Okay, so when I go into an EiR game this weird thing happens. The game is frozen for all the other players, and on my screen I see this :
Heh, you can even see little unrigged germans in that bunker.
As soon as I leave, the game starts up for everyone else... (this screenshot was a 1v1 we were testing, but the same thing happened in a 2v2 and 3v3 I think) I've tried reinstalling EiR with no success... I just dl'd it a day or two ago and haven't been able to play a game yet. Even after about an hour of a very nice fellow (centurionA41) trying to help out, we were guessing there was something wrong with the install...
Oh, I'm running vista and CoH is a retail copy, not steam. I did dl that ms visual C++ that you guys linked to.
