Description

NOTE: This version was updated and re-uploaded a few hours after being released, so the .zip file containing the mod is called "Codex Edition 2.1.2" instead of "Codex Edition 2.1" for that reason. This was done because the initial upload was missing a file, causing some players who didn't have this file from a previous version of Codex Edition to crash. If you experienced this issue, please re-download this version; otherwise, you can ignore this note. As always, the changelog is available below, please follow the instructions of the "_README_CODEX_INSTRUCTIONS.txt" file included in the archive in order to properly install the mod.

This was missed in playtesting because this one missing file never changes between different versions, so it can be forgotten about, despite me checking multiple times when packaging. Murphy's law and all that...

I've noticed while playing Eldar, that Wraithguards/Blades don't show up at your base to recruit.

Theyre recruitable from the webway because there was no more t2 space in the base

¿how to install this on Macintosh?

Due to some of the required .dll injections and an .exe used to launch the mod, it is unlikely that the mod is usable with Mac in its current state. You can try extracting normally and running it through a custom launch option instead of the .exe, but beware that the army painter will crash with new factions, objects will disappear when you zoom out, and 8-player FFA won't work because the .exe and .dll injections are required in order to prevent those issues.

Do we need to download/install the performance and stability mod?

It is recommended, but read its instructions carefully because some aspects of it depend on how good your computer is.

Hi, I'm Jacob

I can't start the game. The file codex.exe disappear, when I'm trying to click on it (I used 7zip to extract files) . What's the problem? Guys your mod looks cool and that's why I'm a bit dissatisfied:(. Can you help me?

Do you plan, to add Dark Eldar or sisters of battle in the future?

Thank you for any respond

The only known instance of the .exe disappearing is it being falsely detected as a virus. As mentioned in the instructions, sometimes certain files might be detected as a virus. Add the entire Dawn of War II - Retribution folder to your antivirus exceptions before extracting the mod into the folder.

As for the new factions, its not out of the question, but we have no date yet.

It worked, thank you Kharos6

Now I have another problem - Why don't Necrons & Tau warriors speak and why do i not see the names of units, but numbers instead?

They only speak in the english version of the game. Same goes for the text - its only in english.

If you had issues with run as admin before then its likely that. Given the correct installation folder and the fact that it is usually the culprit for the behavior youre describing, I'm not entirely sure what could be causing it

Hello friends, greetings from Cuba, I download the mod and follow the instructions, I run the startcodex.exe and when I get the console, the error report of the game jumps out, is there a solution for that?. Very good mod I hope you can help the Cuban community to be able to play a masterpiece like this. Thank you in advance for any help. (Note) Game Q is cracked for obvious reasons but it works 100%

Unfortunately the mod does not work on cracked versions of the game, there were others who had the same issue; you're gonna have to get a hold of the Steam or GoG version somehow.

The game saves your last faction choice, just modify the player_cfg file under dawn of war ii retribution/settings, located in documents/my games and change the last used race ID to 0

During the game, after some time, the game displays this: failed to create dump file error 183.

When I tap on the faction Knights or the other added factions is there a game crash. Play on 2.1.9. Is there a fix for that ? or an Update soon ?

Reply Good karma Bad karma0 votes

That means the exe isnt injecting the dll files, which can be due to antivirus, a pirated copy, or the game being on GoG, the last of which is an actual concern that may be fixed but for now use a steam copy

How do I remove the limit on the units? Being limited to 5 squads is severely hindering to one who likes the mod, but wants bigger battles.
