Dawn Of War Text Too Small

Warnings

The text is so small because the game is not changing the resolution when you set it in game. Currently i'm locked on 4k. I think my customised windows settings in windows 10 however have kept the text in game to a readable level as I've set my windows font to 120% size. Soulstorm is the standalone expansion to the RTS game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series.

GameSpy online services have been shut down (see Network for solutions).

Essential improvements[edit]

Higher resolution models[edit]

These enhancements are significantly more performance intensive. Ensure your PC is significantly more powerful than the recommended system specifications to ensure there is no loss of performance. Also note that this won't work for some people while it works for others. This is completely at random and cannot be fixed.

Full resolution models^{[citation needed]}

Open the local.ini file in the DOW folder.
Add the following line to the file: fullres_teamcolour=1
Save and close the file.

High Poly Models^{[citation needed]}

Use the -forcehighpolycommand line argument.

Mods[edit]

Dawn of War has a 'Game Manager', enabling switching between mods very easy.

Bug fix modification[edit]

Full details of this modification are here.Soulstorm was a very incomplete expansion, and due to the demise of Iron Lore Entertainment shortly after its release, there was little to no post-launch support.

This mod intends to fix a majority of 'obvious' bugs (such as upgrades doing less damage than their originals) and implements advanced Skirmish AI.
Highly recommended for those who play solo (skirmish/campaign).
Also recommended for those who play online, but all players must have this mod installed.

This mod breaks Campaign movies (fix provided on mod download page).

Dawn of War Professional[edit]

An extremely dedicated group of individuals put together this 'alternative' version of Dawn of War. While an acquired taste and significantly different to the base game, it offers a more intricate and interesting experience, with unit roles switched up, some upgrades that were removed in expansions restored, and additional content created by the community. All units are designed to play a role until late game.

The mod can be downloaded here.

Persistent Campaign Bases[edit]

The mechanics in the Campaign changed between Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, causing the loss of 'consistent bases' (buildings built in previous missions are there for the next mission on that map). This can be fixed by installing this mod.

Multiple mods[edit]

It is possible to run multiple modifications at once. For instructions, see here.

Field of view (FOV)[edit]

This fix will greatly enhance zoom capabilities.

Download Camera Zoom Mod.

Vertical sync (Vsync)[edit]

Disable vertical sync (Vsync)^{[citation needed]}

Run game at least once to generate .ini file.
Go to <path-to-game>
Open Local.ini.
Change screennovsync=0 to screennovsync=1.

Anti-aliasing (AA)[edit]

Forcing AA will render fonts blurry and harder to read.

Forcing AA via graphics driver will result in greater AA. INI fix is probably only 2x AA.

Anti-aliasing (AA)^{[citation needed]}

Run game at least once to generate .ini file.
Go to <path-to-game>
Open Local.ini.
Change screenantialias=0 to screenantialias=1.

↑ ^1.0^1.1File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/9450/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (9450) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
