Hi all, get a strange problem when i try to install the patchs for DoW so i can play WA....first of all i used the online patcher in the game....patch 1.01 installed fine. I then proceeded to download patch 1.10....however when the patch was installing it got as far as ''Data-sharedTextures-full.sga'' then the patcher just ended and said an error had occured which, according to the report is ''\DOCUME~1\PETO\LOCALS~1\TEMP\10-16-2005_15_58_44_ERRORLOG.TXT
C:\DOCUME~1\PETO\LOCALS~1\TEMP\10-16-2005_15_58_44_MINIDUMP.DMP''

I tried to use the patch which is downloaded independantly but the also got to the same point and the patcher ended but that one gave no error report...it just stopped and returned to desktop.

i am not technically minded, just a gamer but i do try to keep all drivers up to date and so forth but issues like this are like a foreign language to me so any help is much appricated :)

Humm, I had similar issues with patches, the only workaround for me was to install DoW, patch it and then install WA on another box, then copy the whole thing over my previous install on my pc. Hope it works for you

Ok, uninstall DoW.
Delete the Dawn of War folder manually, make sure to kill all mods and custom files.
Reinstall DoW, do not patch.
Install WA, it will patch the game for you.

Well I for one am having the same problems and having just purchased the game of DoW, I am certainly NOT going to spent another $30 us to patch the thing. The patch utility SHOULD allow a good patch. Somehow either the v 1.01 or the v 1.1 is corrupted and will not let th epatch continue to update. Is there a solution wo this without puchasing an entirely new program such as WA??? Seems a bit crappy to me. sorry I edited this post due to my nasty spelling..LOL

Monkee: He was talking about WA, so I told him to let WA do its job. If you care to take a look at our Master Troubleshooting List here:
