So after running Dawn of War 1 and 2 i decided to start this one but ive ran into a problem , im playing space marines for all strongholds but when i get my first wargear i cant select the teleporter
im playing on the original in disc realise , i figured patching the game should help but when i updated to patch 1.20 for some reason the game wont let me start a campaign.
thankyou for reading and for any help

That is a interesting one, I don't own the CD copy anymore, does GameCopyWorld give you any CD fixes as it could be the .exe that's causing the issue?
are you able to select the campaign or is it just unlit?
After just doing a little google here and there I found out that Steam runs on 1.30, but CD owners only get 1.20, but there isn't any info about your issue.
compatibility mode would be good if you run it on Windows 7 or higher (might fix it) other than that you might need to get the steam version which I don't think it is that expensive.

this got my game to work but i want to know if this being a fan patch will this invalidate any runs?
From reading it, it seems to just improve skirmish AI. (I don't know if it will affect Campaign AI) but other than that doesn't add anything different to the game.
So you're all good I'm glad you found a fix for it.
hey, I don't want to spoil the fun, but changing the AI behaviour with a mod is not allowed for speedrunning. I mean basicly every mod is not allowed as long as the community has not decided to specifically allow it.
the easiest way would be to run the steam version. you don't need to buy it again on steam. they accept the code you got with your cd-copy. if it is not working try to get in contact with support and they will send you a working code. that is how I got all the dow 1 + expansions working in steam.
hope I could help you out.
Didn't think they would send another code! that's pretty sweet of them, thanks for chipping in Max ^_^
thinking of it again, maybe it was sega support and not steam support. anyway one of those give you new codes.
yeah thanks ive messaged sega and they said they will get back to me in a few days , thanks for the help tho guys.
