Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition news & patch notes

Hello everyone, As some of you may have noticed, we have updated the names of the two versions of COH1 that coexist on Steam - to both of which you should all have access to:

• the one formerly known as "Company of Heroes" is now "Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition"
• the one formerly known as "Company of Heroes (New Steam Version)" is now simply known as "Company of Heroes"

Going forward, the "Company of Heroes" app is the one you should use if you want to play online and enjoy the Steam Workshop maps. Store pages descriptions were also tweaked accordingly for clarity - but it took us a couple of days. Sorry about that. Try clearing your browser cache if you don't see them now, however. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4661532/84bd5685770f4d654facdbf21ae203f5782849e9.png We did not want to remove the Legacy Edition altogether because:

• some of you guys are still playing it, for various reasons (including old mods)
• COH1 total conversion pages are tied to it in the Steam back-end, and we can't change that
• most of the reviews for COH1 are tied to it in the Steam back-end, and we can't change that / transfer them to the newest app

Obviously, anyone buying the Legacy Edition still automatically gets access to the latest version of the game as well in their library ("Company of Heroes", formerly "New Steam Version")! Sorry for the late post in this Community Hub; the last couple of weeks were a bit busy. See you on the battlefield.

And we want to help that continue! That's why we have just updated the game with Steam Workshop capabilities and an in-game Workshop hub. This means you can now play, share, and manage your subscriptions to custom scenarios without exiting the game, or manually installing files! What's more, the incredible Eastern Front mod for Company of Heroes is now available on Steam. Get ready to wage war with the original Company of Heroes 2 factions, the Soviet Army and the German Ostheer, in the original game! Additionally, for all you collectors out there, you'll be excited to hear that this update also sees the introduction of Steam Trading Cards. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4661532/dd35df93f2ddb4d683c1bd3eecf7b0a60c5ce0be.png Alongside these updates, we're running a massive Steam sale until 10 AM PDT on June 5th!
