Can't Play Retribution or Elite mod
I purchased everything from steam ( dw2, chaos rising, retribution ) and installed. I can play dw2 and chaos rising BUT i cannot play retribution and more importantly elite mod. I used to play dw2 when i first game out and after seeing Turin play it made me nostalgic. I cannot get it to work no matter what I do. I have installed/uninstalled/re-installed multiple times. Each time its' the same issue. When I open elite mod or retribution I get through the intro videos then it stops on the home screen BUT no buttons, no user interface. when I click esc key I get the option to close the game but that's it. Anyone please help. I miss playing this game and seeing this elite mod got me all excited to play. I have searched the web tirelessly for many hours trying everything I could find and have not found a solution. I am running windows 11 pro , with a 2080ti card and a Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz processor.

Things to try:
- Go to game in Steam Library - Right click on Retribution - Properties - Local Files - Verify integrity of game files
- Go to C: - Program Files (x86) - Steam - Steamapps - Common - Retribution - Install - DXSETUP
- Uninstall any mods or anything that might be interfering

Re: Can't Play Retribution or Elite mod
Thank you so much for your help.. unfortunately I went through our suggestions item by item.. the files checkout, I installed the active x drivers ( I assume that is what I clicked on ) and I have no mods of any kind installed. It's a fresh install. I also checked my windows firewall and it is set to allow dawn of war 2 and retribution through. This is the screen I get no matter what I do.

I went through and tried different resolution settings and it did not make a difference. I also can play chaos rising with no issues in the higher resolution.

I have no idea what it is then. Will give some advice I don't think will work, but I suggest you ask the Tech Priests on Discord.
- Temporarily disable firewall/antivirus
- Download CCleaner and clean PC. Make sure to back up registry
- Update Graphics card drivers. Clean install

I don't use Discord. One of the other users posts this link though: https://discord.com/invite/vRQsfc8N4K
