I tinkered with CoH a bit awhile back, but now I'm looking at doing a fresh install on a new machine. The patches I've been able to locate on the official site are; 1.0 to 1.4 1.4 to 1.5 1.5 to 1.51 1.51 to 1.6 1.6 to 1.61 1.61 to 1.7 1.7 to 1.71 2.102 to 2.103 As a lot of these are slightly huge, are they incremental or can I just get the last one?

Also, what's with the jump from 1.71 to 2.102? Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett Rar on this page. I assume that's something to do with Opposing Fronts?

So if I install vanilla CoH, then Opposing Fronts will I just need to put the 2.103 patch on and call it done? If I remember correctly, the 'GotY' version of vanilla CoH comes pre-patched up to CoH:OF compatibility (uh, 2.101?), requiring only the later patches. Otherwise, you have to install the 1.4, 1.7, and 2.101 + all of the CoH:OF patches. Actually, it's marginally less painful if you have CoH:OF.

Really though, this is because the 1.8 Gb vanilla patch doesn't properly enable the CoH:OF campaigns, so you have to do a full uninstall of vanilla CoH, and then a fresh reinstall of CoH:OF. Then you only need the CoH:OF patches and not that 1.8 Gb monstrosity. You can unlock the vanilla campaign/factions using your CD key. To clarify, there's a 1.4-1.7 patch, which saves you a little bit of work. If you have the expansion, skip installing vanilla CoH and install CoH:OF directly, since it starts at 2.100 and you don't have to deal with the 1.7-2.101 mega-patch. By the way, the current version is 2.3, and you have to install all of the intervening patches.

I recommend doing it manually and not relying on the auto-patcher. Alan Au: By the way, the current version is 2.3, and you have to install all of the intervening patches. I recommend doing it manually and not relying on the auto-patcher. - Alan ok so I have the expansion and can just start the install straight from that without installing vanilla CoH first, that's surprising but do-able. Beyond that I think I want patches; 2.201 2.202 and finally 2.3 Whoever came up with the patching scheme for this game needs to be soundly beaten about the head and neck area.

EDIT: Ah wait. Opposing Fronts v2.2. 3m Printscape Software Cd. 0.2 to v2.300 patch Opposing Fronts v2.2.0.1 to v2.2.0.2 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.3 to v2.2.0.1 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.2 patch to v2.1.0.3 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.1 to v2.1.0.2 patch Opposing Fronts v2.1.0.0 to v2.1.0.1 patch So far the only opposing front is in getting the damn game current. Bumping this to see if anyone knows how to get around a specific patching problem. Just installed Opposing Fronts and have begun the long manual patching process. But I get an error saying that either the patch is corrupt or the WW2art.sga file is the wrong version, which it shouldn't be since the disk is virgin. The auto-patcher doesn't work, of course.

This was a clean install with no remaining CoH folders or files and a clean registry. Anyone else encounter this or just me? (Yeah, I'm looking at the official forums, too, but you guys are faster.) Troy. I don't play multiplayer.
