-------
Hi everyone,

With the release of today’s 2.201 patch, please note that due to an error in the 2.103 patch you will need to either manually apply the 2.201 patch or re-install the game. The instructions below only apply if your game is currently patched to 2.103:

a) Manual application of the 2.103 - 2.201 patch.

1. Load Company of Heroes and download the 2.201 patch.
2. Once the patch transfer is complete, exit the game.
3. Browse to the following folder to find the patch file:

XP Users: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\Patch

Vista Users: C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\Patch
4. Double click the on the ##_2103_2201_Patch.exe file. (## designates a language prefix)
5. Apply the patch.
6. Launch Company of Heroes.

b) Re-installing the game.

1. Uninstall Company of Heroes via Control Panel or Start Menu (THQ -> Company of Heroes -> Uninstall).
2. Do not check the box that opts to remove your saved games. This will ensure that previously downloaded patches are not removed.
3. Install Company of Heroes.
4. Load Company of Heroes and download the patch to 2.201. Users who have installed the original Company of Heroes will need to apply the megapatch, then patch to 2.201.
5. Apply the patch
6. Launch Company of Heroes.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this issue may have created and we appreciate your patience.
