I don't think you can even complete the game without a 0day patch and a hotfix.


Could I atleast play LAN games / HImachi with my friends?


You can perfectly complete it, it's the 0day patch that introduced the clusterfuck.

Well, don't know what you mean by "same map," because every mission I've played has had a different layout. If you mean the same "look" because it is using the same assets, then sure, but that is understandable, given they take place on nearby locations. Smile


when im saying same map, i mean same freaking map, not same layout. Heck, you can do 5 missions in a ROW on the same fucking map.

No, most chances are he'll get the Angel Gate bug and not be able to complete the campaign. It has been fixed by the patch. Smile

The problem with playing the same map isn't really that bad. Every now and then you get different spawns on the same maps.

its quite easy to figure out tho. Check next time you play a map. You own already both strategic buildings (foundry/transmitter/shrine) ? yes ? ok, so you have been on that map at least twice already

Is there any way to get the Pre-order wargear other than buying the game?

Copying some files from someone who has the wargear unlocked?

The easiest way is to mod one of the missions, and tell it to give you the pre-order gear as a reward. You can also edit some .dll files and such, but I haven't tried that way.

Head over here for instructions on both: http://forums.relicnews.com/forumdisplay.php?f=257

How do I find the address of a function in a DLL file? This dude:
http://corsix.org/content/dawn-war-ii-unlockable-content

Explains it well, but how do I find the function in wintrust.dll?

This worked pretty well for the army painter (Colors and chapters.)
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=216066

However that tutorial by Corsix seems to be mainly for advanced users though it would give the benefit of allowing full editing and online play together with the extra DLC map and wargear. (And unfortunately cheats such as the map-hack he demonstrates, it's a pretty critical flaw affecting all of Windows LIVE.)

I think I managed to find the address of the function in the DLL (I modified it, and the game ran). Now I'm trying to modify the content.bin. Very Happy

And why are there only 5 maps the choose from?

You most likely have a latency of over 30 to the person you're trying to play with.

Anyone else tried this with Windows XP 64 and got it working? I keep getting the report error thingie at startup with Vitality's release.. And I've read that many other XP 64 users have same issues as me. I got the game running once, unpatched, but all the texts were messed up so couldn't really play..

XP64 is really a bad Windows with a lot of problems in drivers and compatibility. Why not go Vista64?

No, Vitality only has crack for original retail version right? you would need crack for actual 1.1.1.1 version of the game. Dunno search around maybe there is crack out but I doubt it.

I bought retail and continued the file I started in the first release. Now I can't progress in SP any more as it errors out on one map. Be careful with the patch.

i ran into 1 "fatal scar error" on some (optional) mission. I simply ignored the mission and went to another sector, did some missions there. Now the (again, optional) mission is replaced with a campaign mission. So if you have that issue,too, just do what i did.

On another note, anyone else loves Cyrus as much as i do ? he kills like 1/2 the Enemy forces using stealth and remote detonators/satchel charges ^^ Its really imba tho, he stays undetected even when planting a bomb next to a whole group of enemies ^^.

yeah very useful vs tyranids ^^ shot the leaders and they start destroying among themselves (or some explode-like and kill most around them )

anyway, he is my number 1 guy Oh and i now equipped the heavy squad with a plasma cannon ... takes some time to charge but damn , its huge aoe effect is amazing.


oh and btw to my earlier statement about the maps, i think it was (maybe ?) caused by using 1.0.0 (i patched now) and everything seems more random now (sure some maps till repeat, but im dropped on diffeent locations etc) also i get a LOT more drops (items and stuff).

so i wonder, im on day 36 now lol how long did campaign take if played purely in 1.1.0 ? ^^
