Brace for impact. Release day is here, after almost 5 years of work, Apex Studios finally brings you the first release of Covenant at War.
This release, as stated in the previous update is a SPACE SKIRMISH ONLY beta version, including both the UNSC and Covenant sides. There will be regular patches following this first release to fix any issues found and add plenty of new content.
Install Instructions:
It's easy. In fact, even if you forgot it, you could look it up easily, either here or with the included read me file. You only need to extract the downloaded zip file into your Star Wars: Empire at War - Forces of Corruption directory, copy the shortcut file to your desktop and change its target to reflect your installation path.

I see this every time with EaW mods for Steam.
1. Install mod as usual to the steam version of Empire at War
2. Open Steam, right click on the game in the list and choose properties.
3. Click Set Launch options
Then use
sweaw MODPATH=Mods\ModName for EaW
swfoc MODPATH=Mods\ModName for FoC
ModName can be swapped out for any EaW or FoC mod, so in this case it would be
swfoc MODPATH=Mods\CaW
No offence, but with a little bit of research you could've found this yourself.
ya but no one answered his question and still cant get it can you be more detailed
Ok listen can someone explain how this target and start in crap work because I copy and pasted the earlier posted directories and it still did not work and I'd really not only like to get this mod to work but another mod that I'm have the same problem with

Make sure you use the quotation marks "" and if it still doesn't work we also included a batch file which seems to work flawless.

no offence to the person who made this but can u please make the install instruction a little bit more clear, i have no idea what i'm suppose to do to play this, it says i have to move something to somewhere, and edit something. . . can somebody please just give me idiots guide to installing mods. . ie. what is my ''game directory'' ect ect
There is only an ART folder included when I try to download it and there is no shortcut or batch file, I made my own and it still didn't work.
Sounds like a corrupted download, because there is supposed to be way more than just an ART folder. Try downloading it again from this or a different source (see the comment section here).
The file you have selected (Caw-FirstRelease.zip) is not available via any mirrors. Please check back shortly as our servers update every 5 minutes.
Why can't i download it?

Check the second page of comments on the summary/homepage of this mod. A user called 'Ardentprayer' posted a very helpful installation manual for steam users.
This is doing my head in!
I've managed to launch the game, and it's appeared with a UNSC Fleet in the top-left corner, facing a Covenant fleet in the lower-right corner, with the logo in the upper-right corner (I'm assuming this is what should be happening.)
Barely a second passes, and I get an error message:
xml parse error File .\Data\XML\GUIDialogs.xml: file has syntax errors, see log file
What the hell is going on?
I've seen this error come by very often and the ironic part of it is that we never touched the GUIDialogs.xml file. Going by your comment, I assume you already tried re-installing both Foc and the mod?
