download this file which is the mod itself, Sourceforge.net, once you have downloaded it move it to your homeworld 2 data folder, then edit your HW 2 shortcut to include this command line, -mod HWUniverse-1.0.0.big , Then watch this video so you can see how to set yourself up in game, Moddb.com. |

is the command line the same as the target line when you open up the properties of the shortcut |

Are you playing with a friend? Because it seems that HWU will sync after an hour online, not sure why it is doing this, anyways i havent noticed any problems with Vs the Ai, so not sure why you are crashing. |

ive seen th tutorial but it doesnt help me s i cant even get that far. the game crashes as soon as it opens up to the black screen. i have done the -lowtex command i THINK correctly. but its mostly from me looking around and guessing. so if its not to much of a pain can you walk me through that? "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod HWUniverse-1.0.6.big -lowtex thats what my current one looks like |
||

thats the correct use of the command line but i honestly dont know why it crashes for some and not others, only time i have had problems is when i did something on my end that caused a fatal exit that showed up in the error log. And i am alone in this mod team, i dont have anyone to help me with scripting or anything. So i wish i could help solve your issue but i only have windows XP and i dont have time for anything anymore, or at least till my job ends on dec 19th. |

Hi guys, really excited to try this mod. I have it installed and I can make a game and get into it np. But the problem I'm having is there's some sort of huge delay/lag when trying to move camera. So much so I haven't been able to play at all. Is there a certain setting I need on/off? I've tried them all that I can find but nothing seems to work. My computer is is rather beefy and shouldn't be the problem. Just curious if anyone had any idea how to fix this? The delay is about 10secs plus are even just rotating camera and zooming in/out. Thanks for hearing me out. |
