    you might have to download the international patches as i think they differ from the english ones (for obvious reasons). the download links can be found somewhere on these forums.

    hopefully a moderator will come along soon and point you in the right direction.

    The problem that needs resolving is not ati's or relics its yours, your computer obvisouly has an issue.

    These could possibly be the problems.

    01:46:20.79 MOD -- Warning: Failed to open folder 'W40k\Locale\english\Data'.

    01:46:20.79 GAME -- Warning: Campaign 'DATA:SCENARIOS\SP\DAWNOFWAR.CAMP': the section CampaingIntro is missing!

    Those are messages that I don't get, and I'd guess that the problem is a messed up install and you just needed to reinstall.

    Its hard to tell because the log file always has errors in it even when nothing is wrong, you would have thought relic would have fixed that by now..........

    No bud... the prob is not my computer it is a problem with the game code or ati driver compatability. i play WoW splinter cell CT, and several other modern games with no problems and actually after I returned DOW i bought black and white 2 andn it runs fine.

    I also reinstalled several times..... I'm not your average user. I'm a pc tech that deals with these problems everyday unfortunatly I cant make drivers or game code work properly.

    Its also a telling sign when relics forum mods dont even respond to yur thread.
