Ultimate Apocalypse is a mod for Dawn of War Soulstorm, which aims to create the most diverse possible unit and faction selection within the confines of the original DOW engine. We strive to create the most engaging and balanced Warhammer 40,000 game that we can, without sacrificing the fun factor. From hordes of Orks to the towering Titans, you can always find a new way to play UA. We invite all of you to join us on our Discord server to keep up with the development of the mod!
I've made some screenshots today, testing the latest version 1.86 in order to squish some potential overlooked bugs.
For the post-processing prettyness I am using the Reshade.me injector.
1.86 should be available this Tuesday the 16th if everything goes well on testing. But don't nail me to that date since delays are always possible!
Have a nice day!

I was once playing this mod and had set up a camp with the Space Marines, two bottlenecks were leading to my base and I had only the orks left to defeat
I thought itd be interesting to see how long I could hold off the orks without attacking their main base
I ended up having a 4 hour long skirmish fight of just holding off the greenskins at those two points. the entire area was nothing but green corpses
Ah good times
Since my play style is just sitting at the base as much as possible and building a big army that's like my every game. :D
the Orks got a lot of the map while I was sitting around, but I was so dug in they never could break through
they kept pumping out Shoota boyz and I kept blasting them back
Which map was it?
Underexposed screenshots.
It does look pretty boss when you increase 50 for both Brightness and Contrast though.
Yeah unfortunately DoW reduces brightness as soon as you capture a screenshot. It looked brighter in-game D:
And i forgot to do the color corrections :/
God damnit, where is my DoW disc? I have to play this beauty again!
Your screen is very dark. :p But nice screenies!
Pray tell me how to use ReShade to achieve this level of neatness, this looks too good and I think my pc CAN handle it.....it'd be pretty neat
Check the link on my profile out here! Moddb.com the .zip file contains two files and a README. Drop the other two files into your Soulstorm root folder and that should do the job!
Just remember to not use ReShade in multiplayer since the additional .dll may cause you to desync or not even beeing able to see games in the lobby. Use ReShade only for singleplayer!
Oh...I noticed ReShader is only compatible with OpenGL 4.3 minimum and I have a 3.0 compliant GPU (a ****** old GeForce GT 9500...)
Guess I can't handle the neat graphics :(
mhmh,i droped the files in Soulstorm root folder but the game wont start?i mean the soulstorm.exe is running in task manager,and steam says taht the game is running but it is not.

Yeah unfortunately reshade seem to refuse to work with STEAM Soulstorm. Game will will be started as a process but never launched properly and need to be killed via task manager.
I was using the ReShade shaders other Games on STEAM such as Civilisation and it worked! Seems like an STEAM Soulstorm exclusive issue.
I was using ReShade with my second DoW installation that I am using for modding which was installed classically from disc.
I am loving the mod so keep up the great work :D
