I hope you fixed the issue

I have tried, I've deleted the files like you've said and re-downloaded, still General Failure.

Hi, im experiencing the same "general failure" issue
I´we already changed the language format in win7 to english(US) and reinstalled both homeworldRM and complex mod - didn´t help either.
Any ideas what else could i try?
below is my latest error log:

i am also experiencing the same general failure, what ever i do i cant get it online. and with 10.5.4 i didnt had any issues

well you have a corrupted file with an anomalous character A, check files

finally, after 2 re-downloads the mod works. many thanks to you beghins.

so downloading is the key

reloading works
