delad (2009-02-22)

can't get it to work. I've tried following the steps as outlined but the Vitality installer doesn't extract properly. All it extracts are the files 'drivers' and 'game assets'. Neither of which contain livesetup or the installer

delad (2009-02-22)

okay, got it. Patience was all that was required.
Question, where is the crack? can't find it in the Vitality folder. I can find 'install' , 'locale' , 'platform' , and 'xlive-start' folders but no dow2 crack. can somebody help?

Lightpower (2009-02-22)

Hi people! I copyed the crack, and the game works still fine, but STILL, even with the disable32bit chek -yam ored i canz get the damn ultra effects to work!!!??? Whats the fucking problem? im running 32bit vista ultimate, core2duo e6750 on 3.4ghz, 4gb ddr2 ocz, gtx260
help needed, iam desperate

jaylo101 (2009-02-22)

Lightpower what version of the game is this? Can you connect to steam with the cracked copy, because if this copy is unpatched & you can't connect to steam then your shit out of luck as the game can only be patched through steam & you need the day 0 patch for the " disable32bit chek -yam" to function.

9166 (2009-02-23)

seed ppl,, after + 80 % speed goes down to less than 20: (

Lightpower (2009-02-23)

rakuna (2009-02-25)

Having some problems with the installer. When trying to choose the folder, the installer just gives out the notice " could not start tool". Any ideas?

rakuna (2009-02-25)

Nevermind, just had to run as admin.

bobalazs (2009-02-26)

dhawkmoon (2009-03-06)

I am by no means a noob with over 15 years in the warez scene and this release is a bunch of horseshit. I can't get this thing to run for anything. I waited for almost 7Gb of this crap to download and its totally worthless! I'll steer clear of anything ViTALiTY releases from now on. Gophukyurselv!

sharlenetan (2009-03-06)

am i doing something wrong?? after i extracted into C:\Games\DOW2 its only 3.66gb while the file is 6.73gb???? i copied xlive_start to the folder and opened it but got "Steam must be running to play this game" ..if i click DOW2 worst "Application load error 5:0000065434" do i need a crack for this???

dako93 (2009-03-08)

i am dowloading this rigth now and i would apreciate if anyone could tell me if it really works....
and sorry for the bad english...

dako93 (2009-03-09)

i will try to do everyting from the begining maybe there was something i did wron... i will apreciet a little help!!!!!

dako93 (2009-03-09)

wrobel2222 (2009-03-10)

Im trying to run install from Vitality folder but it just switch off when i choose location where to unpack it. Any solution?

MILKOD2001 (2009-03-11)

game works(just do what STRONGN21 wrote), it looks very nice but after 15 missions it gets very very boring, all the time the same shit... :(

wrobel2222 (2009-03-11)

Im doing what stongnc21 wrote but still after running install.exe and choosing directory window is just switching off

danga294 (2009-03-13)

I cannot unrar for some reason. It gives me a message saying something like:
"Write error in the file vty-0229.iso. Probably the disk is full"
But I have over 35 GB of free space left so that is not the problem...
Any ideas?
I've had a similar problem with one of vitality's other game uploads (Madden 09 - which I ended up deleting b/c I was never able to unrar the ISO...)
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

OG_Sabre (2009-03-17)

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOUR A NEW USER
===========================
The installer program hardly works, and when it does it does not complete the install.
What a waste of my monthly allowance for downloading this absolute rubbish upload.
Add to that the absolute uselessness of all the repliers to this thread and you've got nothing more then a useless ISO, useless advise and complete waste of time.
Why can't someone - for once - actually go INTO DETAIL of how they got the program to install, run and safely operate.
Not just some nOOb - 'thanks it worked' comment.
So lets test the waters, can someone - for everyones sake out there - run through the installation process STEP BY STEP.
I dont care if I have to read a page and a half of stuff...I've been D/loading program files for ages, and this one is the first that has stumped even me.
SO PLEASE - SOME ONE WITH A BRAIN
=========================
Please list the steps and what to do - otherwise stop uploading useless files that hardly anyone can use.
Thats my two cents..

Jheyzon (2009-03-17)

This is a great upload :)
I pity people who can't even extract the ISO inside the files.. maybe these guys need to go back to torrent skul hahaha..
Anyhows, this is good stuff.. definitely worth the download :)

humungus1 (2009-03-24)

dako93 could you please tell us what you did after copying the crack and getting the second error to make it work?
Here's what I did, I installed it all according to their instructions. I copied the crack after being alerted to it's filename by dako93. I also copied the xlive_start file into the game dir and ran it from there. This gave me an error and a bug splat page with an option to report the error.
I couldn't go any further.

Calibus (2009-04-05)

just finished downloading! looks sweet! playing it now! excellent torrent! thanks! ;bd
p.s. how do you uninstall it..? i can`t find it in the add/remove programs..

Rabidrock (2009-04-13)

Call me a noob, but I don't know how to mount this with Daemon Tools Lite. There is no image within the folder. Just .001 through .073 files and a .sfv file, along with the .nfo file.
Any help?

Rabidrock (2009-04-13)

Nevermind I got it.

blind486 (2009-04-22)

The game worked fine in offline. But after i updated this vitality version to 1.2.1 patch the xlive_start.exe stopped working. Anything knows how to make the DOW 2 ViTALiTY working with the 1.2.1 patch?

 matimike (2009-05-07)

worked perfectly thank you AiTB

JSmiter (2009-05-17)

The game crashes as soon as the intro movie finishes. What gives?

xnpplo526 (2009-05-24)

How do i unpack?

Dimind (2009-06-04)

Why the fuck cant ppl write what progs they use for this.
First, the uploader: when using out of ordinary progs, write what you use. It doesn't make you look smart, or us like idiots. It just make you look like an arrogant geek.
Second. ppl asking questions about how to-do-what-ever, when you find out what to do don't just write " Nevermind, found out what to do". Write what you found out you fucking idiots. I you had questions, very often others are wondering about the same thing.

DETAILED INSTALL NOTES:
1.) Always remember to check required system specs and game information / reviews beforehand to save alot of time, pain, and
bandwith:

2.) Get torrent.
3.) Unpack:
Download WinRAR (free).
Right click on vty-0229.001 in the folder of the torrent.
Click on 'Open with' on the right click menu.
Find in the window that pops up the WinRAR executable.
In WinRAR, it should show you some '.iso' file.
Select that file, and extract that file to some directory.
4.) Burn or mount:
Download Daemon Tools (free) (I was using daemon tools pro edition, so these instrucitons should apply to that if not the
other editions as well).
You need to mount the '.iso' file with this program. To do this, open Daemon Tools, click file.
On the file menu, click add images.
In the window that pops up, go to the directory you saved the iso file.
Open the iso file.
Right click on the image of the file that pops up.
Click mount on the right click menu.
On the window that pops up, select your language.
Allow the installation to work, when it starts doing the 'steam' installation it will ask you to create a steam account. Do
that.
Eventually it will ask you for your product code. Exit from the install window at this point.
5.) Close autorun, run install.exe from the ViTALiTY folder:
Open up an explorer window (window key + e), go into the mounted DoW2 in the explorer window, go into the ViTALiTY folder,
run install.exe.
Select a directory to extract the original installer in the window that pops up (extracting may take a while, don't stop it).
Go into the directory to which the files were just extracted.
Go into the install folder.
Run DXSETUP.exe in that folder. Allow it to finish installing.
Run from that same folder gfwlivesetupe.exe. Allow it to finish installing.
6.) Copy the crack from the ViTALiTY folder:
Do this again: Open up an exporer window (window key + e key), go into the mounted DoW2 in the explorer window, go into the
ViTALiTY folder.
Copy all the files except install.exe.
Go into the directory to which the files were extracted by install.exe in step 5 (above).
Paste all the files you just copied in here.
Say yes to all when it asks you to overwrite the other files already there.
****As a side note, in the folder into which you pasted just now, there is a folder called Manual, which is the game manual
in pdf format. They probably have troubleshooting infos there too .
7.) Run xlive_start.exe to start the game (located in the folder you are in at this point (you just pasted this file in
there)).
Click Campaign.
8.) Create an xLive offline account if asked:
Simply click create offline account, and give it a nickname.
9.) Now you are ready to play.
But first, remember that you need to keep seeding the torrent, and also remember that if you enjoy this game, then you need
to go out and buy it.
And, of course, scan for virus trojan (mine came out clean, obviously).
You may also want to patch it or update it, but I don't know how that might screw up the game, so if anyone wants to give it
a shot, please detail what you did.
Thanks, ViTALiTY, PirateBay, and all seeders.
Nice game, I enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, with only an offline xlive account (the online one requires a product key), you can't do multiplayer, which is
arguably the greatest overall strength of this game. It'd be pretty kickass if someone could point us to a keygen or something for this game. Also, you can't get achievements without online xlive account (with product key).
P.S.: It sux having to figure half of this shit out myslef. Please, for the sake of everyone's sanity, next time you
torrent something give a good description of what you do with the resulting files, because 80% of the people who torrented
this probably ended up trashing a perfectly good game.
And for fuck's sake, if you make a comment asking people for help here, and then you figure out the solution, tell people on
here what the problem was exactly and how exactly you solved it nobody car

1730DTLA (2009-06-26)

I thought I was the only one getting bored with idiotic geniuses.
Thank you for the CLEAR, intelligent instruction.

NecrosVenator (2009-06-28)

weedle, thanks for your instructions
except.... i can't get winrar to read the files. it keeps saying "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged."
I tried 7zip and HJsplit and they both just give me "vty-0229" files. They file extension doesn't even exist. i tried renaming the .001 to .rar, didn't work. tried adding .iso to the vty-0229--still didn't work
anyone got any ideas on what to dooo? T_T

dark-pup (2009-07-10)

@NecrosVenator: this is the way I did it: open Winrar and explore the folder where you got this download, you'll see the .001, etc files there. Explore the first one as it it was a folder instead of a file and you'll find the ISO. Extract it wherever you want and that'll do it (the whole thing took me about 20 minutes with 2Gb ram, so be patient).
But, here's my own problem, hope someone can help me:
I've installed all, but after the intro (which I cannot skip) and the loading screen with all the copyright things, I get a black screen with a cursor (I think here is where I should get the game menu) and in less than a minute a pop-up window appears telling me that DoW II ceased to work and then it closes itself.

Hi All,
when i try to open the ?install.exe? file, the one in the vitality folder i get a virus warning, more precisely avira tells me that there is the trojan TR/DROP.70144
It?s just me? should I ignore it?

wedajm (2009-11-26)

It´s not just you, my mcafee 2009 finds a trojan too

AlikSong (2009-11-28)

PPLZ calm down! i hav the answer to all this!
steps:
1. install
2. close the autorun.exe after the installation finishes
3. go to vitality crack folder and run the install.exe, extract to whichever directory u installed the game in
4. copy platform.dll in the vitality crack folder into the directory.
5. it will ask u to replace the one that is already there... make backup if u want to but continue if u don't.
6. then u shuld see xlive_start in the install folder, run it (for vista, run as admin)
7. when game starts, click the live button on top right corner.
8. click, create new account.
9. scroll down and u shuld see in blue, a create local account button
10 click and confirm your name
11. u r ready to play XD enjoy!

eggzachly (2010-01-05)

yeah... um... MSE found a trojan when i tried open install.exe as well - so that makes 4 of us.
this is fucked up, i wouldn't download this.

brunohll (2010-02-10)

Also got trojan horse warning from AVG9 with Install.exe file. But with AVG it disables the file... :(
I know sometimes cracks are seen as viruses/trojans because it's modified code. So judge for yourself if you're comfortable with running the program.

Pirate525 (2010-02-23)

MSE found a trojan install.exe, i do not suggest to install that!

AartSnikkelbaard (2010-03-01)

Dudes, isn't it just a false positive like with pretty much every crack out there?

skyflat (2010-03-01)

is there any key??

zimbat (2010-03-15)

uhm, inside the disk there is the ViTALiTY folder:
~/ViTALiTY/
Install.exe
locale.ini
Platform.dll
vitality.dll
vitality.nfo
xlive_start.exe
But execution of this Install.exe from that folder give the following error:
"Windows can not access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item"
Now, I am runnin as admin and even right click and force the app to run as admin but the error does not get fixed.
I have also copied the disk contents and played a bit with the routes and relocating the files in some parts of the folder but nothing has fixed it so far.
What $PATH ? is this absolute or relative? what is the right location or path then?
Thanks.

zimbat (2010-03-15)

lol, and many cracks out there are said to be false positives but there is no such thing lol, if a trojan is detected then it most likely contain one. I do not trust in Macafee and similar although, scan with clamav instead.
But once again, who is dumb enough to have important info and games in the same computer?

tal0nsyi (2010-08-09)

to anyone having problems running the installer in the vitality folder saying that you dont have sufficient rights to execute disable your antivirus program and you should be ok
Great upload thnx ViTALiTY

yarrmatey (2011-01-07)

The install.exe in the Vitality folder does not work. I already turned off AVG and used admin to open it, but it simply says "Failed to open". Nothing seems to get the install.exe to work. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm opened to them, but it looks like this one's a big sack of fail.

sabanknight (2011-01-08)

Ok, I deactivated AVG, but when I go to Vitality\Install.exe I choose a file when I pick my destination (have tried both of my harddrives) I am told 'Cannot Start Tool' I cannot run as admin... because I am running XP 32bit. Anyone have a solution?

zvezdulon (2011-01-15)

For those who recieves Bugsplash on XP64 like me - download Phoenix tool and extract the .sid files manually using it.
The installation by install.exe is incomplete.
Where to get it - jfgi: steam sid extractor phoenix

mauryveio (2011-01-19)

For those having problems:
1-After downloading the whole thing, you may found r001 r000 and whataver files. just open the first one with Winrar and extract the full .iso file.
2-Burn/Mount the the file with Daemon tools or Alcohol 120%.
3-Close the autorun splash installation screen. Open the content of the CD.
4-There, open the Vitality paste, and run (as admin) the install file.Choose the path you want to have the game installed.
5-Wait for a while, just leave it working.
6-After you installed it, enter its paste and try to open DOWN2.exe. If it works, than you're good, just create a gfwl offline profile and play.
7-If you got a 50000:32 (something like it) error, go to gamecopyworld and search the fixed .exe from vitality there. It must come with a xlive_start file. I putted all the content from the fixed exe I found in my game's paste.
8- I opened the xlive_starter and it worked :D !!!
***remember to have C++ (i believe the one from 2005, or 2008). To update you Directx, and to read all of this carefully, 'cause it works! ***

Arrakiz (2011-01-30)

Yeah- except for the fact that install.exe does nothing. Simply nothing. Black windows flashes for like 1/2 a second after telling it where to install files aaand that's it. Nothing.

vishka84 (2011-02-03)

Still crashing after the CG videos. Everything else worked as stated but once I get to the first non CG vid I get the bug splat crash. I'm running win7-64bit GTS250 nvidia card with up to date as of yesterday drivers. Any ideas on how I might fix this?

SamuraiDoushi (2011-02-09)

how can i run the game with options like -dev for mods??? i can't find any way to do it since you need to use the xlive exe
help appreciated

Darkside.. (2011-03-08)

98.9% seed please :)

nox150690 (2011-03-08)

a heads up to anyone using avast anti-virus, it does not allow you to install this game. you will get the "cannot start tool" error. Uninstall avast to install dawn of war ii

Whobuysgames (2011-03-10)

Loving hte campaign, but The Last Stand jsut says there is an error, there a reason why?

cottor (2011-03-29)

Note: If you have avast you do NOT need to uninstall. Simply turn off avast and then run the install file

jcmgamer (2011-04-04)

Everyone that just keeps saying to "let the install.exe do its work", tell me how to actually make it work when win7 says that it stops running.
Disabled avast shields, so those aren't causing the problem.

Golbat (2011-04-05)

I did everything correct up until run Xlive_start. after that, the vitality logo pops up for a few seconds, disappears, and nothing else happens. What did I do wrong?

Golbat (2011-04-05)

Is the file xlive_start the crack? if it isn't then I didn't download the crack

radadafifth (2011-04-18)

"if you get the bugsplat errors, it means you don’t have xlive service running if you’re on windows 7 x64.
you need to make sure the ‘windows live id sign-in assistant’ is running. if it’s running, you should see two processes with the name ‘wlidsvcm.exe’ and ‘wlidsvc.exe.’ " got this from lordhammer
if you get that bugsplat error: after you install the gfwlivesetup.msi go to google and search for windows live id sign-in assistant, install that and look for the processes, then run the game from xlive_start.exe

radadafifth (2011-04-18)

Oh and if you are having trouble with creating an OFFLINE account just click campaign, say yes if it says you need to be logged in to a profile to continue, then a windows live bar comes down, click create profile, then DO NOT click "continue" on the bottom right hand side, scroll down and click on create a local account and make a nickname and your good to go :)!!

abdc1234 (2011-04-26)

Um...I dwnloaded and installed this game. E1 though the installation went fine whenever i try to play(Run xlive_start.exe) a bugsplat error message appears telling me that the game crashed. What to i do?

T2T101 (2011-06-12)

where is the .iso file in this?

Robolew (2011-06-12)

I have mounted the file, and then used Vitality's installer, but it only extracts drivers and game assets. I've read other comments saying you just have to wait, but I've waited a couple of hours now, and besides there is no program running in the task manager. Anyone know what I've done wrong?

Robolew (2011-06-13)

I found out that the problem was my McAfee antivirus software. It kept preventing me from opening the file, which I sorted by temporarily disabling the active scanning, but still didn't work. When I uninstalled McAfee (probably not advisable) it extracted all of the files fine!!

Malekith (2011-08-09)

I cant open install.exe from the vitality folder, says it cant acess the searchway or fil maybe u dont have athority to use it. I have windows 7 64 and i tried as administrator.

Malekith (2011-08-09)

NVM same problem as Robolew, but with AVG 9

SHIT INSTALLER.
YOU CAN'T PLAY MULTIPLAYER LAN GAMES.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH A 2 MINUTE CUT SCENE EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU LAUNCH THE GAME.
PIECE OF SHIT.

mrspit (2011-09-16)

I faced some problems describe in the comments, I'll explain how I solved it even if it's an old upload (thanks by the way)
1/ I couldn't unpack the 73 files with FFSJ, the result is an useless file, you have to unpack with WinRar (be aware that Rarzilla doesn't work with this file, USE WINRAR)
2/ Installer.exe
Well, on Win7 64bits, even if you turn off your antivirus, it will not work, I had to uninstall avast.
And after i will say: "Cannot start tool", because you have to Right-click on it and "Run as Admin"
Installer still unpacking so I will probably face futur problem, fi I have solution I will comment.
By the way, people who have a bugsplat error, or a black screen after intro. I guess it's not a crack/pack problem it's more a game problem:
Drivers/ directX/ C++ / hardware uncompability

jete75 (2011-10-15)

For most of the idiots who think their instructions help:
1. Run the vty-0299 (With universal extractor.
2. Now open the created folder that contains iso
3. Mount the iso, or open it with WinRAR.
4. Run the Install.exe from ViTALiTY folder
5. Notice that it crashes almost instantly after choosing the installation folder
6. Repeat 1-5 for about fifty times and then give up.

jete75 (2011-10-16)

*Continues from my first post
7. When ypu finally get it installed apply the crack.
8. After noticing that the crack gives the bugsplat error, try every comment in here.
9. after noticing that people thinks( exept for that one guy) that the game works instantly after crack, start thinking are they stupid or just bots.
10. Repeat 7-9 for another fifty times and give up again.

kaku007 (2011-10-21)

seeders!!! please!!! am dwlding at 5.5kbps! cmon!!

Sowah (2011-10-30)

@jete75
Ok, here are the instructions for You.
1. Don't buy the game.
2. Try to steal the game by downloading it from TPB.
3. Whine like a spoiled baby because you can run the game.
4. Go nerd rage
5. Write idiotic comment on tpb to let the steam off
6. Still dont apreciate the work of people the cracked the game and uploaded it
7. Remain ignorant
Oh wait, you already followed all these steps.

Theror (2012-01-08)

I run install.exe,choose directory,klick OK and a message is showing: Cannot start tool! I try the another torrent from vitality but the same result.

zmul08 (2012-01-12)

i have no .exe files. they are all vty-0229.001 through vty-0229.073
Unless im missing something, I don't have any exe files. any help would be appreciated. thanks

zmul08 (2012-01-12)

basically i didn't get any iso files like i should have.

DrAmac84 (2012-01-24)

Tnx to uploader and Vitality, awesome torrent, respect!
To the whiners: Damn, guys, I'm the world's largest noob when it comes to cpu stuff yet I had no probs installing this game. If you want the game served on a plate for you, check the store and cough the dough.
1. Check all the comments, there is usually a lot of kind guys who explain everything and solve many problems.
2. There is no iso, exe nor rar files in the torrent. Start the new winrar archive and then open any of the files given in the torrent through the winrar.
3. You should notice the .iso file in the winrar. Extract it wherever you please, and mount the extracted .iso file with daemon or whatever.
4. Skip the autoplay, open the disk drive containing the game and seek vitality folder, there's the installer.
5. Turn off antivirus temporarily if its giving you the trouble.
6. Follow the remaining steps from the first comment posted here.
Enjoy

why is this so slow? all my other torrnets download fine and get up to a few mb/s but now it goes from 0.1 kb/s to 0.9 kb/s. How can I get this to be faster?

mclaud.2000 (2012-03-21)

Install.exe in vitality folder has virus, see

bradyb15 (2012-05-03)

When i click xlive_start it says i have to have steam running where do i download that?

MitchAllen (2012-05-26)

Got the game working thanks all :) But i was wondering what version is this? I was looking for a trainer so i could get unlimited days to mess around with in single player. Thanks :) 1.0 it is not :(

MitchAllen (2012-05-26)

My mistake it is version 1.0 I was using a 1.11 trainer :P The 1.0 trainer works great. (gamecopyworld.com)

MAA11792 (2012-07-02)

For some reason I'm unable to seed this release due to "tracker timed out" and "access denied"?

MAA11792 (2012-07-03)

I have tried on several different machines, with different torrent clients and tracker but the issue remains. Does anyone else have the same issue?

MAA11792 (2012-07-05)

Never mind my lousy spam.. simply had to re-download the .magnet files due to some corrupt data files.. :/

SirTV (2012-07-12)

Well im not going to run any exe which tells me it's infected with trojan....make up your own mind but for me it's a dealbreaker.
Ive seen lots of different types of cracks but for some reason almost none of the are giving these "false positives" some people claim this to be

PhojebanyJozpeh (2012-08-04)

After i unpack first part, the winrar popup some window where i need to put way to file ---- > vty-0229.001.r00 Where it is? Maybe i do something wrong with rename, when i change files format or somethin... Help :E I wanna play :D

PhojebanyJozpeh (2012-08-05)

Almogpas (2012-11-01)

Hello people, I'm here with a solution for your problem.
First unpack the game and mount ISO then follow this tutorial
1. Google and Download "Phoenix SID Extractor".
2. Open it as an admin and install it to a folder anywhere you want (Choose Steam Compatible).
3. On "Instruments" choose SID Unpacker
4. Click SCan a SIM-file and choose (From the mounted ISO [you do that by yourself, look at other users tutorial]) Dawn of War II_disk1.sim.
5. let it run then mark from the buttom window "Dawn of War 2 Common Files.ncf" and "Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II English" (You can take any language, I take English)
6. Click Unpack and choose a folder (EX: C:DoW2)
7. Wait until the white CMD window unpacks it all and closes (Don't touch anything until it automatically closes)
8. Copy the files from Vitality folder on the mounted ISO and paste it into C:Dow2 (Or wherever you installed)
9. Click xlive_start.exe to play the game
*Note that if you took a different language then English then you will have to go to locale.ini and change English to that language.
The game itself works fantastic, the installer? Not so much... Today vitality and other teams knows not to use their own SID unpackers and they make an installer.
Another thing: In order to skip the intro movie(s) go to DoW2GameAssetsDataMovies and take out dowii_into_final.avi, this will remove the 2:30 mins long intro and you won't have to watch it every time you start a game. (You can also take out thq_logo, gfyl_logo, gw_logo and nvidia_logo for no movies at all but that is forbidden by law and I do not support it or encourage it at all.)
Remember to backup all the movie files just in-case because you can never be sure.
(Now I can stop seeding without getting hard feelings.)

Just scanned this torrent and found one Trojan: IDP.Trojan.9E0A031A
Source
X:ViTALiTYinstall.exe

zarkeon (2012-12-11)

I LOVE YOU ALMOGPASS!! You just saved my day.. The Vitality.exe is treated as a virus so it won't open up watever you do to it.. Just follow these fellows guide and you'd be playing it nicely (after the extractions though).. I commend you Almogpass. Genius. (Did I over praise you) hahaha

mlech (2013-02-23)

If anyone else is having the Bugsplat Error when starting a campaign, I created a new offline profile and it worked just fine.
To recap, follow all the directions to instal in the .nfo file, then create a new offline account, then play.

maebe (2013-03-17)

Had to go with another torrent as this one didn't want to download metadata.

Cradge (2013-03-27)

Horrible torrent. Don't download. Get the one by Reloaded.

Vamvakidis (2013-04-04)

Ok. @Almogpas "instal guide" is great, but he forgot a few steps for the Ub3r n00bs..
#1 Rename the files from .001 to .r01 - .002 to .r02 etc etc
#2 Then extract with Winzip or Winrar the ISO
#3 Mount the the ISO with Daemon Tool or Alcohol 120%
#4 Create a Folder to your C drive & name it Dawn of War II
#5 Now Google & Download Phoenix SiD Extractor.
#6 Extract, go to "Instruments", choose "SID Unpacker","Scan a SIM-file (Browse to your already mounted ISO) and choose the "Dawn of War II_disk1.sim."
#7 Then Mark the "Dawn of War 2 Common Files.ncf" and "Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II English" (or any other language),click "Unpack" and choose the folder that you already created at you C drive.
#8 Wait until the white CMD window unpacks it all and closes (Don't touch anything until it automatically closes)
#9 Run "dxsetup" & "gfwlivesetupe" from the C:Dawn of War IIInstall folder
#10 Copy the files from Vitality folder on the mounted ISO and paste it to C:Dawn of War II
#11 Click xlive_start.exe to open the game
#12 Create Offline "Live Account" after intro
#13 Have fun
P.s. Dont listen BS from other users. This torrent works perfect !~

Vamvakidis (2013-04-04)

Sorry for the double post,but ..
If the above didn't work and you got the "bug splat error", do this.
#1 Renamed the file extensions from .001 to .r01 (until .r76) and extracted those files
#2 Created a folder "DoW II" in C: --> Program Files
#3 Mounted already extracted vty-0229.iso with Daemon Tools
#4 Explored the cloned drive and opened (as administrator) the file located in folder ViTALiTY --> install.exe
#5 Chose the folder "DoW II" as a directory I created earlier in C: --> Program Files for install.exe
#6 Waited until completion and install dxsetup & gfwlivesetupe which were now located in C: --> Program Files --> DoW II --> Install
#7 Copied the files locale.ini, Platform.dll, vitality.dll and xlive_start.exe from mounted ISO --> ViTALiTY to C: --> Program Files --> DoW II
#8 Started xlive_start.exe from C: --> Program Files --> DoW II
P.s. Again .. Dont listen BS, this torrent works !

nenadc (2013-04-20)

Game is working good and installing is easy if you follow instructions BUT to install it you need to DISABLE anti virus program if you have it... In Vitality folder, file INSTALL.EXE is Infected with trojan horse virus. Simply put game works fine and if you want to play cost it you get infected. Deal breaker to me but its your choice....

psichoticpanda (2013-04-27)

So the game works and it doesn't have a virus, but its a huge pain in the ass that is not worth the time or effort to install. Its riddled with problems and the installer is overly complicated call me a noob if you want but i like things to be simple, download speed was great was geting 3mbs. Take my advice with a grain of salt but just download one of the expansions they are standalone, work without issues and they add many features to the game, only would tell real 40k nerds to download simply for the story thats about it.

naderdavid1 (2013-07-15)

any1 getting the bug error thing,u need to set in the graphics the resolution to be the same as ur pc resolution
