--- Comment #40 from John P Sims jsims2359@gmail.com 2009-09-21 15:39:45 --- I'm running the steam version of COH with a git compile. I haven't tested an online skirmish yet, but the issues with the relic online connection, the profile usage, and game startup appear to be resolved. I can fire it up and jump right into the single player campaign. This was impossible before without disabling my ethernet connection (i.e. forcing offline mode). I don't think this differs from the reatil version. IIRC, the big difference between the Steam and retail are the methods by which the media is verified (copy protection) when running the game offline. Other than that, they should, for the most part, be identical.
