Steam version startup crash

The latest Steam version of this game won't start on some systems, crashing back to the desktop immediately. To solve this, navigate into the application folder:

Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes\

Now, replace the file XThread.dll with an older, un-patched version of this file. You can get this from a fresh CD installation or from several sources on the web.

Second monitor blacking out

When launching the game on a dual screen setup the secondary monitor will often be blacked out. To fix this hit alt+enter twice.
