Here are the bugs we investigated, but couldn’t nail down:

Various Windows 10 crashes
We haven’t been able to consistently reproduce this issue. This is due to computers having different setups and different versions of programs which Dawn of War requires to run successfully.
There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot and update to make this compatible with the various settings you have. The best thing to do is post your trouble on our forums for help from the community -here-
Steam invite broken
We were unable to reproduce this error. This may be a steam connectivity issue as this happens with other games and not just Dawn of War.
Last Stand won’t launch
This was difficult for us to reproduce. It looks like a network match-making issue and we’ll need logs and repro steps to properly investigate.

There's a limit when this stuff becomes pathetic

[Atlas]

YESSSSS!

THIS IS THE DOW UPDATE I HAVE WAITED FORRRRRRRRR!

...No it's not

[Caeltos]

Added multiple colors in the army painter.
Due to new colors for the Necron, there are new colors for everyone!

The Celebration Continues: 5th Anniversary Bug Patch!

[Crewfinity]

....so when does elite mod get Necrons again?


how did they not get "fix the referee functionality" on their list of popular bug requests?!?

[stealth]

Did some one say necrons

[Lulgrim]

Well the list implies they weren’t looking for things to fix, but things to make a list of, with least possible effort.

Steam invite broken

Wait, sorry, ...what?

This error is _not_ difficult to reproduce, in fact less than 50% of the invites I've received since the battle server update do not work at all, and it's easier to just go to the public game list and join from there instead of inviting directly, because invites don't work.

On topic, necron overlord is cool I guess, and new content isn't a bad thing per se, but no battle server fix is rather disappointing, as others have pointed out there are still no referees and a ton of other problems before the start button is even pressed.

Also, a better way to grow the community would have been to make this the result of MWNL =)

[Wise Windu]

Apparently the Necron Overlord will be free for 5 days.

Also: HWT weapon fix Alive gaem

Here are the bugs we investigated, but couldn’t nail down:

lol. Could have probably worded it differently, at least. Like "Bugs we are continuing to investigate" or something that makes it seem like they're going to continue working on it. ...Hopefully they are.

And here is the steam store page with some ingame screenshots of the Necron Overlord:

Bugger, I just found some really broken AI code I was going to report (don't worry fixed in elite)

[Gorbles]

There's nothing to say there won't be more fixes in the future. Not that I'd hope for anything soon, but we'll see how this all pans out.

Fixes? I just hope they will not break whats still working

[Lulgrim]

I doubt there will be “more” fixes… frankly I didn’t expect any now, and looking at this patch, they basically just picked a token handful of easy-as-possible (and pointless) fixes so they can technically call it a bug patch without lying. I really can’t understand the motive, though, as anyone still in the game will obviously call it a joke, whereas anyone else won’t care one way or the other. Why bother?

[Dark Riku]

Why bother?

So they can break other things
I pray to the God Emperor they don't!

[HARRYY]

in ELITE there are so many things, that fix bugs directly or bypass them.

Could the ELITE modders compile all the fixes they have made in a way its easy for relic/sega to track those and implement those easily?
I mean alot of fixes in ELITE have already prooven their functionality!

Practical: can you modders compile it in a easy-to-read FIX-LIST and post in their foums (so everybody can SEE it, so its making more pressure on relic/sega).

come on ! 1 Last act !

besides I like ELITE much, Id prefer official Support for DOW2

Why not bother? Honestly, you'd think anything would be good at all, but apparently not!

Nevermind giving the new DLC for free to anyone who actually is a fan of the mode.

Crashes and achievement bugs are generally the most-requested, and I put in a specific word for the HWT bug that was one of the largest complaints from around here. Anything else was obviously not resolved in time, or even replicated in time. Resource constraints matter in games development, far more than they do in games modding.

'Hey Gignen! Not try before you but it will actually be free to download to keep forever. After the 5 day period though if you haven't downloaded it as yet, it will be full price'

That's the full quote. It's free DLC and paid for after the first 5 days if you haven't downloaded it already.

[Dark Riku]

Like the Steam invite bug that ONLY happens with the DoW titles and happens every time it's not your first game... That's just

I passed on the invite bug myself, along with a bunch of stuff you guys reported, but also it does only happen intermittently. I had it even with TLS, but it hasn't been happening of late. Could even be tied to server management / maintenance, no idea. If they can't replicate it at their end, there's not a lot they can do.

Basic software development, really.

[Helios]

Well it's the 10th now. Any news?

Available: March 10
This game will unlock in approximately 2 hours

[Psycho]

And here I am visiting relatives 175km away from my computer. Hope I can get back before the 15th, if the free grab lasts the 5 days I heard.

[Dark Riku]

Why is it not named, Necrons? :/ Bothers me
