The game works flawlessly out of the box. Most of the errors you are seeing below are from users who are... lets say winter temperature IQ. Or restarted, you get the picture.


If you played these games before and you're getting weird sync issues, try this.

- Go to the games properties in steam, and disable the steam cloud.

- LINUX: /run/media/[username][drive]/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/15620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Dawn of War 2

- WANDOZE: C:/users/[username]/My Documents/My Games/Dawn of War 2

- COPY/SAVE THE WHOLE DAWN OF WAR 2 FOLDER IN MY GAMES, KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE, THEN DELETE THE WHOLE FOLDER IN MY GAMES.

- Enable the Steam Cloud Save

- Click the sync/cloud icon in the steam library to get it to sync the (empty) folder. You should see a Checkmark appear as if it were successful. (At this point you should have overwritten the saves online with nothing, this is good)

- Launch the game again > Create a new profile > Exit the game

- It should have synced as normal, now copy your previous saves back into the main folder and restart the game.

- When you launch the game, delete the new profile you created, and your old ones should function as intended.

Make sure you completely reinstall the whole game if you have played previously with mods.

This is a steam issue and not a DoW issue btw. But this should fix it for both platforms.

Since that issue was fixed, the game plays as intended right out the box. Do not listen to the... "simple jacks" in the audience below. They simply live that Doofus Rick lifestyle.



- Weird issue but if you have Japanese Characters in your name, or ASCII in your name, when you try and type to say, create a new profile or something along those lines, it just will not let you type. Had to dig for a while to figure that out, once i took the special symbols out of my name it started working.

Big thanks to everyone who read this, and anyone who gives a jester emote. Those emotes mean you made a stupid person mad and I love them so much. ty. <3
