I can't seem to get this working. I've attempted installing through both the mod manager and manually, used new and old variants of the Tyrnaids 0.53 mod, even started with a totally clean Soulstorm directory.

This doesn't appear to be working barring some special steps that have potentially been omitted.

Cylarne after that ridiculos youtube video you launch this mess and still think people will believe that the real talent was you?
You should have swallowed your pride and give your team the credit they deserve, if you follow them you can see that they are doing amazing work,

I figured out why its not working, you need to install Tyranids v0.5b2 and not v0.5b3.

You can find Tyranids v0.5b2 here:

I added ability to download a fixed version of UA 1.89 to DoW Mod Manager!
* Delete all files and folders related to Ultimate Apocalypse, Tyranids and Chaos Daemons
* Start DoW Mod Manager
* Press "Download Mod..."
* Let it update ModList
* Download fixed UA and unpack it in your Soulstorm folder

Man this really is hard to watch. I've been playing Ultimate Apocalypse for half the time I've been playing DoW and it's hard to play the base game without everything UA adds. But the absolute state of the mod, the now disbanded team and Cylarne really is just so disappointing, such a devastating era after 10 years of development all because pride and drama.

Edit/Update: I have managed to get the game somewhat running under this patch. By using older version fo both the Tyranid and Chaos Demons mods and totally removing them from the UA 1.89 zip I was able to launch the game. How ever a new unsolvable issue has appeared in that this update has completely and utterly broken textures for both scenery, buildings and units. Everything is a blurry untextured mess or are just pink place holder cubes. This update is entirely broken and moderators should probably remove it as it very clearly does not work and only serves to break the game.

Fatal AI error. Can confirm this release is totally broken. Don't know how someone wouldn't notice some of these issues either. Cylarne needs to get some sleep or something

If you get crash it is the Tyranids mod 053b. Working with 52b.!!

K so I got this working...turns out the Tyranid mod updated so the version the installer links you to is the wrong one...you have to use 052b like some other people have said.

That being said...one thing I've noticed the Win button for Chaos Space Marines is ****** up. It killed all of my own units and buildings as well as the enemies...I don't think this is intended behaviour Chaos Marines should be able to tolerate a warp storm... and the game didn't count this as a win.

Well, after being playing this game for years, it's a shame it had been rendered so poorly. With this said, I still congratulate Cylarne and the (now fired) team that made all of this possible. I don't care if it's buggy or messy, or anything. I play it because it's still a fine mod, and a funny one. I love that somehow this project hasn't been lost over that so called "pride". It has a lot of issues, yes, but that means that maybe in some time we migh have an even better mod. That's all I care about right now. Keep doing your stuff.

THIS THING DOESNT WORK AT ALL. PLEASE HELP.
So, in the instructions for install, half of the things are missing. The UA mod wont work without Tyranids, FreeUI and SS_points (not the UA version) - these three things are not mentioned at all, without them, i cant even start up the mod. Why is this the case? Why not make a complete guide for install, why omit half the things? Do the authors of this mod enjoy making it harder for everyone?
Nevermind. When i disregard the install guide and proceed to do what the software tells me to - i.e. add the three other mods which are listed in the mod manager as "required" - i can start the mod but it doesnt work. It shows the UA splash screen and then the game dies. Tried it a year ago, tried the newest version now - the same - nothing. Only time this worked was 2+ years ago. What the hell? Why is this such a mess?

For all those whose game crashes on startup:

CHECK YOUR VERSION OF TYRANIDS! :)

This UA version is not compatible with 0.5b3 - you need 0.5b2.
Good Luck. ;)
