Hello Community,

this is a copy of my post in the technical issues thread. But i get no response there, so i try it here.


i saw this mod on youtube and instantly fell in love with it. But soon it broke my heart due i dont get it to run.

I followed the youtube instruction video twice. I did it twice due it didnt run.

I have Soulstom by steam. I installed the UA 1.8.7 Version. then manually the tyranid mod. then that core thingy for steam users.

Modmanager 1.3 says all right ( i even installed that ui mod thing just to have all green.

From begin due all i tried it happens always the same: The game starts, the UA mod screen comes pretending to load, and then set back to desktop, no error message.


Due my searching for a solution i found that warnings.log and their i found somkething strange:

22:11:55.81 MOD -- Warning: Failed to map archive 'W40k\W40kDataGOTY.sga'.

Point is, i dont have the GOTY Version, and so i dont have that file. I havent found a hint this mod only works with the GOTY Version, so, can anyone of you release my of the emperors banishment?

Try reinstalling Soulstorm completely? Also, I would install the other mods (like Tyranids mod) before installing Apocalypse, just to make sure they all work correctly.
