Hi, started having issues with celo today and after a reinstall i cant set the game path anymore, it keeps telling me that it is invalid - now thinking that i might just be stupid i asked a friend to try and he ran into the same issue. Everytime the game path is set to the the folder containing the .exe it insists that the folder is invalid, if you set it anyway and try to start gamewatcher it tells you to set the path's again. Documents path is working fine. Any idea what might be causing this ? There havent been any changes to the structure im aware of. /e: found the issue it wants to steam_api.dll that changed to steam_api64.dll

found the issue it wants steam_api.dll that changed to steam_api64.dll

Yes! Did you make a copy and rename it to Steam_Api.dll? Just for CELO?

celo is working just make a copy of steam_api64.dll and rename it to steam_api.dll (this will be used for celo program). That's it

Doesn't seem to work for me.. The path is now valid, but i doesn't show the stats of the players when using CELO...

Yeah I'm having the same, path is now valid it just never populates any players.

I am just guessing but a lot of the data comes from the players STEAM IDs which are NOT in the log file anymore.

There are two sections in the LOG file:
- one that has NAME and RELIC ID
- one that has RANK and STEAM ID.

The RANK and STEAM ID section is no longer posted in the file. So the code may be waiting on that missing section being posted and therefore never doing anything.

So its dead in the water then?

For me the program works, but data from match doesn't load.
However streamers still have workings apps. Such as Duffmann or elpern, not sure which app they use

Hi, first of all thanks for your tool.

I met a small problem when setting it up first time, the 'game path' is always invalid.

I tried to use steam location folder as a path, but it seems not working, ,like following,

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes 2

But my document path is alright.

Has CELO ever worked for you before?
Did you change something (like move coh2 to a different drive)?
Is this the first time you tried to use it?

It is actually the first time.

CELO is looking for 3 files:

Code

case 1:
                        if (dir.Exists)
                        {
                            var files = dir.GetFiles();
                            foreach (var file in files)
                            {
                                if (file.Name.Contains("RelicCoH2.exe"))
                                {
                                    test1 = true;
                                }
                                if (file.Name.Contains("sysconfig.lua"))
                                {
                                    test2 = true;
                                }
                                if (file.Name.Contains("steam_api.dll"))
                                {
                                    test3 = true;
                                }
                            }

The file STEAM_API.DLL no longer exists and is now called STEAM_API64.DLL. You can try making a copy and renaming it to STEAM_API.DLL but this may only get you so far if CELO actually uses this file for any reason.

But remember Relic removed the STEAM_IDs from the WARNINGS.LOG file so CELO may not work properly anyway.

Hope that helps.
