Company of Heroes 3 Update 3.0: Check Build and Final Stand Mod Scope First

Troubleshoot by product, mode, then version

A launcher tile, game mode and patch branch are not interchangeable. The developer's 3.0 announcement describes both broad CoH3 changes and new Final Stand content; a separate patch note names the specific mod behavior. Start from the exact executable/mode and symptom so a fix for another mode is not misapplied.

1. In Steam, open the game's Properties and note whether you are on the default or a beta branch; record the version the running game displays.
2. Write down the exact title/menu you launched: the base Company of Heroes 3 campaign/multiplayer or the Final Stand experience.
3. If the problem is a mod affecting Final Stand, compare with the 3.0.0 notes: they state that mods applied in other game modes no longer affect Final Stand. Do not infer that every mod can be enabled there or that the mod itself is compatible.
4. Change one variable at a time: disable the named mod in its own mode, return to the default branch if intentionally testing a beta, then relaunch and record the result.
5. If the issue persists, capture the displayed build, platform, mode, mod list and a reproducible sequence before asking the external community. Avoid deleting configuration or saves unless current official support instructs you.

Prepare a useful player report

A concise report should distinguish verified conditions from a suspected cause. The local worksheet below only formats what you enter; it neither reads the game nor sends a post.

1. Record platform/store, build, mode, branch and whether mods are enabled.
2. Describe one observed symptom and the exact steps that reproduce it.
3. State which single setting you changed and the before/after result.
4. Compare proposed fixes with the current developer notes before trying file changes.

Before you play

• I recorded the platform and displayed build.
• I separated the base game from Final Stand.
• I checked the narrow 3.0 mod note before testing mods.
• I can reproduce the symptom without assuming its cause.
