Problem #1 : Dawn of War 2 Error “xlive.dll not found error”
Solution A. (As posted by Maniac) :
1) Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Uninstall the “Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE Redistributable” if it is installed
2) Download and install the 2.0 LIVE Redistributable from “http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4a7f4478-7a4e-4f89-a88c-319972839793&DisplayLang=en”

Thank You.
Every time I try to do the Close the gate at angel forge mission, after i take 3 generators, the game crashes and tells me i dont have enough space in my temp folder -_-…..
I have 220 gigs free so…..
I want to beat this mission, help me T-T
#1 : RyanSpike,
i haven’t gone that far in the game yet 
#2 : RyanForsy, you getting this error “Please verify that there is enough space in your TEMP folder.”?
Right click “My Computer” > click “advanced” > click “advanced” > click “environment variables”
then go to the path specified under “TEMP” and “TMP” and delete everythng there.
by chance are you both the same Ryans?
I get up to day 16, ready to attack the wraithlord on Merdian, but after the little cinematic the game crashes, i hear shirt, but no screen. Also, it randomly crashes at points.
Hi, I’ve installed the game on a mate’s computer, just to try it out. Now i want to install it on mine, but after several minutes on getting the message “installing required components… this may take a few minutes” it just shuts down. Is there anyway way of installing it on my computer?
Any information would be much appreciated.
Hi,
I have the same problem as RyanForsy, I followed the above instructions and still got the error message saying “Please verify that there is enough space in your TEMP folder.”, is there anything more i can do?
Thanks
when i got DOW2 first the disk could not be read in the drive properly then i finaly got it to run and installed but every time i play the game is so slow but only once the mission starts, i have turned all the graphics settings down and and got thte best performace out of the computer which is only new and its specs are well able to handle the game but still its like playing in slow motion
Thanks for this great guide! I download the Dawn of War 1.1.1 patch and it fixed the pre and post-missions crashes for me. I also now get this neat Squad summary after missions that i didn’t get before.
To anyone having the TEMP folder problem, what I did was change the effects fidelity and texture back down to high from ultra that I first changed in the config file, now instead of random fps drops and the TEMP error I’m getting a smooth 60fps throughout.
update on crashing after missions : seems like the dawn of war 2 1.1.1 patch deoesn’t fix the crashing after all
Hello againg
i would just like to say arther is on day 16! and all ready on planet merdian i do not understand is it a bug or lack of memory i have 12G left on my c/ drive witch ive downloaded it on. If eny 1 says try and reinstall :S theres no point becouse ive tryed it lol
Ryan have you tried updating your copy of DoW? if you torrented it like me you can DL a patch for pirated Dawn of War at demonoid.com (just copy the contents of the patches to your DoW folder.. works for cracked steam installs too)
btw how do i unsubscribe to this page? i prefer visiting sites instead of constantly being mailed about new comments
btw patch is 130 + mb (1.1.0 is around 110mb and 1.1.1 is about 10mb, install the 1.1.0 DOW 2 patch first before 1.1.1)
I have fixed the RyanForsy TEMP problem by decreasing the graphics level. It works. THANK YOU.
Yes i have and my game is a retail i am able to go online and do EVRYTHING! exept for half the campaign lol i dnt know whats happend but im thinknig of starting a new campaign and seeing if it happends againg
i have same problem as you Ryan,i cleaned both planets and now i need to go to Meridian but theres no planet on map,and no missions on planets…
My son has this game & we have spent 3 day trying to “launch” it from Steam without sucess. Can anyone help please.
ive checked the relic forums and these problems similar to mark h and ryan is experienced by many
i’ll keep an eye on a patch or update from relic, i hope they fix this game-breaking bug
must’ve suck for you guys who bought the game though, no offense meant…. if this is how they treat paying costumers then us (not including some of you guys who bought the game) are their insta-karma
Installed from DVD, installed Games for Windows Live and created an account. Registered the DOW2 game to my steam account, steam updated the installation. Double click the icon to launch it and I get a pop up box that says ‘Launching Dawn of War 2′, this disappears then absolutely nothing. I have tried following the tips above with no joy. I am running on Windows XP SP2.
I have this problem that my game just randomly slows down and starts lagging pretty much and I’m pretty sure that its not my PC, as my PC is pretty capable of running the game.
Any idea how to get around that? It is kinda annoying >.<
Help is appreciated.
mine just crashed after about 5 mins, dont matter if it loading a mission, on the main menu etc. quits and says Display Driver stopped working and has recovered. whats wrong there?
My game is retail and when I start the installation it will work to the point where i installs the components and after a few minutes it says “The installation of the game failed to complete. Please try again.” My specs pass the requirements so I don’t think that is the problem.

Well reinstalling isnt what i had in mind—-1. It takes forever over STEAM! 2. It might not even work becouse hundreds of people have the exact same problem its just a matter of time now for a fix
Thank You
Every time I play the angel forge mission I play for a random amount of time then the game freezes. Sometimes if I wait long enough the game minimizes to an oddly coloured version of my desktop with an error message saying that my video card is not acting normally. Then I have to reset to get anything done. I’ve tried turning the settings up and down. I have the latest drivers for my video card. It happens everytime I cannot finish the mission before the crash occurs and I have not had a problem with any other mission.
Hey guys, since the new feb 23rd patch, my game does not load, it just says Crash Report, wtf do i do? i run it through steam, i re downloaded it, it worked before taht patch now its all shit, please help
heyy guys im having trouble with my dawn of war 2 game i installed everyhting and i double click to play the game. then it comes up with a error saying
failed to find surported hardware rending devices. ensure that ur system meets the minuim requirments ofr dawn of war 2. verify that directx properly installed and that u have the latest drivers for ur system
can someone plz help me with this error i really want to play the game thx
Hi, I’ve been having the ‘183′ error after almost all missions. Meaning it crashes to desktop. But it’s getting worse now, I don’t know the name of the mission but it’s at the second planet, I have to protect a few generators. It crashes with a freeze that ends up locking up my computer. Tried 4-5 times. now i have enough… my pc is running sli 4gb of ram, quad core on windows 7. None of my other games crash.
On the relic forum they actually blame microsoft for the crashes, what a load of bullcrap, like Crysis or World in Conflict can run alright but DoW is too much for Vista/W7 to handle. Clowns that cant code if you ask me. Shame. SHAME.
getting black screen on startup, sound runs, fps counter shows the screen/resolution and input is fine, theres just nothing on the screen. minimizing to desktop and tabbing back in dosent work.
Hi guys, I’ve been having this problem since the Beta, I’ll be able to play the game for a few minutes, then suddenly it will become incredibly laggy and crash for no apparent reason, forcing me to reboot. This is really odd as it’s even happened to me when I’ve alt tabbed out to the desktop to close it down by ctrl alt del. I wondered if it was something about the game creating a memory hole as it seems to have a lot of memory related issues, I’m on XP x64 btw.
After mucking around with this one for a while (3 hours), I decided the best solution is to put it in the bin where it belongs. I say **** you Relic. How many times are you going to patch this **** before it works?
So comes a point when you just say **** you Relic, keep your shitty game and I’m sure as hell glad I didn’t pay for this. Sure goes to show how it is worth trying before buying.
I want my 3.6g of data back.
From my specs, it should work fine:
XP SP 2, AMD DC 4400, 2 gig ram, 9800 gtx+, SB XFI.
Every time I played game for 10 min both game and pc become halt.I have a pc that twice more powerful than game requested.My OS Windows Xp S3 and I started to anoyed cause I couldnt get a respond from THQ help section for hours.
/Jodie G. has been assigned your inquiry/
I guess she is sleeping very soundly.
When i start up Dawn of war 2 in window format or in any resolution all i get is a blank screen but sound and all of my drivers are up to date, even left 4 dead works on my pc, i’ve informond Relic but they aint replied so they dnt give a shit lol and i got
ATI Raiden HD 4850
Vista 32 Bit
AMD Phenom 9950 Quad – Core Processor 2.60 GHz each all 4 make 6.68 GHz
Please help, if you know how to fix this issue please email me j_m_punea6@hotmail.com

Anybody help plz :S
I get an error when trying to launch the campaign mode. it says “error starting game” or something like that. I have seen that some people have gotten around this by reducing the graphics quality.
Dual core 3.2
4 gig of mem
Nvidia GT7950 video card
The system played fine for quite a while, and then I came home to play and it just wont open. I have updated video card drivers with no luck.
Any help would be great.
Thanks y’all
yeah i have the same problem as Tim does…i was playing the game and my computer crashed and ever since then whenever i start campaign mode it says “an error has occured starting the game” and its only when i start the campaign…i have a retail version just wondering if anyone can help me out
Thanks
When ever I open up the game the intro video comes in and after its done it says loading and them it crashes. I don’t know what the problem is?
Also getting the “an error occured while starting the game” message. Installed from retail this morning, played the campaign for an hour, came back in the evening and now i’m getting this error and cant play the campaign. I’m guessing it’s probably due to a bug with a patch or something? I’m gonna try updating drivers, if that doesn’t work I may reinstal and see if the same things happens again after the game updates.
If that is the issue, i’d suggest reinstalling and then turning off auto-update via steam. But of course then you cant play online.
This game and any other that use Steam are a waste of time, and money. First off, when i got DOW2, i tried to install but it wouldn’t work. I later find out that the game was released 24 hrs early in Australia. Second, it took forever to download the game, even when using hi speed broadband. Thirdly, the game played until day 2 when Steam decided to start downloading a pacth/update which returned me to my desktop and quit the game. The update was about halfway through when it automaticly reset my computer causing it to crash as it would read my boot system or something. This happen every time an update happened and even when i tried to uninstall the game soo i was left with no choice but to wipe my computer clean and start afresh.
Another game that uses Steam i am having trouble with is Empire total war.
GAMES USING STEAM ARE A WASTE OF MONEY AND THE DEVELOPERS OF GAMES CONSIDERING USING IT IN THE FUTURE SHOULD READ SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND THINK TWICE.
(I hope one of them isn’t Starcraft 2)
Whenever I try to start Dawn of war 2 it will start installing Games for Windows – Live and then after step 3 is complete the game doesn’t start and nothing happens. How can this be fixed?
Hey. Problem #2 persists for my duo core toshiba despite the patch and lowering all graphic options. My video card is supposedly up to par.
Am I missing something?
-R
ps. Hey i noticed that after the patch a few days ago the graphics look a bit better, but I didnt raise anything. WTF?
Also, before I switched the levels, it crashed after 1 level of play. Where as after I lowered them I could get through about 1.5 levels before it crashed.
Now, after this patch, it crashes after 1 level.
Fucking Gamesworkshop has a tendancy to push shit and fuck its customers. I hope they didn’t also screw around the people with ultra-graphic capable comps.
I am having trouble getting the game to run quickly. It is constantly lagging and I have set the game graphics and my nvidia graphics to improve performance as much as possible. All detail is removed in the hope to speed up the game.
My pc hardware meets all the standard requirement to run the game, and then some. But it is still slow. Even the latest nvidia driver didn’t help.
I just don’t know what to do at this stage
hi!! i have the retail version of dawn of war 2 i managed to intall it and update it with no problems but now that everything is done whenever i launch the game a message from steam pops up saying that it is launching DOW2 and when the little message goes away nothing happens , can anybody help me with this problem
my system is above the standard requirments for running the game
and also is there any way of playing the single player campaign without being connected to steam or the internet
thankz
it would be nice, you would think that they’d actually try and play the game on all windows to see if this crap happened. whenever i get to the menu screen (after the countless reinstallations) it says ‘link your live account in order to create a save’ – i click it and then it laggs horrifically and decides to crash. why couldnt they have just stuck with the other dawn of war/ expansion packs simplicity of just installing a game? at the very least they should bring out a second version of this game which follows that format – instead of a game which wants you to sign up to 3000 different things at once resulting in crashes. and i’m sorry but vista is the updated version of windows? why the hell did they decide to obviouisly design it for windows XP because it seems less people are having any major problems on those operating systems.
if it had said ‘yh this doesnt support vista’ – which is doesnt then i wouldnt have got. when i’ve got like triple they specified system requirements it’s kind of pathetic to be honest.

Hi I have been playing DOW2 since it was released and I have already beaten the campaign once plus I play online once in a while. I have a pretty decent rig and I played on all the settings maxed out until today when suddenly the game slows down to an almost unplayable rate and I see these yellow and blue circles on the screen around the characters as if they were surrounded by an aura or something to that effect. I have a Geforce GTX 280 graphics card. What I don’t understand is that I have been playing with the settings maxed our since the game was released, plus I tweaked the graphics in the Nvidia control panel and maxed everything our. Other games play fine so I know it has to do with DOW. I set everything on default in the Nvidia control panel plus I put all my settings on low in the game and it runs fine. I can even put the settings on medium and its perfect but when I crank it up to high settings, it starts slowing down bigtime. I don’t understand can anyone shed light on this sudden change of performance?
I have FIXED the unchangeable graphics problem for Xp sp2.
While stuffing around with the dow 2 files and such I discovered that you can change the graphic higher if you simply go into your Dawn of War 2 dir, go to drivers and open either ati or nvidia depends on your graphics card should open with note pad or any equivalent, then find your graphics card model. And next to the 0 replace with 1,2 or 3.
1=Medium settings
2=High settings
3=ultra settings
this is mine:
; geforce 6xlow (6600):
begin device 0×00F1 0×00F2 0×00F3 0×00F4 0×0140 0×0141 0×0142 0×0143 0×0145 0×0147 0×0161 0×0162

Hi, I installed Warhammer 40k DoW2 but everytime i try to launch it, my screen turns off and says mode not supported,what do I do???
pls HELP ME!
Whenever i try to launch DoW2, there comes a steam-frame up saying it’s launching. Yet the frame dissapears in a second and nothing happens. I already tried reïnstalling (twice!) yet it doesnt fix it. plz help me
i set up dawn of war 2 installed fine installed of steam fine updated fine i press launch game and it comes up with – Graphics Setup – Failed to set up a working mode for the rendering device.This could be due to having a old version of direct X but when i chek what directX i have it says 10 ?
Graphics setup? never happened to me, any way try and go into your dow 2 dir, go to installs and start the DXSETUP let it fully install. dow 2 has no dx 10 features as far as I know.
Make sure you at least meet the minimum requirements for the game. Is your graphics card supported? They have a list of supported graphics card in the “drivers” folder in the dow 2 dir.
DOW2 requires a graphics card that is shader 3.0 capable if your gfx card does not support that it probably is the reason for your dilemma.

Whenever i try to launch DoW2, there comes a steam-frame up saying it’s launching. Yet the frame dissapears in a second and nothing happens. I already tried reïnstalling (twice!) yet it doesnt fix it. plz help me
”
Have you installed a legit copy of dow 2. Are you running steam in offline mode?
————————————————————-
I have a legal game, and im running steam online
“ok here is what i did to make my game launch. go here http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/d…displaylang=en
and download microsoft live, the error i was getting is that it was unable to launch the auxilary installer, this is becuase
Xliveredist.msi was missing, i found this out tring to launch the auxilary install directly from the disk, so i assumed xlive
was the microsoft live gaming thing, i tried running the xlive file on the disk and there was a missing dll so i got a fetal error and the instalation stoped.
by downloading microsoft live gaming the problem is resolved because the Dll that is apperantly missing on the disk is in the downloaded copy. after
installing the download launch your game from the steam menu, it will take a minute because it has to run the aux installer, but
you should no longer get the error because your microsoft live gaming is installed and it is required for the auxilerey installer to run.” Quoted from http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/t/2577.aspx
Hope this helps the infinite start up issue.
Crash Crash and Many Crash i can finish one game on 5.
core 2 duo 2.66, geforce 9600gt, 2 go, it s not a hardware problem i think.
I ve reinsatalled whole the game with correctly patch one after one but, CRASH AGAIN
try to desactivate all graphics options and play medium but the result is the same. CRASH CRASH and RECRASH
Someone has maybe a miracle solution. Maybe the next patch but i m sure the problem will not resolve by relic
Thx To answer if you have an alternative solution
I can’t even get into the game because I can’t install .Net Framework 3 and Microsoft refuses to help me. They keep referring me to their FAQ when I keep telling them I did everything in the FAQ. I know this isn’t your problem but PLEASE do not tell me to take this up with Microsoft! I’ve tried and they are useless!
installed steam, dow II and eeverything. still crashes on startup reinstaling and what have you does nothing except waste most of my valuable CoD time (atleast three hours). godamn ot guys get it together.

i have been playing pc games for, well a lot of years, never have i been so constanly screwed by an instalation, this whole process, is terrible and i hope the people that thought of doing this, catch a fatal sexualy transmitted disease from their dog

blue screen every 6 or 7 games with win vista 64 bit , crash report very often … think that THQ and RELIC had have been w8ing a little bit to release this game !
hi i installed the game and updated and whatnot but when i run launch the game it says “could not set a redering level. this could be to an outdatewd Direct X version.” i have check direct x and everything i could think of yet to no avail. could someone possibly help me??
my friend and i hooked up to play a lan game. during this my computer shut down during gameplay. now it shuts down my computer all the time during the main screen.
hey i have a problem the same as some people here on the fourm i start up my game and there is just a black screen i can hear the sound tho just wondering if any has a fix thank if email me at ryankitching_2k6@hotmail.com
Ummm im having the trouble in which when i try to start this bloody game up, up comes this message “failed to set a wrking mode for the rendering device. This could be due to having a old version of direct x installed” WHY?!?!?!?!?! i spent $100 on this game and all i want is it to work….ive tried every rational thing i can think of….downloading, checking, searching and more checking! some1 PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS!!! my email is jesingleton@mgs.vic.edu.au
hi guys, im having a problem with starting my game. i have installed everything needed, steam, games for windows live, and direct x. i have a system capable of running the game so that shouldnt be the issue. what my problem is, is when i open it from the shortcut, it loads the nvidia screen, then it loads the dow2 screen with the loading bar at the bottom of the screen, when it loads, the sounds plays for about half a second then i get the message on my screen: dow2 has stopped working. its a windows message so i dunno if its how its been installed or anything, but ive reinstalled 3 times and its never worked. this is the furthest its ever gotten and im not up for installing it again if its not going to work. any ideas?
doesnt matter, i found that installing the new patch that i got it to work, i will report back if there are any difficulties with the game later on
I am stuck at the installing local cache files… and that is all it does. I never get farther. I have tried copying the files to disk. I have tried installing from a back up. I have tried Installing from disk… (what a failure on that attempt). I am unable to get a legit game to install, and this is driving me insane. I have had better luck with the pirate brews than this.
i know that it is not legit or anything, but i managed to get my friends one working after he had trouble installing theone hedownloaded from thislink http://torrents.to/search#mininova:dawn of war
after installing that one i downloaded the patch uploaded by the same person to his computer and pasted all the unraed files into the game folder and it worked like a charm.
link to the patch is http://torrents.to/search#mininova:dawn of war 2
if anyone uses these links then i will give you the guidlines of how to install it, you need to unrar everything into whatever folder you want it to be, i just putit into his my documents folder, then you click on the setup file, that will come up with a dos window asking you to press any key, when you do it will start to unpack everything and it will show a percentage of how far through it is at the top, ignore the 1% on the screen, then when it is finished unpacking it will come up on the screen that its 10% completed, it will stay there for some time so dont worry about the fact that it hasnt chneged, depending on how fast your computer is, it may take up to about 20/30mins before it goes up to the next level of 25%, after that it should speed up and get to 45% then onwards and start asking you to install direct x, and games for windows, when it completes, there is also a software folder in the unrared files, it will be in a folder inside that one that you need to open and install the c++ files if you havent got them already. once installed you can either run the loader which istitled start and should be on your desktop, or you can add the files from the update, all you do is unrar the folder patch 1.0-1.3 then copy the files from there into the game folder and it should merge all the files and over right the ones that it needs to replace. once doing that you get a new loader, that is titled loader, but i dont think it will be put to the desktop, instead you should make a shortcut to the desktop, and then just for the sake of making it look right, right-click the loader icon on the desktop, click on properties, then on change icon, then browse for the icon for the dawn of war 2 exe that is in the game folder and that should change the icon to the dawn of war icon. once you have finished that you can change the name of the loader to whatever you want and you are done.
hope this helps everyone who is stuck.
may i also add that you need to have steam on your system
I have steam installed and updated.
Hey. My game works fine.. But when it comes to angels Forge or gate i dont remember the name.. Is lagging as hell.. I can’t do anything nearly..
And i got alot of GB free so.. I dont know what it is … Help please…
Thanks
I’m getting a crazy draw error. Half of my screen to the left side is filled with triangles, or has a pink tone to it, and will not render the game. I am running an AMD x2 3.2ghz processor with 4GB Ram and an 8800GTX with the latest drivers. Even with low graphics on the draw error persists.
Howdy,
the game runs fine and everything but when it signs into LIVE a update thing pops up and that’s all cool but it won’t do anything. The update thing will move along the bar but won’t go away or say its installed or anything. The current version I have is 1.2.1. Its freezing along the progress bar in the update thing, anyone know why and how I can fix this?
Hi, my Dow II has been working perfectly.
I get this message “An update is required for windows live. If you decline this update you will be signed out of live” (Basically i can’t play the game without it.)
So i click yes and the loading bar zooms up right to the end and just freezes. I’ve left it like that for an hour. No change.
When i first tried downloading the update it moved normally then stopped at the end. A friend told me to sign out, sign in, then retry. No difference.
I alt-tabbed to check if it was being blocked by firewall but couldn’t see any blocking messages.
Anyone got any idea how to fix this?
Thius it sounds like we got the same problem >.<
Ah alright, problem solved. I just left it on for a couple hours and it eventually donloads.
I Bought Dawn of War 2 a few months ago and it constantly crashed durig gameplay.
Eventually I downloaded a Patch and now it just crashes when I press play on the start up menu.
It will simply pause for a few seconds and a loading bar will come up saying “Dawn of war 2 has stopped working. Microsoft is looking for a solution. Then just comes up with a small window saying something like “Dawn of war 2 had to close” and gives me no options.
Any Help cause I neeed it.

Hey, I have installed DoW2 in my PC and everything works fine. The only problem I have is the graphics. I can’t set it to high, not even medium. I am running the game on a Pentium D with 3.00 GHz with 1.5 GB of RAM memory and a 1GB graphics video card. How much more RAM do I need to run the game on at least medium or high? I can’t stand playing DoW 2 in low graphics, It’s not fun.
Any help would be needed T_T
RE: TIM
It’s not the amount of memory on your graphics card that’s important, it’s the gpu…what is your graphics card? and do you have all the most recent drivers?
My DoW2 crashes on startup. I’m pretty sure my specs will work with it tho’. I reinstalled the game twice including Windows Live yet it’s still not working. ‘DoW2 has stopped responding etc’ > Close Program > Back to desktop. Eeeks. Help pls? Thanks in advance !
Wasabi – tried the fixes at the top of the page? got the lastest patch and drivers?
Hey,

iwhen i start the game i receive a message “steam error”.pls help me
hi guys, i noticed some of you are having the problem of launching DOW2. u click on the launch button and nothing happens? or you see the launching game box taking forever to launch?
I had the same problem. What i did to make it work is…
1. go to File>settings
2. then at Beta Participation: set change to Warhammer 40k DOW2 Beta
3. you will be prompted to restart steam (if nothing happens it should continue to install some other Microsoft stuff… that was lacking and causing the game to stall.
4. even if restarting steam is a b*tch. just go to your task manager – and force end steam.exe. and launch it again.
5. cross ur fingers and hope it works!
hope this helps – it did for me :p
Cheers

Playing DOW II on Vista Ultimate x64. I have a x58 asus p6t board with 6gb tripple channel with gtx 295 card using 185.5 as 186.x causes sync issues with monitor. I find when playing the game I have had no problems until I installed Vista x64 service pack 2. Usually what happens is shortly after playing graphics can be choppy followed by static noise and when I hear the static noise i know shortly after the game will crash or freeze. Anyone else having this issue? Is it known or just me? I have uninstalled SP2 and find I do not have this problem to date, but could it be something else?
Thanks,
marc

Hi, just recently the game crashed for me.

but then i realised my rank had suddenly dropped from rank 56
all the way down to 2 so i was wondering can anyone give me some help as to get back to rank 56.
please help me
My DoW 2 crashes every other time i go into find a game(multiplayer) and click start search, and it crashes often. Occasionally it freezes up in the middle of the game but i can still talk to other players, but i have to crash the game to get out of the frozen game. I have a AMD athlon 64 dual core X2 4000+, 2109 mhz, 2GB memory,nvidia 9500 gt, vista 32 bit.

i have installed the game. When i try to launch the game it says ‘Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirments for dawn of war 2. verify that directx is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system.
I have the same problem that many people here has, y run the game and play the campaign mode but is incrediblu slow, my system is more than cappable of run the game so i dont now what the problem could be, does anyone has a solution???
Whenever i used to play it it turns itself off, it somehow sorted itself out now, we did buy a new better moniture though, tht could hav somethin to do with it, hope it helped
Spent the last two days trying to get this to work. My machine runs a dual core 3.2 pentium D, 2gb of dd2, and an Nvidea 250 gts 1gb edition. My video card keeps turning off during the game and my computer restarts (doesn’t matter if I’m going to the options menue or running a mission, happens after a matter of minutes). Before I was using a 9500 gt and it would run with crappy settings without crashing like this. I’ve tried drivers off the disk that came with the new card as well as Nvidea’s drivers off their site…doesn’t fix it. I also went through a grueling 8-hour update download with steam after I installed the game…so I’m afraid to reinstall the game. I checked my device manager and it says that the driver for my system interrupt controller is missing…could this be causing the problem? Or is it a problem with DX? I’ve got enough airflow so I’m sure the card isn’t over heating. I’ve also tried other games without a problem, so it sounds like a conflict with DOW II specifically. Please tell me somebody knows what this is????
hi recently had to take my graphics card out wondering if an ASUS m3n/hd/hdmi on board graphics will run dow2 have 4gb corsair ram keeps telling me my system isnt good enough, directx isnt installed properly or im not running latest driver

thank you. =D
Hi, I have enjoyed this game and have been trying to continue enjoying it to the end of the campaign but every time I attempt to continue to “the secrets of angel forge” mission on the planet meridian the game without fail crashes. I have already tried just about everything mentioned here to quick fix the problem. I have lowered my settings in the game to the lowest graphic settings possible (even with no sound) and the result is the same. It will play the cut scene before the mission is supposed to begin just fine. Once the troops are supposed to be in the players command the game crashes and a little gray/green window opens up that says the following:
Fatal Scar Error – Execution Paused
SGroup_GetSpawnedSqaudAt: Invalid
Spawned SquadGroupObs index 1
Lua AngelForge_ObjReliquary.scar
Ln 644 (Reliquary_TarkusReallyWorking)
Below this section is a large font that says “Resume Game” which of course does not resume the game. If you click on it the screen immediately freezes and again displays the previous window I just illustrated.
My computer specs are as follows:
OS – Windows Vista Home Premium
MB – Asus M2A-VM
Chipset – AMD Phenom 9550 quad core
Memory – 4 GB (2 2GB slots)
HD – 500 GB
Graphics Card – R4670, 512MB DDR3 w/DirectX 10.1
I’m not sure what else to do to get the game to run correctly. If you can assist me with the reason for the problem and how I can correct it please do, thank you.
I have a very unique problem the game runs fine i have teh requirements but all the objects are black the trees, buildings, rocks are there but all black. You can still see the yellow ring around chest but they are black. Everything else is fine the ground and troops are all there and before and after missions is find PLEASE HELP
When I try to open dawn of war it has a msgbox:
Steam Error:
Application load error 5:0000065434
any1 can help me please?
Eric,did you download steam first? You have to download steam first before you can play DoW2. If you have downloaded steam first and its doing that you may need to reinstall, sounds like you may have a corrupted file.
i have installed the game. When i try to launch the game it says ‘Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirments for dawn of war 2. verify that directx is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system.

PLEASE HELP ME THIS GAME NOT WORKING HAS BEEN RUINING MY LIFE
(It is the platinum edition)
i just bought dawn of war today and it crashes whenever i am about to play a game any advice on that
sorry dawn of war 2 today
i get an error saying please varify directx,or please make sure you have the latest drives and even could not find hardware rendering device can some one help iv been want to to get this and i got it but it wont let me play on it
It freezes randomly. I have thrice the computer requirements, and it only happens in one mission. I can move the mouse and hear sounds. My CPU rise from 20% to 100%.
Okay, so, everything works perfectly for me, the game runs; but the graphics settings it’s on are disgusting. I’ve tried turning them up, and the options are avaliable (i.e nothing is greyed out), but every time I click accept or try to test it, it resets everything to low and then either runs the test or goes to the title screen with the changes rejected (no error message comes up except the warnings that high settings could cause the game to be unstable). I should easily be able to run it on high, i have a quad core 2.6ghz processor, nvidia 9800GT, 4 gig of DDR3 ram, 1TB HDD and windows vista ultimate… So WTF is going on?
I’m in a bit of a pickle here.
According to the “can you run it?” site (http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/analysis.aspx), my system exeeds the recommended specs for DoW2. However, when I installed the game, the movement was slow and jumpy and the game was virtually unplayable, even on low graphics settings. I’m using an ATI Radeon HD 3400 series video card on Vista. Would anyone be able to help me with this?
hey whenever i launch the game it brings the load screen up and then just a black box with a flashing thing that looks like this( _ ) can anyone tell me whats happening

Hello. I have a problem where my mouse pointer does not show on the screen. The only way I can navigate is when something highlights when my mouse is put overtop of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am on windows 7 but it did this for when I was on XP as well. I looked in the options and could not find a solution to this. Thank you in advance.
I just fixed it with the help of a relic board person. The solution: Turn off mouse pointer trails.

I’ve got a vista and it works fine… until the tyranid mission where I have to poison the veins. When I complete it it just blanks out
I can play all the other missions and no problems it just seems to be this one 
when trying to play dawn of war 2 i get a text box saying that my video card is not compatible with the game….i looked at the requirements and i have passed even the recommended requirements so i now have to play with the lowest graphic detail…..i just want to know why it is saying that and how to fix it
@jobo : you may want to update your video card drivers to the latest version. what is your video card btw?
@unhappy : i head that one got fixed in a patch. DoW2’s campaign is glitchy w/o the patches
ok, iam getting upset. I have had DOW2 sence the day it came out. I have played it a millon times no problem. Then about mid Dec. i went to play and every time it goes to start, after the start up screen comes up, the screeb goes black the dow arrow comes up like its going to start and then, crash. I get that crash report window. I have reinstalled the game twice, i have updated directx, and steam has updated the other day. I have no idea what is going on. can some one help
I have this game and finished it through a sitting half-way through the game a view months ago. Reason I don’t play it much is because it crashes my entire computer every time.
I go to play online and it crashes the computer, I get into a game and it crashes the computer completely, and it mostly happens in last stand cause I don’t play the regular online mode much.
Any help? this is preventing me from playing the game. Also have Relic stopped support for the game???
when i try and launch the game the steam box comes up for a few seconds saying the game is launching and then it disapears and nothing happens
I down the down of war 2, and i cant play.
I follow instructions, i install it well, i try to find something in some forum or some website… but nothing yet.
The only error or thing that the game says, is a problem, with 3 files. One, in ‘my games\down of war 2\logfiles’ its a .txt named ‘warnings.txt’ with zero kb.
And the other 2 files, are in ‘windows\temp’. Those are files with extention ‘*.dmp and *.xml’ and always have a different name.
Thats something envolved with a webpage and a dmp file ? who knows !
The point is, that i cant plat. Not even see the presentation of the game, or something.
I check the system, advanced and temps, spaces, erasing, reinstalling all, etc…
And not works at all !!!
The only thing that works are the steam and live.
And the Warhammer, are in my drive, only for see the folder.
If there any solution, please: caos_f_2000@hotmail.com
