in which i hav 2 "carry" my ai teammates in late game scenarios if i even last that long..
Did you built your General Rommel? if the a.i. don't build more expensive units it means they don't have enough resources.
how to install on steam please help i tryed to look it up on youtube ty
Do you have Company of heroes Steam version? Do you have Blitzkrieg mod into your Company of heroes Steam version? Read the summary for more infos, all what you need are explained.
You don't need to install the historical add-on on steam, but you need the Steam Company of heroes (NOT the LEGACY version) and install the Steam Blitzkried mod, then install Historical add-on in Blitzkrieg mod from here.
Just wanted to say how amazing this is. I only play Blitzkrieg and having this makes it even better. I had originally hoped that the Blitzkrieg devs would change the German iron crosses to the swastikas and the panzer elite to the SS for some things but that never happened. I am always for more realism especially when the Blitzkrieg mod is built around more realistic game-play.
Can't believe I never found this before, very great work! Hope to see it continued update for times to come!
Im glad you like my work, guys don’t forget to give a vote for the add-on ;) enjoy!
doesn't work it just closes the game after start immediately
It means your game has a problem.
Great Job. Thanks.
My Suggestions :
-Why they are no TANK TRAPS/ROADBLOCKS?
I already answer to your question in the general posts section. (Oct 15)
Uuuuhhhhhhh what? It literally won't work for installing like everyone else.
? What do u mean? Thousand of gamers are playing the mod!
for some reason the infantry section (riflemen) for the 8th are pink
It means bad install, corrupted files or your detailed models graphics aren’t at 100%.
Check tips & fix fore more.
