[Warzug]

I have this bug. When i try to install i always get a message that Main Sound file is something wrong with but i can start the game. But when i enter amry painter all models are white and when i play all terrain and ppl are white! Can anyone help?

[Totmacher]

Sounds like a driver issue or lack of AGP address space (aperature size). Please post warnings.log, dxdiag. and local.ini.

[Warzug]

I did not understand that at all. But the demo did work!

Find your warnings.log file in the game's install directory, and post it here.

Errr that's not it.

In the \dawn of war\ directory, there will be a file called warnings.log, open that, and copy and paste the text to here.

This one?
I'm sorry i suck at comp stuff!

Ohhhh sooo close!

Run the game once, close the game, then open the warnings.log file (not warnings1.log).

You started the application twice, from what it seems. Try doing it again and posting the new warnings.log.
Also, please do the following: Click on "start", select "run", type in "dxdiag". A new window will appear. Click on "Save all". The results of the tests you just ran will be in a file called dxdiag.txt. Please post the contents here as well. If you can't find the file, use the windows search function to find it.

Did you have trouble installing the game (As in the whole "my friggin' installer just *POOFED*!" problem), then try to copy the files from the last CD?

You need to rename the .sga files to use dashes ( - ) instead of underscores ( _ ). I'm running WinXP SP2... That v3.0x doesn't like the installer software much, and that's how I got it to install.

[Warzug]

I tried extrakting and i think there might be something wrong with my files!

Extracting to "C:\Program Files\THQ\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Extracting w40kdata_sound_full.sga
Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

CAB file Data3.cab is corrupt

[ÜberJumper]

That's another possibility... try reinstalling again.

And post your dxdiag.txt file please.

[Warzug]

I will when i get home! I've tried re-installing several times. It's always this bug at the end of the installation with cd 3, and i am unable to finish the installation!

[ÜberJumper]

Try copying all 3 CDs to your hard drive and install from there.

Try installing it into the default folders, one of my mates had that problem and thats how we fixed it.
