Interference from Anti-Virus Programs It is recommended that any anti-virus programs be disabled when attempting to install Dawn Of War II: Retribution. Anti-virus software can often interfere and corrupt the installation process of new software. B. Modifications Any modifications to Dawn Of War II may result in the inability to patch successfully. Before applying any modifications we suggest backing up the affected files and replacing them before applying any patch. Not doing so may result in the need to re-install the game. 2.3 VIDEO ISSUES

A. Latest drivers required For best performance and video quality, please make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card when running Dawn Of War II: Retribution. If you hav e an ATI or NVIDIA video card, you can find drivers on their websites. http://ati.amd.com/ Driver: Catalyst 8.11 or newer http://www.nvidia.com/ Driver: ForceWare Graphics Driver Version 180 or newer Preliminary tests with out-of-date ATI drivers have shown some graphic corruption while playing Dawn Of War II: Retribution. Upgrading to the latest AT I drivers can solve the problem for most users. Preliminary tests with out-of-date NVIDIA drivers have shown lower performance and missing objects. Upgrading to the latest NVIDIA drivers can solve the problem for most users. B. Exceeding recommended Auto Settings for Graphics Options Exceeding the recommended Auto Settings for Graphics Options can result in undesired performance degradation and graphical errors because the settings are exceeding the capabilities of your hardware. If you are experiencing graphical issues after installing the latest graphics card drivers, ensure Auto Settings is selected in the Graphics Options page of the game's Main Menu. C. Black squares rendering on screen in place of expected graphical effects As per above, exceeding recommended Auto Settings for Graphics options can result in undesired graphical corruption. One known issue involves black squares spawning on screen in place of expected graphical effects. For most users, the problem can be rectified by lowering the detail settings or, alternatively, increasing your AGP aperture size if you're using an AGP-based Video Card. 2.4 SOUND ISSUES A. Latest drivers required Please make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card when running Dawn Of War II: Retribution. B. The sound stutters while playing Make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card. If stuttering persists try reducing Hardware Acceleration. From your Windows(R) desktop, click Start, then Run, type "dxdiag", then hit Enter. This brings up the "DirectX(R) Diagnostic Tool". Click the Sound tab and try reducing the "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level" slider. 2.5 OPERATING SYSTEM-SPECIFIC ISSUES A. Windows(R) Key Interrupts Game If the Windows(R) key is pressed during game play, the Start Menu will interrupt the game. Should this happen, simply press the Escape (Esc) key to close the menu and return to the game. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent this from happening again except by being careful not to hit those keys while playing.

B. Administrator Privileges Needed To Install On Windows(R) XP and Vista(R). You must have Administrator privileges to properly install the game. You do not, however, require Administrator privileges to play the game after it has been installed. For information on how to change your user settings to obtain Administrator privileges, please refer to your Windows(R) documentation, or click the Start button and select 'Help and Support'. C. Alt-Tab to Switch Applications Some drivers do not support the Alt-Tab switching between Dawn Of War II: Retrib ution and other applications. It is highly recommended that you do not use Alt-Tab to switch to another program while Dawn Of War II: Retribution is running. If you w ish to switch programs, first close Dawn Of War II: Retribution. Using Alt-Tab while Da wn Of War II: Retribution is loading can result in loss of all sound when returning to the game. D. Windows(R) Vista 32bit Virtual Memory Limitations The original version of Windows(R) Vista(R) can consume too much virtual memory while running Dawn Of War II: Retribution with high graphics options. This can cause the game to crash. Please consult Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB940105. 2.6 MULTIPLAYER & INTERNET ISSUES ***NOTE***: THQ Customer Support does not support playing multiplayer through firewalls or shared connections. A. Firewall Issues - If you have a firewall it may be blocking Dawn Of War II but the firewall popup window is not showing in front of the game. Quit the game or bring up the task manager and end the Dawn Of War II task. Go to your firewall settings and correctly configure them for Dawn Of War II. - If you have a firewall such as ZoneAlarm or Norton Personal Firewall, then you need to make sure that you have given Dawn Of War II permission to access the internet and to accept connections from the internet. - If you have the Windows(R) Firewall enabled, you need to make sure that Dawn Of War II is listed and selected in the "Exceptions" section of the firewall options. To do this open the 'Control Panel', double-click the Network Connections icon, and right-click on your internet connection. Select 'Properties', then 'Advanced'. You should now see the 'Settings' button for the Windows Firewall. Click the button and make sure that the firewall is turned off, or that ' DOW2.exe' is selected in the 'Exceptions' tab of the Windows(R) Firewall dialog box. - If problems persist try disabling the firewall. B. NOD32 Virus Checker users - NOD32 scans the network activity of the programs on your machine. You need to configure NOD32 to exclude Dawn Of War II from scans as it will drastically degrade online performance. In the IMON setup, under the Miscellaneous tab, press the edit button within the Exclusion box/zone. Press the Add button in the Exclude Application dialog and find the DOW2.exe on your hard drive to add it to the exclusion list.

2.7 KNOWN ISSUES A. When running in Windowed mode, the game fails to recover if it loses focus Dawn Of War II does not support running in a "windowed" mode. Remove any command lines forcing windowed mode from your game shortcut. B.
