Steam ports need to be open, as do the GFWL ones, and DoW2 requires Windows Firewall access and access through any firewalls :eek:

Shamikebab · 21 Jan 2009 at 20:41

gaaaargh game crashed, sent error report (tries to hold back the seething rage by remebering it'll help them fix the game)

AndyBurnes · 21 Jan 2009 at 20:41

Waiting for you

Shamikebab · 21 Jan 2009 at 20:42

what the hell, just went to relaunch and steam tells me the game is currently unavailable...how can it be unavailable :confused:

AndyBurnes · 21 Jan 2009 at 20:44

Restart Steam. If that fails, verify game cache. If that fails, fly to Canada and murder Relic's QA testers.

AndyBurnes · 21 Jan 2009 at 20:57

Can't see you on my Steam list Shamikebab, so I guess you crashed?

Strife212 · 21 Jan 2009 at 21:00

I can imagine that the new system of gameplay is a LOT better for singleplayer, even if it isnt to everyones taste in multiplayer.

Got the stupid DVI signal cannot be found thing. It must be my graphics card overheating I think. Was fine this morning for about 4 games in a row. Seems fine for FM and general computer use, can't really afford a new one

Been itching to try this for a few months now.

Hmm I got a Key last night and I have so far seen no where to use it, are we supposed to use this thing in anyway?

If you bought Soulstorm on Steam there'll be a DoW2 beta listed under Warhammer on your Games list. If you have a retail version of Soulstorm, use your CD Key in the Activation part of the Games section.

I mean the key that is gained when you download the Beta.
