So, I'm still getting a fatal scar error when playing the Kaurava campaign, idk if its just with IG, or what, but if i click the menu button, and then click resume game it allows me to play, but the words "FATAL SCAR ERROR - PAUSED etc.. " still stay on the screen .

Space Marines can't use the Demolition charges because it says requires Regimental Command

the chaos daemons have gone missing in both new races and campain

Single player - I got a Fatal Scar Error right off the bat of all places in the 4 player Map: Biffys Peril!

In campaign, thought i chosed Space Marines & ended up with IG, unless i made a mistake. Too tired staying up late...
When building the radar station for IG, its Invisible but once built, it appears solid normal.
I played on Easy for campaign & l o s t! It played like it was really hard (IG vs SoB)!

I discoveresd couple anomalies but have to double check because i played a previously saved game that may not count (enemy base had built & surrounded itself with 3 or 4 dozen infantry bunkers) and (Reaver Titan appeared extra taller & too close to the smog effect where you could barely see its head towards the sky. Afterwards it appeared to settle down to its normal hieght as it appeared ok). I already have a personal Camera.Lua i could use to see half of a large map if i wanted. Great for to see Titans that much better! I think its the best of the best camera angle offered by anybody else.

Will report back later this week if i find any more minor stuff, looks great so far...

Worked fine for me , it's either a corrupt file or a wrong install on your part

About Fatal Scar Errors:

PLEASE, whenever possible, include a "console screenshot". Otherwise fixing the scar error is almost a guessing game.

How to take a console screenshot:
The tricky part is getting the DoW game console to show up, specially if you don't have your keyboard set to English.

1) How to set up a keyboard shortcut to change your keyboard input language to English. (If you have an English keyboard, skip to step 2)
(The exact names are slightly different on Windows XP and will most likely differ on 8 as well, but you should be able to figure it out with a bit of logic).
- Go to Control Panel.
- Select Region and Language.
- Select the Keyboards and Languages tab.
- Click the Change keyboards... button.
- On the General tab, Click the Add... button and select English (United States), Keyboard, United States-International. Click OK
- Then select the Advanced Key Settings tab. Select your native language from the list and click Change Key Sequence...
- Tick the Enable Key Sequence checkbox and select the key sequence you want to use to switch to your native language from the options below.
- Repeat that procedure with the English keyboard settings, but be sure of using a different key sequence.
- Done! Now you can switch to English and back to your native language anytime. Use the respective key sequence so your keyboard input is English when you need to display the console.

2) If encountering a Fatal Scar Error, use the following key combination to show the console, which should be displaying the cause of the error. The key combination is Ctrl + Shift + ~
The ~ key is right below Esc, illustrated here.

3) Once a Fatal Scar Error occurred and the console is visible, take a screenshot and upload it so we can know what exactly triggered the error.
For reference, the DoW game console looks like this.

Thanks for reporting bugs!

Chaos Psyker requirement says "requires Mark of Khorne" when I have selected the mark of Khorne.

I get a crash to desktop when i was playing skirmish last night. there was 2 chaos players (i was one of them) one eldar and dark eldar aligned, 2 space marine players, and an ork player. halfway through the game, i was around tech 3 going to get 4, then the game mysteriously just crashes and im taken back to desktop, no soulstorm has stopped working pop ups, just the game crashes. i have never had this issue before with 1.71 and something new must be doing this.

My units don't target Zoantropes.

@harry: One detail you missed, was it an 8 player map? I tested every factions ai, no race crashed, and every single one of them got their tier iv stuff and super structure. It must be engine related. AI cannot be the cause...

I can't read minds.

Okay so the bug is still persisting. I'm getting a fatal scar error, but IF I click "Menu" in the top right, and then click "Resume Game" I can play. This is just in the Campaign. The scar error is saying this, (i can't take a screen shot at the moment, it isn't letting me capture Dawn of War Soulstorm)

SCAR - *ALERT:[string "DATA:Scar/WinConditions/ _apocalypse_rules.s..."]:24: attempt to compare nil with number.

SCAR - FATAL Scar Error! - Execution has been paused. Error calling init function 5 : ApocalypseRules.

Chaos Deamon Missing!
The Icons of IGs' 'Heavy Bolter Turret' Wall and 'Autocannon Turret' Wall is swapped.
Defensive Wall Turrets are aiming wrong direction but damaging right target.

Daemons have been removed for retooling.

I reinstalled the 1.72 patch & this time it installed over something i missed before! Now Biffys Peril 4 player map did not Scar error! Kool...Game runs great! By the way, those various IG aircrafts laid waste to the SOB BIG TIME! Glad those previous glitchs are gone now, thnx...

When it says "Nuke inbound", I have no idea which enemy that superweapon belongs to, and what kind of superweapon it is. Can you change it to the name of the superweapon and state the enemy who use it? I know it is not a bug, it's just my suggestion.

the game force shuts every time after defeating the orc (main base) in Kaurava campaign. Is it just me? (played as Tau)

Probably not a bug, but the manta is wayyy too small. oh, and where is the use for the secret code you guys gave out a couple months back?

I found a small issue with the Hell Drake. The unit works fine it is just its ingame (and possibly its ingame_disabled) icons show up as a pink box. I understand that this just means the icon is just not existent in the directory. Also, I don't know if this was intended or not, but your command build menu icons have been replaced with the standard. Don't know if this was intended or not, but I just wanted to put that out there as well.

Secondly, the text for basically all of the new material is messed up. Either its broken text code (i.e. $1004050 no range), its non existent at all, or it has chaos descriptions. Other than these few issues I never found anything major, and I know that these two issues are easily fixable. 1.72 patch overall is great, I would just like to know what each new ability and grenade does

There are pink boxes all over the place, most commonly with the run icon

does anyone else keep getting fatal SCAR errors with the zombie arena? i'm not sure if i'm actually playing it right (space marines as my race, all others are random, fixed starting location, fixed teams) is this a problem on my part with the options?

Mod install issue.

I thought I fixed that. :8

Anyways, most of the stuff is not complete yet besides the obvious fixes. We're still having trouble with installation and FAQ management, I require patients for the hotfix. It will probably 80% positive be posted tomorrow.

Reinstall with latest 1.72 release. You got it too early.

just to let you know the terminators in the space marine campaign dont see to have textures or coulours it has the moudle and then anything added is like a mesh ?? but everything seems to work fine on them
