We have our changelogs posted on our Wikia. B
are in mind, we have changed and added so many, it was hard to keep track of. So, is best to have a look in game for yourself!

In addition, if you need further troubleshooting help, either head out to our FAQ on our Discord or the Troubleshooting Section on our Wikia.




MAIN SECTION - MOD DESCRIPTION
> Greetings everyone! This is going to be the place where we will be developing the Unification Mod for the Dawn of War SoulStorm game, along with the Race Mods. Unification at its core, is an advanced combiner mod that allows you to seamlessly combine almost all community-created races. Make no mistake, this is the ABSOLUTE way to combine races. SCaR, AI, audio, winconditions, rules and all other aspects of the game need CAREFUL treatment, and I have already done the job.
> With the new version, it got even further. From 5.9 and beyond, it is also an ART REVAMP mod. All nine vanilla races are re-modelled to match higher visual standards.
> So this place will also be a "hub" for most race mods as well. You see, my team leads most of the race mods, so whenever we update one, a Unification note will also be posted.


IMPORTANT NOTES

This version works both with the STEAM and the DVD version of the SoulStorm game. Please, have your game updated to the latest patch version, for maximum efficiency.
Important: Your PROFILE name, MUST NOT end with a [Space] and a Numerical. Which means that names like "Uber 1" or "Superman 3" or "John 7" or "Computer 5" will cause issues!!!

I get out-of-memory errors,what do I do?
- Enable LAA. - In your local.ini(inside your Soulstorm folder),have the fullres_teamcolour=0.
- For bigger games,have the persistent scarring and bodies to low or off.
If the issue persists on your system,try 6p maps instead of full 8p.This is a memory limit of the engine itself,as it is a 32-bit application.
- To gain gain some more free Memory, just leave the AI MapDB wincondition, DISABLED.

4.)I have frame drop issues when I move my mouse and is flickering.
This is a bug caused by a Nvidia drivers update. 1.) Head to your Soulstorm folder and open a file entitled 'local.ini'. Look for a line that says 'screennovsync=0' and change the '0' to a '1'.
2.) Again, in your Soulstorm folder, enter the 'Drivers' folder and open a .txt file named 'spdx9_config'. Look for a line that says 'allowhwcursor 1' and change the '1' to a '0'.
3.) Test out your game. If your game is not running perfectly and you are using a NVIDIA GPU, roll your driver back to at least 457.41. Some people are experiencing issues with the 460+ drivers when it comes to playing older games.

UNIFICATION UNLIMITED(NO CAPS) ADDON HERE.

UNIFICATION CAMPAIGN ADDON HERE.

REQUIREMENTS
- The game - either the DVD or Steam version (obviously!). Dawn of War is VERY cheap nowadays, so there is no excuse for not having it :) Remember that you must have the DoW game and all expansions (WA,DC,SS) to play with all 9 core races! (Note that to play on-line, you will need the Steam version.)
- A capable machine. 3 Ghz CPU / 4 GB Sys mem / 2 GB Vid mem would allow you to play the game at almost full settings. The most important part is the memory. I would say, 6 Gbs + is a must.

Please note if the exe of the Campaign Configurator is marked as a virus,it is a false positive.However,if you still do not trust it,you are free to delete it,especially if you do not care much about the campaign.This is also one of the reason we allow for manual installation,in case people do not trust the installer for whatever reason.


DON'T FORGET: The DoW game series is a marvel given to us by Relic/Sega and and the WH40k universe is the outstanding creation of Games Workshop - a work of true art, if you ask me. There are countless souls in these companies (I hope I mentioned them all!) that have worked hard to provide us with this outstanding sci-fi experience. A big THANKS goes to them, and (needless to say) full credits are rightfully their own.

For your consideration, a full credits list is located here.

As you can guess from the title, we are pleased to announce that 7.0 is finally released!
Against all odds and difficulties, we have persevered and overcome any obstacles. Something we would never achieve without your continuous support!
There are no words to describe this moment and emotions we feel right now, aside that we wish from the deepest of our hearts that you will enjoy our work as much as we did making it!

Some helpful general advice before we move to the download link:
- If you are doing a clean installation of Soulstorm through Steam, please make sure LAA is enabled successfully. Steam has a tendency to disable it. If yes, do a restart of your PC and either enable through the Mod Manager anew or manually using the NTCore Patch.

- When launching a first match with the new version, there is a chance you will get a CTD at the start of the loading process. That is normal. The game profile still wants to load the SCAR files from the old version. A simple restart of the game(not the PC) will fix this and the game will load fine.

- Thanks to optimizations in packaging and ModDB raising the upload cap, we can have one single archive required only to be downloaded. In addition, the Unification_Bugfix and Unification_Bugfix_New_Races module files are discontinued as all semi-supported race mods are now complete and in. The mod is now called simply Unification.

- Do not use the Discord App when playing Dawn of War in genera.
As you may have read before, we have done many tests and confirmed that the Discord App messes with the DirectX9 DOW uses as it injects itself for the Overlay.
That has as a result to mess up the memory usage of the game and result in many RAM crashes. Disabling the app has showed a huge increased in stability.
Using the Browser is safe.
That is a bug with Discord itself that Discord does not bother to fix because old dlls. This is the same reason why you may get corrupted menus in the campaign which are only fixed if you close the app.

- Our tests have been very positive so far but as always, the public is the true stress test. Should there be any major bug that we have missed, like the last times, we will observe and release a Hotfix as soon as possible should it be needed.

- Regarding the addons, like the Campaign Addon and the Unlimited Addon. These will be uploaded in the coming days following the release. We will inform you on our Discord server and edit this article to include them when up. Likewise for fan made addons that we host on our server, there will be announcements by their creators once their updates are up. So keep an eye for them.

- Mirrors as usually are available on the first post of our FAQ. They will be updated in the coming days.

- Lastly, our Wikia will slowly update itself to the new information. As is a momentous work, please hang in tight until the job is complete.

DOWNLOADS:

Installer exe.

Main Package.

INSTALLATION:

Instructions for using the installer:

- Download the Unification package and the Unification Installer. Thanks to optimizations in packaging and ModDB raising the upload cap, we can have one single archive required only to be downloaded.

- Have the archive file in the same location(usually,it should be your default downloads folder) with where the installer is.

- Run the Installer exe and follow the instructions on screen. (Please mind the installer also counts as an uninstaller for any old version of Unification and the race mods as well as allows for installing the DOW Mod Launcher.)

- Enjoy!

Instructions for manual installation (intended for Mac and Linux OS users as well as for whoever does not wish to use or can't for whatever reason use the installer):

- Manually delete any old version of Unification and race mods that you may have installed.

- Only download the Unification package.

- Unzip it directly inside your Dawn of War Soulstorm directory.

- Download the Mod Launcher from the downloads section here and paste inside your Soulstorm folder.

- Make a shortcut of the Unification Campaign Configurator which is inside the extracted Unification folder.

- Copy the Movies folder from the DXP2 folder inside the Unification folder if you wish cutscenes in the campaign to be played(the installer copies them automatically).

- Enjoy!

And that is all. We deeply thank every single one of you who have been supporting us and enjoying Unification! You all make all of the hardships and work be worth the while!
So, with no other delays, we hope to see you on the battlefield!

Hello!
Only one question.
Can you check Biovares damage against infantry after their weapons upgrade (that supposed do damage against vehicles and buildings).
Because it feels like it not only cause normal damage to vehicles and buildings.
But it also increases damage to infantry (but not reduce it, as it should work, if I understand correctly).
Because of this, it becomes the ultimate weapon in the right hands.

Hey guys! Fantastic job you did with 7.0. Cant complain at all, just a dream come true (played DOW when it first came out with friends, Unification brings back so many memories and even improves on them!).

Please treat my suggestions as a fanboys "you-know-what-would-even-greater?" rumbling, dont you feel inclined to feel ordered around:

1. I really liked the survival-explicit units, (Custodians, Palatines Squat for EC, Witchseeker Sisters of Silence, etc.) unfortunately I can only field them so often. Perhaps there is a way to allow them to be summoned in skirmish-mode, perhaps hidden behind a WC (for those who are concerned with balancing)? After all, you already did something like this with the Inquisitorial Firesword.

2. Just brainstorming here, but are there any plans to include the World Bearers in a further update? I think, they fit really well within the Chaos Deamons, maybe as a specialized branch in tier II or byond.

3. Commissar Cain, has anyone seen Commissar Ciaphias Cain, Hero of the Imperium?

With Love, D.

Hello there! Many thanks for your nice words. Truly mean a lot!

1.) Some are already re-enabled in 7.0 and the patch. Others need to figure how would operate outside being reinforcements.

2.) We always brainstorm races. WB has been considered but too early to confirm anything.

3.) Unfortunately we will not be making the Varhallans but not sure if something changes in the future regarding him, as I also like his character.

In fact, if we cut them into a small piece and we could take them with us with the help of a special building, the name of the building is the Allied Regiment force barracks

Tallarn: deals more damage when hidden
Mordian: disciplined and resilient
Varhallans: Famous for their heroes
catachan forest warriors: an effective unit in close combat, so we can replace it with ogryn.

Great stuff guys. Just a few things i noticed: The Iron saint of the steel legion got no hero levels. Also when the renegade guard commanders are high level the new units don't start at higher level like is the normal system with all the other commanders.

Had a look and the Iron Saint is included in the Heroes list just fine. Not noticing anything weird with RG either. Please have a look again when the patch is out.
