So I bought COH Gold on steam, which comes with COH and COH: Of. When I click on COH to play, everything is fine and I can play the game. But when I click on COH: Of, it starts up COH (not opposing fronts) and I can play it just fine.

When I delete either of the games, both are gone off my steam games installed list. When I try to install just one of them, both are installed at the same pace and same percentages.

It seems like steam thinks they are both the same game.

Anyone have any advice?

u will probaly find that the game is infact, the OF edition of the game, as this comes with the orriginal already installed and just needs to be activated by the code (without Steam).

so basicly it is just one gaming file (install), but with 2 games installed overall.

so dont worry, u will find that this is normal.

Basically, OF is a seperate game with two new campaigns. However, it uses the CD key from the first CoH to allow the first campaign to be playable. For retail, CoH vanilla un-installs after installing OF for this same reason.

Steam could be piggybacking some files to save space, which is why they are installed/uninstalled together. I don't know for certain though.
