Welcome to Dawn of War II - Eternal!
![text break]()
This is a full installer for our public beta version of Dawn of War II - Eternal, in a state that we consider good enough to allow you to all experience our creation two years in the making (admittedly, with very ramped up development in the last year).
The installer DEFAULTS to a C drive installation of Retribution and cannot auto-detect where you have it installed. You must manually point the installer at your Retribution install if it is installed in an alternate location.
Launch the mod by doing one of the following:
1. Use the shortcut placed on your desktop.
2. Use the .bat file 'Eternal_launch' in your Retribution directory to run the game.
3. Add -modname Eternal to the launch properties of Dawn of War II - Retribution on Steam.
Consider joining the Eternal discord server to find people to play with and submit any bugs you find, or to let us know your feedback and suggestions for the mod's future! We would love to hear from you.
If you encounter any sound bug issues (sound cuts out followed by a game crash), the first thing you should attempt to do is limit the game's framerate to either 58 or 60 in your graphics card's control panel. 58 is the 'tick rate' that Dawn of War 2 runs at, so to speak, and is technically the best option to prevent the crash - 60 is the rate that I personally use and have encountered few issues with, but your results may vary. If the bug continues, we can provide only limited technical support and fixes - we cannot guarantee anything and it is not an issue related to Eternal itself.
We hope you enjoy the mod! Please consider joining the discord listed above and let us know what you think!

Hi. I can't play the mod, there is no a .exe and even using -dev modname "Eternal" (i think that was the line) in Steam the game still launch in Vanilla pls help
Hii! Could you come over to the Eternal discord server? Then we'll help you out there!
-modname Eternal is the line you want to put into your launch options!
-dev is a line used for, as you might have guessed, development or debug stuff, and you don't want "" <- quotations around Eternal as it will literally look for a mod named "Eternal" (with quotations). So just try -modname Eternal - i'll also put that in the description of this file download for future reference, apologies about that
EDIT: oh my god i forgot to add it to the readme...uploaded it again with a fixed readme XD
Hey, its very good mod, i just want to ask you, how i add -modname eternal in the file, its in dow2.exe or in
eternal_launch.bat? And can i ask again how i add it? Im sorry if my english is bad
Edit: nevermind i found it how to do it but still have problem i always get "crash report" message, any help?
Come over to the Eternal server, and we'll help out!
thank you for working on this you are a godsend.
THANKS DEV!

The new space marine bolter firing fx looks jank, don't like it too much
best EULA ever lol
You get bonus points for noticing!! 😂 The devs are awesome aren't they?
Amazing mod! I can't stop playing
Do you think you can get Y'narri in the game? I know its a long shot but Eldar rule. Necrons cool too but I remeber the modder who tried last time ran into problems
Hi there! You can come over to the Eternal discord! There you can give your opinions there directly!
To be candid, its very highly possible (assuming the devs can make the models for them). Celt is a huge fan of Eldar, so its possible! Just make sure to pitch your ideas in the discord server! Cheers!!
Thankyou I think i just might do that
launch using eternal_launch.bat
I have this notification from Windows Defender about a Trojan in the Installer
Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml
Hi there. We would like to reassure that its a false flag positive from Windows Defenders. The devs and myself use other anti-virus software, and Eternal doesn't give us false positives. If you need further help or clarification, come over to our server!
Do you already know at which version your mod will have campaign support?
Hi Fry! Honestly? Giving a very straight forward answer, it must be after V1.00 onwards. Its way too early, and the mod is just currently in beta so far.
Additionally, modding campaign is a very different beast compared to PVP. So, the technical difficulty of doing so poses a challenging roadblock. Just me tempering expectations and what can be realistically done.
is this mod work with cracked version?
Hello, Eternal does not work with the cracked version of the game. Only the official Steam release.
Pressing the "R" button does not enable auto squad reinforcement. This bug is in the original game as long as I can remember. Maybe you could fix it?
Hi, I think the bug has been fixed for V0.5.4. Could you check again? Also, feel free to drop by the discord server. We're more active there and you can ask us directly!
Sure do love the Bee movie, read the whole thing in a jerry sienfield voice.
XD
Is there a way to install this in Mac os? I can't run the .exe
Hi there! The installer currently doesn't work on Mac. The devs will try to find a solution for the problem. Feel free to drop by in the future, and let's hope they found a solution by then!
excellent mod for dawn of war II. I haven't played a mod like this for a long time that completely erases the flaws of the game (of which there are a lot). Kudos to the people who work on this mod and I hope they continue like this. the only complaint is that there are few units in certain races (chaos, orks)
everything else is perfect and brutally big greetings

Only 3 factions are released so far (space marine, astra militarium, and eldar) chaos sm, ork etc are not implemented yet tht is why you are not seeing any changes with them
Yep! Guest is right! The rest are coming soon! Stay tuned for more!! (CHAOTIC LAUGH XD)
Now thats what dow2 was missing. being able to play company of heroes but with More Biger enemys. 10/10
There's one bigger enemy in the works. You'll see what that means in the next upcoming patch! XD Enjoy.
just installed it and it looks amazing
Thanks, and glad you're enjoying!!
"The mod cant be that fun."
The mod:
Oh yeah man, this mod is like crack on 40k. Its just sooo good 40k rts fun! The DOW3 that we all needed.
someone knows how to solve the problem that some units or objects have numbers instead of names, please help me.
Hi Gabarmodl,
That issue is due to the UCS file not being present (its just a file with strings that state what those numbers are and turns them into their actual names). Could you come over to the Eternal server so we can help you out there better, else reinstall the mod again.
Not working
Hi, come over to the discord server and we can help you out!
Hello my game lobby resoultion is not fixed 1240x1024 but in game its fixed.how can i change ?
Hi there. Could you come over to the discord server, and we'll help you out there?
Can you do, Dead bodies stay???
This will increase the atmosphere of the game many times over.
Hi Konsul
Unfortunately, the reason dead bodies have been more or less reduced heavily is because it is memory heavy. More memory used, the higher chance it will crash the game. This helps make the game more playable as I understand. Hope this explains!
Is there a way to independently increase the time corpses remain on the map? If so, I would appreciate an explanation on how to do it!
You'd have to go into the ebps of most units to do that and modify the time it takes for the bodies to stay. However, even if you did do that and release this mod, your version won't be compatible with Eternal's official version yeah.. so this made it clear.
I hope that in this mod they also put Last Stand with new weapons both melee and ranged, relics with abilities, new armor, and much more as well as new map, in short, a Last Stand remastered and improved from its predecessor of 2017 as a mod!!!!
Unfortunately, LS is not what we have in mind to mod, as there is already the Forgotten Emerald mod!
