Is one of the bug fixes full health ssds insta dying?
We've never seen it in our own games and cant recreate it so there's no way to test it but we think it's fixed.
I certainly don't know if this is correct, I never had on my own this SD bug with a lot of hours in 2.0, I only had it to happen once with a Kandosii, that curiously needs by the path system a lot of space to move between ships if we compare it to ships of the same size, well, this only time just got a lot closer to another parked Kandosii than it normally does, boom, it just suddenly exploded, there was just the enemy base falling apart and the ship had even the shields up.
From that time I started splitting them more and didn't have any issues, even dropping like 8 of them into the battle.
Some of the game collisions were probably interfering.
This happened just once in more than 100 hours of game, I think it was just pure luck I even noticed, because happened early in a GC with a small fleet.
It happened to my with a lucre Hulk Control ship that i just spawned near asteroids in the middle of the Felucia map. There was plenty of fighting going on and the lucre Hulk would have turned the Battle to my favor but it just exploded on Full health and i think it happened because one of the destroyed mining Asteroids respawned again. on hist posstion.

with that bug people would call in the executor and it would insta die for no reason it also happens randomly around the map with other ships
Yes we are aware of what the bug is. We've seen it in videos and it's been reported MANY MANY times. It's just that we cant recreate it so there's no way to test a fix. So we assume it's fixed now after fixing what we think the cause was. Seeing as there's been no reports of it since the newer releases it can be assumed that it is indeed fixed.
another glitch i came across also is that healing stations dont heal some ships to full it'll keep them around the 90's but sometimes it just reduces there health

I done installation like in description but when I start game by bat file game is vanillia. IDK why newest version of this mod is more problematic than older I really don't damm know :/ I'm tired of this. Why we can't install this mod by idea like older versions??
What version of the game are you playing? Its literally no different from any of the other mod installs.
The modpath is wrong. it should be MODPATH=Mods\EAW-Remake-2.2
If you go to the options menu ingame on the steam version you can actually manually launch the mod.
Im having issues where it states its a .rar file but when i try to extract the files it says it isnt a proper .rar file. I have no clue whats wrong with it.
Hi, could anyone tell me what values to change in the XML files to go back to the default zoom in the galactic map ? 10 minutes of gameplay and my eyes are shot.... Thanks!
Is the Criminal Underworld supposed to have access to Yuuzhan Vong structures in skirmish? There's a 1000credit mine and several defense platforms. When I clicked one it crashed the game so I'm assuming they aren't supposed to be in.....
Does this mod still have the issue where save files are too big so you can't load any save? I'm curious if the issue is on my end and not the mod's.
Also holy **** Jereo and Niko this is friggin beautiful
IIRC that issue was fixed by Petroglyph themselves when they released the latest patch. No need for a modded fix anymore....
Doesn't work for me and I did everything you said.
Still can't get it to work. Will somebody please give me a hand?
I'm an idiot! Never mind, I finally figured out what I did wrong. It's so stupid I won't even say what it was.
can you please tell me how you did it im having trouble as well
New problem: Every time I try building a ship, my credits start going down, continuously. It went all the way down to zero and it wouldn't build back up and I had two mines. I can't build any ships, what gives?
Instead of having to pay the building costs up front you pay a fraction continually while the ship is being built. You put too many ships into the building queue...

Xd it is stupid game mechanic that it lets you buy everything even if you do not have money. When you get money it just spends it all on your ship or building so you can cancel the ship if you don't want to wait around with no money
I have installed the Mod the way the instructions say, but when I double-click the .bat file the game launches without the mod. Any suggestions?

So guys any tips on how to play this mod?
Downloaded twice now, and still corrupted. Did i do something wrong or is the uploaded file that is corrupted?
Looks like there is a problem with the EAW-Remake-2.2.rar, there is only the 4gb-patch file in it..
So for everyone: if you unzip the file and there is only the 4gb patch in it, try using another unzip program. I faced this issue with 7zip and tried winrar
I have installed this as in the above description but it just loads the normal game. The mod is visible within game under the options>mods tab, but if I click on that it loads up scenes from a battle with the build menu in the bottom right on top of the title screen and my mouse cursor vanishes. I have set the load path as above but it just seems to load the normal game anyway
You should check the start option in steam. The extracted folder from the .rar is called now remake-2.2 please check if you have changed that.

I have changed it to that. I reunzipped the file so it now has data in it as well as the 4gb patch file. It loads up the corruption expansion. Then if I go options-mods in game, it just reload the same corruption expansion
The installation itself is not that hard:
#1: download and unzip the file (if there is only the 4gb patch try another unzip program)
#2 you should now have a folder called Remake-2.2 place this folder in:
C:/progamfiles(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/empire at war gold edition/corruption/Mods
!!!if there is no Mods folder, simply create one
#3 apply the patch which is available in the download section -> install instructions are in the file itself
#4 Change your startup option in steam for the game as said in the installinstruction (beware the folder os called Remake-2.2 now!!!)
#5 start the game (the corruption version!)
#6 start playing, dont do things like go into mod-options
This is exactly the same instruction as in the downloaded file

Hey guys, everything works fine but I cant for the life of me figure out how to build mon calamari cruisers on the campaign? Thanks.
Hi,
You need to first took over of the planet Mon Calamari
I did that and I have even upgraded the space port to LV5 and I cannot see the cruisers. I see some smaller ships but that is about it. Any more help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Same here. Taken Mon Calamari and build space station to max level. Can only build MC30 and Tidal frigate but no MC80
