FX v1.81 is the most recent version and adds several noticeable changes compared to v1.72. Click on 'read more' for more details and installation instructions.
FX v1.81 is the first English release in the v1.8x series, which is centered about code development. Naturally, v1.81 is no exception. This version features several tweaks to the Kadeshi and Progenitors, as well adds several new abilities to certain ships for all races. Some descriptions in the research or production tree show the usual '$3354' and some abilities have a few bugs but this will be fixed in the next version, v1.82, which is the debug version for all errors found in v1.81. Enjoy!
Installation:
1. Download the file
2. Open the .ZIP and run the .EXE
3. Select 'English Version'. As for directory, ensure you have your /Homeworld2 folder selected and NOT your /Homeworld2/Data folder.
4. Run the shortcut and enjoy the game.

Looks nice...worth downloading:3
looks interesting..... DL right now. and 100mb it's not much :D. i think it worths waiting 8-9min to download... keep up the good work you did so far guys :D
Well just played it(i soaked for almost 3 hours) exept bad english in mision descriptions and in game talk...its great:D i almost forgot how fun was playing pirates;) eh good homeworld 1 days...
Yeah Homeworld 1 was a classic, loved the storyline and whole concept. It is a pity the whole Requiem War project for Hw2 died, but hopefully FX can be the mod to resurrect Hw1 in Hw2 style instead. Time will tell.
As for the bad english, the modders are Chinese so that would be why. There once was someone at our forum working on a 'patch' for FX that would add proper English and fix spelling/grammer mistakes but I think it died.
Anyway, glad you are enjoying the mod =)
Please refrain from going off-topic or discussing about things that are not related to this mod in any way. Either reply with a comment about FX, or don't reply at all. Thanks for understanding.
I cannot play with this mod. wen I start a skirmish game when the charge is complete I return imediatly on windows. No error message generated.
Have you a solution?
That would be something to ask at the Technical Support section of the forum. We may be able to help you out there.

You running a cracked Homeworld2? Or do you have Vista installed? Those are common causes for this problem.
I suggest you visit the Technical Support section at our community and explain your problem there. We'll see if we can fix it then.
