Well for some it works, for some not. But if your game loads with my files, then it should work for you.

So, what happens when you finish the campaign? What's the point of the parts given to you during the last mission? Can you restart with the collected gear? Is the gear used in multiplayer?

Look at the chat. Those are guys i made a party with.

And then look at the player list.

(also the identical color schemes - but that's probably because of me tinkering with the files too much)

As it is, the MP of this game is so buggy that i've given up trying to play ranked games completely. So far 50% of the games i've played have been botched in some way - counting as a loss, disconnect, or an un-earned win.
But eh, you get what you pay for, right?

the all black colors + fog of war gone happens only at the match beginning when some of the players lags heavily. After ~10 sec. the game starts running fine. It's not uncommon thing

As for the names & players list- lol

I have the feeling when i play multiplayer and i reinforce a lot of my troops the population counter gets fucked. Last time my whole army got slain and i only had a dead commander left but my population counter tells me i'm still 26/100 ??
This really fucks up long games cause i cant get a descent army anymore compared to other players.

It would also be nice to see a higher victory point mode so the victory games getting a bit longer. Its almost impossible to get yourself a build out army with upgrades before the game is over.

Anybody cann tell me what the rank is about ?? Mine stays at 1 , is that because of use of a other key ??


Empty again Sad

There is indeed a pop cap bug (that i've heard of)- when playing with the space marines. (Tho the deployable turrets/utilities also take pop, points untill they are destroyed .)

As for the rank- you got points to increase it after each battle with the corresponding race. It unlocks additional insignias/elements on you field troops- only for a show off

Just loaded up, only file changed was in Config/ played an online game with no probs
MasterServers.vdf

Just make sure it says:

"MasterServers"
{
}


And thats it as far as i can tell. version number had no change at all.

Nothing, game ends as such, but you can keep playing Defend/Optional as they still appear on the map, but the main story is over. (Note if you still have 1.0 installed without patching once you complete 'Last Stand' the game will end and you can NOT continue with the save anymore, but updating to 1.1.1/1.1.2 will unlock the save allow you to play on it again even @ lvl20 cap)

Quickest i did the game was on Captain Day 15 of the Campaign, i started again, and just did all the missions but left 'Last Stand' and just kept the save open to try and get all the best war gear, upto day 62 atm.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Update Released
March 10, 2009, 11:15 am - Valve - Product Update

Updates to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

* Addressed a Population Cap issue where during reinforcement, the final unit reinforced charged twice the population cap to the player. *NOTE* รขโ‚ฌโ€œ This is part of 1 of a 2 part fix. There are still a few edge cases where the bug could occur. They are however, rare and require intended exploitation in order to recreate. Our next patch will completely resolve this issue but requires further testing and certification
* Fixed an issue where users with the top end video cards were unable to select Ultra settingg
* Fixed a Fatal Scar error in Mission D (Angel Forge)

Important bug fixes Smile

Haha, another Steam patch to take care of then, bit busy at the moment but it seems it's time to upload those modified files again when I have a bit more time.
(Thankfully someone else already handled the patched data from EtW so that's one less thing to worry about.)

EDIT: Edited post a bit, looks much better and cleaner.

EDIT: Updating, once again a ton of files were changed but not enough to warrant a full patch re-pack, content.bin was also changed but I guess that's because I use the modified version provided from the thread in the PC tech section.

EDIT: Updated NCF file, unsure what was updated though as no localized files were patched.

I'd never tried any Warhammer games before. Thought it was decent enough for a play-through, though what made it interesting was mostly the level-up and equipment stuff. At any rate, it got me to download Dark Crusade, which was excellent.

I though the campaign was really good. But the multiplayer was a bit weak.
