Someone mentioned earlier that there's a mod that raises the squad level limit so we can max out the teams. Can anyone link that? I can't find it.

So is there a way to play campaign co-op via hamachi or without a key yet?
I can LAN with a friend if that is needed.

Is the campaign playable singleplayer with the 1.0 vitality release? Heard about some nasty bugs, but were those caused by players updating the game thereby corrupting their saves 1.0 saves?

No, bugs are there because 1.0 has problems. Btu it is better to start a campaign (new save) after updating. |

Yeah, but I was hoping it would be ok with vitality release... guess I'll have to install steam.

You can play patched without Steam. Read my guide (method #2).

Make sure u install the extra/premium game content (items for squads) mentioned in the guide by iNatan in this thread. Helps a lot in the beginning of the game.
By the way towards the end of the game the Terminator armor for Avitus gives him a default damage in the 600 range. Freaking shreds stuff left and right. Definitely build up his skills to get to this armor.
Found using Cyrus, Dreadnought, Force Commander, and Avitus makes a lethal combo. Agree with everyone else that Cyrus is a bad mofo when upgraded. The stealth setting of remote bombs is by far the best tool to trash large groups of enemies. |
found some blue terminator cannon thingy, now his ranged damage is around 1500 
And yeah cyrus really shines once properly upgraded (maxed will so he can use accessory stealthed and uses almost no energy + at least upgraded stamina so he can instant revive squadleaders ) , Avitus obviously is a wrecking machine, force commander is teh melee guy, and well, 4th spot is kind of a wildcard. Dreadnought could be good i guess, but i just cant find proper equipment for him (the mofo keeps dying ... ) and tac marines have the same issue, just cant find stuff for them to make them competitive. And as far as thaddeus goes, i haven't used him once (besides the first mission where you have to lol).

Put -disable32bitcheck in your command line. If that doesn't work, no idea, maybe your computer doesn't actually support them. |
I made a shortcut of loader.exe and added -disable32bitcheck , still same shit , my video card is 9600 gt 512 mb , i dont think that its so slow , and i was playing the BETA on steam with all on ultra so ... |
i have the same card and it let me put high/ultra without problem (w/o anything added to command line), so it must be something else.

God they made the MP so horribly unbalanced it's not even funny. And the only map worth shit is Argus Desert Gate.
Oh and just played a game where none of my units could retreat and just crashed from it. Glad I didn't buy it..

No, I started my campaign in 1.0 and continued in 1.1.1 (and eventually in 1.1.2), and had no problems. But some experienced some issues.

Is there any point to play anything other than Tyranids in MP? One early carnifex = game over.

Argus is the worst 3v3 map by far, ask anyone who's played more than 10 games on the official forums. Balance seems fine if you don't pick 3 of the same race and do something stupid like playing the game like a regular RTS and retreating at 5% health.

Early carnifex? If they have a fex you should have....
2 plasmas
or
2 lootas
or
2 brightlance
Those are all t2 counters for the carnis. Don't bring the suck.
If your opponent gets early t3 you aren't capping nodes, there's no early t3...

Capital Spire is far worse than Argus Desert Gate. Any of the 3 you said does not kill a Carnifex charging and meleeing them to bits in 4 secs.
It just feels like it was more balanced in the beta, sadly. Guess I gotta play more and maybe my teammates were really shitty or I met more experienced players in my first couple of games(woo go gamefinder if so).
Won 5 in a row as tyranids and I mean big wins and now all of a sudden in a game my warrior broods etc. start going down 10 times faster than against others of same race. Normal ranged weapons hardly did shit in those games and in my 6th my squads went down in 2-3 sec against normal ranged units, not even suppression squads. Oh well just seemed a bit weird that all of a sudden it was pointless to do anything.

It also allows loading of external packages (like mods).

Hm, don't think so. I was refering to increasing the level cap (from 20 to 30) so we can max out the stats.

Warrior brood/glands and gaunts is a nasty combo, I'll admit. The tough part about nids is that you can't use LOL SUPPRESSION against them. I don't relally have any trouble with carnifex's as the apparently underpowered orks but I use tankbustas against them.
And yes, I forgot about Crapital Spire. The other 2 maps though (the ones that take place on Typhon) are fine.

Yeah it was Orks I was playing when I felt it was unbalanced, seems some people think they're underpowered, Tank Bustas do kill Carnifex quickly though. Capital spire is so weird, I've played it like 6 times, 3 times my team started on the east side and won all 3, 3 times on west and lost all 3.
Typhon Arena and the swamp map are the most fun IMO.
