Description
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN BOTH THE PACKAGE "README" FILE AND THE POST-INSTALL "CODEX EDITION - README" FILE TO AVOID PROBLEMS! Your antivirus is likely going to flag the installer as a virus; this is a false positive, just make an exception for it in your respective antivirus software. The Performance & Stability Mod is highly recommended, and must be installed if you wish to play with others who also have it installed. The changelog is available below.
+++V3.0 CHANGELOG+++
GLOBAL
- Added Adeptus Mechanicus faction
- All factions now start with a builder unit
- Added base-building - at least 5 buildable structures per faction, with some having more - these are and will remain production, utility, and defensive structures; NOTE: the mod will *not* go the route of "research" structures that unlock wargear or upgrades as can be seen in dow 1 - i.e teaching eldar how to run fast again by "unlocking" fleet of foot- it does not fit with the vision of Codex
- Added new maps, some of which are from the Maps of War pack 3
- Implemented additional AI improvements
- Added many new voice lines for modded units
- Added game timer on the top left corner
- Added codex edition splash screen upon launching the game
- Output of upgraded power node is now equal to 2x generators placed, with generators now being buildable through engineers instead of power nodes
- Buildable power generators no longer provide shared power resource with allies - each player needs their own
- Many "horde" expendable squads no longer appear in the squad tab in order to avoid clutter
- Scaled up most factions' vehicles to be more lore accurate in size
- Further polished various UI elements
- Reorganized the messy vanilla in-match UI composition around global abilities to make it easier to read

- Added more unique portraits and icons
- Fixed certain mines crashing the game when deployed
- Fixed mines working inconsistently
- Increased psychic damage by 30% against infantry units
- Changed certain units having armour type vet_carapace or scout_carapace to the next closest appropriate armor type due to neither of the former existing in weapon damage tables, resulting in defaulted damage received to 1

- All terminator units can now retreat
- Added credits to developers and contributors to the mod into the credits movie found under settings
- Updated injector and added new dll files that fix various issues, including the crash caused by switching to mods that don't have certain new races by pointing to a mod-specific playercfg file located in the game's install directory

Emperor blessed you, for you work))
i read the changelog, holy cow! you made such a great mod with so huge changes, i will test the mod one day but form what i read is so cool!
So after giving this to try i have to honestly say its phenomenal! Gives you that DOW 1 style of gameplay with updated graphics and i love it especially the Tau and necron additions. I havent tried them all just yet but its badass! Please tell me theres plans for more factions in the future?
Yes, plans for the release of the Adeptas Sororitas, Dark Eldar, Renegade Guard, Death Watch. No promises, just intention, hope and passion.
incredible news that, best of luck to this mod team
GREAT!
masterpiece
cant wait to try this out
World eater please
i cant play my dow2 after i dl it can someone help please ty
Read the readme.
Incredible work on this mod, the content is fantastic, thanks for creating a warhammer 40k RTS the fans actually wanted.
"Failed to start dow2" is what I'm getting.
You didn't install the mod properly into the game directory then. If you join the discord someone will guide you through each step, but really just double check you've installed it in the right game directory.
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Please tell me why my buildings on the Tau and Necrons have black textures?
As the readme says, you need to set your texture quality to max.
well i have to say this looks amazing about to download it now glad to see not just Dow 1 gets some fantastic mods keep up the good work bud
also i would like to ask will there be more variants for the guardsmen and space marines like hydras and attack bikes Ect ?
Of course, just no deadlines for that yet
fantastic and just one another question will more hero's be added as well just so hyped up because of this mod i was losing hope for dow2
of course! we're working on 3.1 right away :) Traitor Guard are next, alongside more fixes and whatnot
Sweet well I wish you and your team all the best you have made me a very happy gamer and is there a discord I can join to keep up to date with the mod ?
yes: Discord.gg
Thank you just joined much appreciated
one last thing are titans Gunna becoming in as well ?
potentially, nothing for certain yet
tanks are getting stuck at base, cant move them after they are developed.
playing as space marines
Certain tanks require role assignment before they can be used, like the SM support vehicle which can be chosen to either be a vindicator or whirlwind
great mod
Should I have the installed DoW 2 game for this?
Because it says failed to open dow2 when i try to play
That means you install3d it into the wrong directory. You need to install the mod into dawn of war 2 retribution, you dont need the previous two dawn of war 2 installments
if I have a old computer with only CPU graphics card (Intel i5-4590 CPU, Intel® HD Graphics 4600), should I use PERFORMANCE & STABILITY MOD?
I used to play other games using Vulkan which call Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War, I can't even open the game due of Vulkan don't supported Intel® HD Graphics 4600
I Worry that using PERFORMANCE & STABILITY MOD might broke my game or even worse.
nothing bad will happen if you try to use it, worst case your game wont launch - i suggest still using the other parts of the performance mod, but deleting d3d9.dll since that's the part that converts to vulkan, everything else is fine
You guys misspelled Sternguard Veteran unit. In game it says sterngaurd. The text blurb got it right though.
Also, thanks for this mod. Its freaking awesome. The tank production queue for Leman Russ caught me by surprise. Having to choose what variant it is to be while it parked unmovable at the base really emphasize the micromanage element of this mod.
Addendum: Grey Knights Commander got a bug with his summon Dreadnought. He can exceed the limit. The Dreadnought at the base will greyed out when there are two Dreads on the field, but the GK commander can still summon more and more.
Also, the Dreads have some bug on its skill and wargear option. Ground pound vanished after upgrading to any weapon, but some other Dreads still have it after upgrading.
Thanks! Also noted on the bug, will fix!
Possibly another bug. CSM Tzeenth can train a lot of Terminator units. Does this not have cap?
Also the CSM Vindicator tanks. I can trained 6 of them.
I just wanted to say thank you for creating this mod. I never had a moddb account and I made one just to say i'm overwhelmed by the quality and effort that has gone into this. I have followed and hope to see any further updates.
Thanks again, you're awesome!
Thank you :) Feel free to drop a review if you've got time!
Review left!

The mod does not start with the "failed to start dow2". Tell me what to do? I reinstalled the game and the mod.
THat just means you haven't installed the mod into the correct game directory. You can jump on discord and we can guide you, but just make sure you've actually got the mod installed where the game is installed.

hello!
public lobby is empty... even if it shows like 40ppl are in game, could it be because of the ''performance and stability mod'' ? i dont want to belive nobody is creating lobbys, i have checked quite often.
thanks!
I installed correctly but, most of the chapters of space marines are called $13370100 No Range, this is the same for Grey Knights and some of the chapters of Chaos Space Marine. I can play but that's bit annoying, can you help me?
The only known conflict like that is with destroyer40k mod, if you check your gameassets/locale/english folder, see which .ucs files you have there
Hello, I have just one .ucs files and it is DOW2Codex.ucs. I am spanish I don't know if there's a conflict between languages.
Yeah you wanna move the DOW2Codex.ucs to your spanish folder then, it'll be in english but unfortunately we have no spanish translation yet.
Thank you so much.
