Content/graphics update for the 2.x series and last release for HW2 Classic. Comes as a full English version. 'Read more' for more info.
Third and final instalment in the 2.x series. This version re-introduces the Hiigaran/Vaygr as playable races and adds the Bentusi as a playable race (Alpha stage). Also contains several graphic/fx updates (lens flare/QEffectsGL/HD Cathedral of Kadesh Background/Retextured Taiidan Flagship etc.) and a new gameplay mode (Survival). Full patchnotes are in the readme.
(!) This is the final release of FX:Commander for HW2 Classic! See our Remastered page/workshop for the RM version.
Release Notes
- This release is in English (installation included). There are no additional files that need to be downloaded. Special thanks to leaf & liuruoyang1995 for translating everything.
- (!) There are several very important things to pay attention to in this release . Please read the FX v2.2.1 readme included in the archive. This readme also contains the changelog/patch notes for this version.
- Everything else that is usually posted on this page (Installation instructions, notes on custom map support / custom parameters) has been included in the archive as well for convenience.
Enjoy and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Regards,

P.S. The HD Cathedral of Kadesh background is found on the "(6p) sarum dust clouds" map (forgot to rename it).
Since the map uses lens flare of the FXMod, it can't be used in other mods without modifying it. You can try contacting Unlimited_X if you want permission to use it in other mods. The FX .big file was also updated with additional security to prevent theft.
Getting a crash on starting a skirmish game.
EDIT: Found the issue. Had a badge on from another mod.
Yaaaas!
After 1 day of v2.21 I am enjoy playing vaygr again but i like to ask about units and abilities.
1= I like to know about the emp weapon for scouts will come back one day.
2= The vaygr FW frigate can stop mines but the only units who have the mine corvette is turanic raiders so we get the other mine corvettes back for hiigaran, vaygr.
3= Is hiigaran corvettes getting a makeover?
I can't wait to see this on the remastered version.
Having an issue, every time I install this mod, I suddenly get a CTD, and the access violation issue.
2.1 works, but this one is causing the issue.
Ok, uninstalling the mod makes the vanilla game work again, must be just the mod, don't know why though.
Other mods may conflict with the FXMod.
Try launching as admin and if it doesn't work you can consider re-installing in the order of HW2 -> 1.1 patch -> FXMod
already did that multiple times, oh well.
Also, is this mod gonna be coverted for the remastered release? if so, i'm gonna have to patient and wait for that version then.
great work though, I love the taidaan ships look.
It may be the QEffectsGL plugin . It may cause some graphic glitches. If so, please delete the two files below in Homeworld2\Bin\Release : QeffectsGL.ini
,opengl32.dll
And FX MOD will be coverted for the remastered release.
Ok, that worked, thanks.
Hi
I have a fresh install of HW2 with the patch. For some reason, the game keeps putting me in windowed mod that is on my left side of the screen. I cannot change the resolution or go from windowed to full screen. I also cannot see my cursor at the bottom of the screen as well as the right side. Any help would be nice!
Hi,
Read the instructions for running HW2 with custom parameters that is included in the file. HW2 doesn't support many modern resolutions so you'll need to manually add those.
Hope this helps.

try to sign in 1st,
hi i have a problem i install HW2 on my computer before, i have to re-install w7 a few days ago, and i wait for this version to install the game again but, now i see the black screen and send me right to the desk, somebody knows what is wrong with that?
See liuroyang's reply above, as well as the readme:
"It may be the QEffectsGL plugin . It may cause some graphic glitches. If so, please delete the two files below in Homeworld2\Bin\Release :
QeffectsGL.ini
,opengl32.dll"
i don't have those files in release....and i dont install the MOD yet cuz i cant open the game I just have the 1.1v ready and it didnt work
I think it's something about the drivers of your graphics card. Try downgrade it, especially if you are using an AMD graphics card.
That's odd.
If you re-installed Win7 recently I would uninstall all HW2 related files and reinstall in this order:
HW2 -> 1.1 patch
You might also want to run HW2 as admin.
how you install the mod with the remastered release? i got it to wok but when i launched a player vs cpu match the game quit after loading lol
EDIT: Nevermind I got it to work, It was the Bentusi or Kadesh as CPU that made it crash, will there be a fix and a working Bentusi CPU?
Can you share the details of how you got it to work?
Regarding your issue, putting Bentusi on a CPU will make it crash. Bentusi is only in alpha stage and was included as a demo/test race.
Could you upload this on steamworkshop for remastered(HW2classic) ?
ok so i installed this normal. and i fire it up, no sound no anything but visuals. ?????? whatd i do wrong? and how do i fix it?
the mod have lag, i don't know why but i think its not my computer capacity because the other versions of the FX mod goes well on my computer but i think i don't well installed the mod, can some body help installing the mod please?
