Found a damn good solution :

DO NOT USE : DoW Mod Manager 1.3 !!!!


  1. Open DoW Soulstorm using the normal Soulstorm.exe file
  2. Click on Game Manager
  3. Choose UA: The Hunt Begins.

Since this solution I had NO Sync Errors and NO Crash Errors !!!!

This has helped everyone I know. Even players who only have 4 GB RAM in their computers.

FINALLY - We can play every time, every Map, every Faction,,,, I am so Happy !!!

I hope this will help more people !!! FOR THE EMPEROR :-)

It's crazy... But me and a friend (he has 4 GB RAM only - and I Have 8) played the Map : Good old Battlefield !!!

against 2 x Orks, 1 x Chaos SM and 1x Eldar on Hard (the third one), we even built the biggest Titan...

and BOOM --- NO Sync Error, NO Crash & NO lag at all !!!

Even other Maps where we used to get crashes in the middle of the game, No crashes anymore.

Thank sharing it worked for me. Using Mod Manager 1.4 often lag halfway kick me to desktop.

Now no more such problems anymore smooth game throughout.

What we now found out is that : starting the game with the original soulstorm.exe (after successful 4GB-Patch and starting the UA-The Hunt Begins ingame using the Game-Manager) the game crashes less. It seems that the DOW-Mod-Manager 1.3 is causing something here.

But still the main problem are

  • Using the dificulty level over "Hard", as soon as we use "Expert" and higher the game crashes.
  • Some maps dont work properly, especially the external created or modded ones. The size of the map doesn't matter here.
  • But also when taking an external created or modded map and choosing 2 or more enemies, after the enemy starts to attack it starts to lag and between me and a friend from a different location playing online we have experienced that when comparing the "GameTimer" the time starts to drift apart and it stats with 1 minute and after 30 minutes gameplay we suddenly have a 5-10 minute difference. The computer that is up to date is the one hosting. And this is not being caused by the internet.

I am still hoping that the developers, and I THANK YOU A LOT FOR THIS MOD - UNBELIEVABLE WORK, are going to get this issue solved.

Dear developers, I am one of the people who would even pay 20 - 30 € for this mod, so think about this, i bet lots of people would do this.

Yes the game crashes less or should I say later in the match. I usually play a 4v4 tau bridge map or howewer is it called (I put 2 ai vs me and a i,other slots disabled,standard difficulty) and it crashes every time.Should I even try to play it with 4gb ram.

What exactly is the difference between the normal Soulstorm.exe and whatever the mod uses? I've been using the standard .exe and it crashes all the time. Though that may be related to me using Windows 10...
