Version differences

The New Steam Version (included alongside the original THQ release) has all the multiplayer components modified to use Steamworks, as the original multiplayer servers are no longer available. As an added bonus, both standalone expansions (Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor) will count as DLC and do not require any extra downloads.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/4560/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (4560) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
