    Yeah, just not working. No clue what I might be doing wrong, followed the instructions and still zip.

    Edit: Finally got it working and my issues were completely user error. If you're having issues, make sure you're dragging and dropping everything from the zip into the game folder itself (the root folder for DoW2 Retribution where the EXE is), leave the RealismMod folder ALONE and do not try to put it in any other folder; just the root.

    If you're having issues with the shortcut, just right click the file location on the top of your windows explorer and hit 'copy address', go into the shortcut properties and replace everything inside Target " " with that address and the 'Start In' tab should have the same address WITHOUT \DOW2.exe at the end (so just the root game folder address).

      Nice! Glad to hear. I keep wondering how it doesn't work for some people, as I tested it myself before uploading the most recent version.

      Apologies if I do not update or maintain it. This is meant for preserving the mod.

      Hey how have you got it working? I am getting the same crash as folks below following the readme instructions, hopefully it isn't an OS thing. 

      I see this in the error report: 

      13:21:09.62    FILESYSTEM -- filepath failure, missing alias 'data:config\onlineconfig\badwords.lua'

      Madness. The badwords.lua file is included in the base game. The mod wouldn't change anything to exclude or modify it.

      Zzzz...

    I don't think this mod longer works as every time I use the shortcut or launch options it goes to immediate Relic splash screen

      I have not changed anything since the last update. If you read in the comments below, some people are able to get it to work without issues.

      That said, I should one day return and doublecheck, perhaps rewrite the instructions.

    hey so, i tried installing it and I had to change the shortcuts pathing to the game folder, which is fine, but whenever i open it i immediately get a relic crash splashscreen. i followed the install instructions on the .txt in the zip folder, so im not sure whats happening.

      Hi there. Drat, its been so long since I touched this. Check and see if the modules are loading the required .sga files. Could be just one missed out that causes the crash. I recall not having any issues on my side, but its been too long. I should check it out one day, but this isn't my mod per say. I just uploaded here to preserve it. Apologies though. I can't promise when I'll get back to you. You can find me at the DOW2 modding discord. I'll be there.

    Should genestealers be locked at the start and without a pic?

      Hi there. I think its a bug. Again, I'm not inclined to fix them. Someone can download and mod it for themselves. They have my permission.

    Will there be an update that fixes the issue vonkillburn pointed out in the bugs? It's happening for the Imperial Guard's Guardsman Squad, and I'm not that great at modding, so I don't know how to implement the fix myself. This is in campaign, by the way.

      Hi there, I just saw your post.

      To be very honest, I uploaded this mod to preserve it, that's my primary intent.
      For actual bug-fixing and to update it, that is something that I am personally not interested to do.

      All the same, I'm happy to give this mod over to anyone who is interested to fix bugs and update it etc.

    And how does this mod make the campaign better? Or to pick up the meaningless name of the mod: "more realistic"?

      Hi there! I'm actually not the original modder, just someone preserving it. 

      I guess its more of a title gimmick, rather than actual realism, though it is a fun campaign mod!

    Is this usable with a different localisation's game ? Cause I can't find a way to make this works.

    I use correctly the shortcut (i've just added the command in my shortcut location target)

    i have copied the files to my "locale" localization folder, even tried copy/paste and renamed it to english, but it just crash at startup...
    Any instructions to try plz?

    I use to recently played and modded DOW2 gold edition without problems btw

    followed instructions but the shortcut claims the game does not exist. Am I missing something?

      Hi there. 

      I've tested from my end, so the mod works as it should.

      I suspect it has to do with the shortcut. 

      The shortcut in the zip file is targeting the default Steam folder location. 
      eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dawn of War II - Retribution

      Would your Steam folder be located in a non-default location? Its a custom location?
      If so, you will need to change your shortcut's location to your current Steam folder location.

    I have quite a few versions on my desktop, actually.

    v1.21
    v1.23
    v1.3 ( though I guess v1.31 makes that moot)

    Because I wasn't really a fan of the new retinue system added in v1.3 (I was on the Relic Vault forum).

    I don't have v1.24 tho
