COH 2 WON'T LAUNCH, did anyone found a fix ?

[Whistler01]

I came back to the game after a few months break re downloaded it and now it will not launch at all. I did a search on the internet for the fix but found nothing. When I start the game it shows that it is running for 2 or 3 second after that it just shuts it self off, it does not show in the task bar and it does not show any errors so i cant even look up the error. I'm using a laptop gtx 1050 (4 gb) , proc I5 7300 HQ ( 2.5 GHz ) , 8 Gb ddr4 (2400 MHz => not sure about MHz), SSD 128 GB and HDD 1 TB.

SAME HERE!!!. it pops to the COH2 screen then turns off on me. WTF

[Whistler01]

Dont know, i can't find any fixes on the internet that works, the one i think that might work is to do a fresh windows on the pc that might help. But i don't want to download it again because of my ♥♥♥♥ download speed =(

i had the same problem. it happened when i upgraded to windows 10. the way i fixed it was to go from the start menu: settings/update and security/windows security/virus and threat protection from that menu there is something called "real time protection" or similiar. you need to disable that. then relaunch steam. then relaunch coh2. it worked for me. i hope it does for you. after it worked i was able to turn it back on after the game was launched and it has worked for me after that.

Non of the suggestions work for me, any other ideas? My game gets stuck at the Company of Heroes logo, I can hear sound of Sega in the background but it never completely loads. I have tried compatibility mode, disabled antivirus, and Windows Defender is disabled. I have also checked the integrity of the files in steam.

Try to increase your virtual memory. I did it on my laptop and a lot of the games work better, COH 2 included i had loads of problems with it before but once i increased my virtual memory every thing works better.

My Specs:

Windows 10 Pro
i7-8700k
32GB Ram
4TB HDD
GTX 1080

I just bought the game so it has never run on my system.

I found a solution that worked for me. I added the following to the launch options.

-refresh 120

I have a 240hz monitor and I guess it was too much for this game. If it doesn't work with 120, try 60. I hope this helps others.

[Whistler01]

Dunno, well good luck in the future.

[Johnman]

I'll give this a try I had same issue

Thank you very much sir! This works for 240 hz monitors!

Thanks a bunch.
My game wouldn't launch until I disabled Windows's 10 realtime virus protection.
Cheers.
