Dawn of War 2 Patch Addresses Population Cap Bug

Special thanks goes to Games for Windows: LIVE for making us wait an extra couple weeks to finally get this fix. Seriously, is there anything that GFWL doesn't suck at? Nothing good comes from whatever it touches.

dear relic, stop dumbing down your games to appeal to a wider audience just so u can make more money

Gnnr! Feckin GFWL! I hope they got paid a load of fat monies to go with it instead of actually chosing it.

If the only reason they did this is matchmaking then its a total joke. The other night me and a friend grouped up and got "matched" with Rank 20's (we're ranks 1 and 2) who had massive pings so I'm guessing were the opposite side of the planet. Also, this amazing match took about 7-8 minutes. Serisoully, that's nto matchmaking, thats just picking names out of a hat.

The other thing is the paid for content, which on GFWL is a total disgrace! The Fallout pack was shocking, 800 points to buy, (points?! Whats wrong with ACTUAL money?!) and you can only buy in blocks of 1000, and there is NOTHING else on there to purchase! That's just outright insulting!

I have friends who buy points on ebay and all sorts because the conversion rates are better from other places. Its just an outright slap in the face to a customer. On xbox people use it as they have no other choice, but on PC we do. I hope they either learn lessons (again) fast, or just f**k off!

Calm blue ocean.

The bad news about this is, that we had to wait weeks to get the popcap bug fixed. If anyone follows the official game forums, they did admit that a code fix for this bug took them about 15 minutes, and there went something wrong with the GFWL/MS certification process for that said fix.

So this "fix" what we got right now, is a half-arsed - making fun of your customer way of doing things. While they seemingly "fixed" the popcap bug, they had to adjust the requisition gains it's 340 on HQ from ~240 pre-patch and change the upkeep rule set for the game, which by some big question mark doesn't hit space marines as much as the other factions.

Actively this give SM players a big req boost, and in the end game they get roughly 100req/min more as any other race, which is super cool for competitive online play I'd say.

Way to go THQ & Relic, you have chosen the best possible partner with Microsoft, which declines your proper patches, so the customer gets shit packed up in a gift in the end.

They must fix matchmaking system. I am waiting 6 or 7 minutes get in the game everytime. Steam servers are better than shitty LIVE servers. I hope Relic use only Steam servers and break off the LIVE support. Steam has achievements and friends too.

Man you guys talk alot of trash about a game that just came out. Yea its got its issues but come on give it some time. Its a great game, looking for anyone who wants to co-op. Hit me up. See you on the battle field Dog.

So when does the patch come out that makes coop worth half a fuck? Right now you can't get experience unless you are hosting, or change your items.

This game is such a god damn step backwards it isn't even funny. I still can't even be bothered to play the single player campaign since it is boring as fuck.

*NOTE* - This is part of 1 of a 2 part fix. There are still a few edge cases where the bug could occur. They are however, rare and require intended exploitation in order to recreate. Our next patch will completely resolve this issue but requires further testing and

It's not even completely fixed yet. Relic/GFWL fails at patching.

need more maps and 2on2 :|

Why is it "Games For Windows" are usually anything but? *shrugs*

Woohoo!

PRAISE BE TO THE EMPEROR, WISE BE HIS CODE-PRIESTS

Good, now give us 2vs2 damnit all.

Now if they could just get that bandwith problem fixed......

This explains why I was at 100 pop cap at the end of a game when my units were:
Hero
1 Terminator Squad

Wow, todays RTS patch day.

Glad to see this one among the patched titles as it's the only one that matters
