Do you have to use this version for Steam?
The auto installer is not working.
The installer may be pointing to the CD installation directory by default; make sure you've selected the correct file path for your copy.
Yup, you're right. Thank you for helping, and thanks for this awesome mod.
I have an issue, all of the files appear to be there however whenever I try and open the scenario editor or a campaign, the game crashes.
I cant even open the game i must have done something wrong

I had a similar issue, try uninstalling then reinstalling, then adding mods. It worked for me.

x2.exe crashes instantly with "-has stopped working" dialogue, configurator button doesn't open anything. Please halp. have now tried installer and archive with clean reinstalls and it's definitely been in the correct path each time. win7 x64
To be clear, game launches fine without mod, as well as old version of the mod.

Hi,
First, thanks for such an amazing mod!
Unfortunately, scenario editor does not appear to be working on my computer. I am using a GOG edition, and I manually installed the contents. The game starts normally, but when I start scenario editor it loads, then sits on "creating scenario" indefinitely. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice. New stuff added, some stuff from 1.0.1 missing but no great loss. Still had to track down and add shadows to some of the capital ships. Didn't like the new Star Destroyer so replaced it with the one from 1.0.1, but all in all I've been having a blast. Game seems to crash right after Zann (Computer) builds a Fortress. No biggy. Would love to see my infiltrator added. Tired of adding it myself. A++ on this one.
