Fixed the lan issue
Ok i thought i would reply in here as i have found a fix so far that is allowing at least 4 people to play a lan game of Company Of Heroes Opposing Fronts.
First DL the mini image from game copy world. do not worry about any cracks they are not needed.
Download and install Daemon Tools latest version. don't change any of the emulation settings they r fine. don't forget to mount the image
Next you will have to edit the hosts file on your computer. This is usually stored in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. just edit it with notepad and after you save it make sure it its name is ONLY hosts not hosts.doc or hosts.txt.
Here is something you can cut and paste into a batch file. it will set your hosts file properly.
attrib c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts -r
echo 127.0.0.1 cohlive-1.quazal.net >>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 cohlive.quazal.net >>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
attrib c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts +r
Once you have done that make sure you do not have any folders in your My Documents\My Games\Company Of Heroes folders.
Hope this helps. I don't play the game myself but the wife does so i had to spend 12hrs trying to work it out lol.
Best of luck
P.S. this only works for cohof unpatched.
