Beta Update 3.9 Preview

Thu, 02/17/2011 - 3:42pm | by Thunder

Hey guys,

As we're closing in on our launch day I wanted to ask for your help one last time.  We're trying to track down some of the loading problems that you have been experiencing and we have added some additional logging to this patch to help with that.  If you experience any of the following issues please send your warnings.txt which can be found at C:\Documents and Settings\user.name\My Documents\My Games\Dawn of War II - Retribution Beta\Logfiles to [email protected]

  1. Unusually long load times
  2. Stuck on the lobby screen after the countdown has finished for 10 seconds or greater
  3. Loading bar flickers rapidly on the loading screen
  4. Stuck at the beginning of the game but unable to play for 10 or more seconds

We've also done a pretty significant volume pass over most of the sound and speech in the game so things should come through a lot more clearly.  In particular the Tyranid Hive Mind voice should be a lot more audible.

Your help had been invaluable so far and we're all very excited to release the game soon!
