Is it just me or is CoH really buggy now?

So I updated it to play online with some friends and thought I'd finally get around to completing the campaign, vanilla CoH not Opposing Fronts which I don't have.

Anyway, I keep loosing control function, view changes by map clicking get lost, units just fail to respond, failure of unit selection and once I even lost the ability to scroll the view by going to the screen edges.

Has anybody else noticed anything similar or do you think I may have a bugged install?

Also, the graphics are a bit sucky now, specifically blurred ground textures all around the centre of the viewing area.

Anyway, here's a screenshot of what I mean, this was a classic case, not only does it show the blurred textures which are visible but also a squad that was refusing all orders, I'd tried to move an intact 6 man squad about three meters to their left, they decided to take the long route through enemy territory, I saw this instantly but the just failed to respond to anything including the retreat command. Gotta give him his due though, he got all the way up past the fuel/oil tank before dying :)

Have found that saving and reloading the game appears to give function back but it's a little annoying.

Edit: Forgot to say, all settings are set to maximum, system is C2D E6000 and 8800GTS 640Mb.
 
Yeah, OF hosed CoH. I hope they get it sorted.

I haven't noticed the blurred textures... maybe this is an AF setting? Try 8X or higher.
 
well yeah they released of waaay before they should have and waay before it was anywhere near complete so the game has had a lot of problems recently... mostly they have been the game being completely unbalanced and relic online being complete **** though... never heard any of the problems u suggest, once i had a squad that wouldn't leave a building but that was only a 1 off
 
i find relic online decent tbh. just dont use the automatch feature. i play with friends regularly and rarely have problems

theres a patch coming out in a day or 2, which will fix a small amount of things and give 2 extra maps. there is already another larger patch in production which is a balance and performance fix patch.
at least unlike other companys they patch their product, so im happy :)
 
I have damm Problems Selecting units in OF.

When i go to select another unit i think ive selected it so i click to move but it hasnt selected and just moves my other unit i had selected before out of cover and into cross fire :mad:

Other then that im liking the brits and how everything is so dug in :D

I cant connect to a game with more than one other person. If I recall correctly they outsourced the multiplayer netcode to another company. Guess we should blame both of them really :(
 
New Patch :)


Hotfix patch 2.103 has been released for Company of Heroes and Opposing Fronts. Clocking in at 11.63 MB, this patch introduces some critical changes and is now available by logging into Relic Online. Below is the patch changelog.
General

- Corrected a validation problem that exists on North American released copies of CoH: Game of the Year.
- Fixed an occasional crash that would happen on quad-core CPU's.

Gameplay

- Fixed a bug in the Infantry Combat System that was causing inconsistent application of priority system.
- Fixed a modifier in the church steeple that was enabling snipers to fire at drastically increased rates.
- Fixed British infantry invincibility when capturing and reinforcing heavy weapons (Machine guns, mortars etc.)
- Axis Knight’s Cross Holders have abilities arranged so that both Assault and Fire Panzerfaust are usable from the command panel.
This patch also includes a few unlisted changes, such as unlocking the bonus maps Linden and Bedum. The Steam patches for both Company of Heroes and Opposing Fronts are now available as well, you can log into Steam to download them.

Unfortunately, this patch is only currently available for French and English users.

Update: Localized versions of the patches for various other languages will be available on Friday, November 2nd.

hehehehe those uber snipers on semois were funny :)

relic online has been ok for me recently.. at least stats wise, updates pretty much instantly which is a first definitely.... just wish they could probably deal with their router issues so people can join more than half the games

that and arranged team automatch, which the community has been waiting on since the original was launched
 
I now find that the British and Panzer elite armies too hard to beat online. They usually rape early on which means it's nigh on impossible to get the stronger units before they have wiped you off the wipe with howitzers or mortar halftracks.

Relic have gone way downhill since the release of coh.

The original release was great up until about 1.7
For me Opposing fronts has finished it off, i cant even finish the benchmark or get any distance at all in new single players campaign. Either way they seem to care less and break more with every patch so agreed !

Just done a format and reinstalled the lot with same issues, although i think the 169.04 drivers arent helping much, same results in SLi or single card :(
