Back To School Edition, now comes with more addictive features!
Extract all files to your Homeworld2\Data folder (with WinRAR 5.0 or higher version) and read the PDF manual for installation.
Main changes from 4.1:
Imroved UI -- the new modernized UI is very beautiful and makes Homeworld 2 look like a completely new game! Sharper fonts, hi-res icons, aero effects, less distraction, simply means yes!
The original blue sensor sphere is now replaced with a less hideous palette, so you can game all night in your dorm room more comfortably.
New maps (including some based on HWR Complex).
New exotic ships from crates (models from HWR Complex).
New fancy appearance for many subsystem modules (models from HWR Complex).
Missile system overhaul. Vaygr heavy missiles now fly much faster and can hit targets more accurately, helping improve game performance as well.
Perforation pods are actually useful now.
Special weapons (Viper Missiles etc.) can now automatically target the super ultra capital ships from endgame crisis.
Improved multiplayer support -- fixed a few things that could cause out of sync error. Choose simple map and low unit cap and you should be able to finish a match with your roomate.
Some campaign bug fixes.
Enriched Easter Eggs. There will be a firework show at midnight on New Year's Eve!
A very welcome surprise woot
like your unicorn icon :D
Been playing 4.1 a lot the past few days, eager to see how the new look compares. You do a great job with the mod, thanks for the hard work.
BEST FX OF ALL TIME OF HW2 MODDING!1
But I've got CTD **** again... Now on m09.
Here's the logs:

I need to see your Hw2.log after crash (you sent me ErrorLog.txt). Also describe in details what was happening before crash.
A, that one...
Here it is:
Drive.google.com
**** starts when Drednaught docked with shipyard (when countdown is on between 10-5 min remaining).
And before crash was a short freeze (my HDD sound like "TRRRR") and then CTD.
Is this crash repeatable? If so, go to your Homeworld2\Bin\Profiles\Profile1\Campaign\ASCENSION folder and send me your persist9.lua so I can test it
How interesting. :D
Drive.google.com
Thanks for the file. I was able to replicate it and it should be fixed now. Re-download the updated version and see if you have the problem solved.
Roger that. Let's blow some fishes...
My GIGANTIC thanks for your work, all problems solved.
Now I can safely scream when play: "WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON WITH THIS SHIPS - THEY BLOWING UP ONE BY ONE!1"
You are welcome! 🤣
Thanks for the great mod, i'm new to all of this, and now just learning how to play this mod. Does anybody know, how to make it run on the multicore cpu?)
I think it's a game engine limit. The core functions all run on one single thread. Even HWR cannot use multicore.
Amazing mod. since version 1.5 when i started playing untill now. you've done so much, wonder how harder you can push the engine?
I can push it until your PC melts into a lava pancake.
Hmm..btw for some reason the endgame crisis ship seem Untargetable and all it could for smaller ships is to auto attacked but not for bigger ships
They are untargetable because they don't belong to any player in the map (they actually belong to player -1). If you are under attack, however, you can set all your ships to aggressive tactic to auto retaliate. Or, if you got ballz, you can try to capture them!
Yeah i did managed to capture with a cost of 350+ ships, but the moment i got this close to fully capture it, the game crash because of too many **** around xD
Is the issue from Version 3.9/4.0 fixed yet where the hiigaran endgame research menu can crash the game?
I'm genuinely curious as I have a reasonably high specced machine (i7-2600, 8gb ram, GTX 1050 Ti).
Not tested, probably not, because the cause of that crash was unknown.

I followed the whole instruction, it crash but i cant find the Hw2.Log in Bin\Release folder.
That's impossible. There is always Hw2.log in the Bin\Release folder of HW2 even without running any mod, unless you are not using HW2. Are you sure you are in the Bin\Release folder of HW2 instead of HWRM?
