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 general!
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:
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!
Have fun everyone!
- Team Unification

Thank you so much

Ребята вы не понимаете моего языка, но авторы СПАСИБО ВАМ ЗА МОД!!!!
YEEEESSSSS!
With more Imperial Guard regiments (and the Lost and Damned regiments) in this version the fun and immersion will be better than ever!
Great work, guys!
Thank everyone for your kind words! It truly means a lot to us!
Please enjoy!!!
Just epic. Everything works perfectly. Fun fact: me and my colleagues work in the ICU and although we have almost no time for private entertainment while working, we designated one of our PCs to just display the different modells in the Army Painter. Evertime one of us has a minute to spare, we just dwell on the amount of detail and get more and more excited.
Cant wait for our shift to be over! Guys, you have really outdone yourself!
No way. Someone who also has worked on ICU?
We have done something similar too with my colleagues as they know I work on the mod and some even play DOW regularly.
Really glad you guys like what you are seeing and I wish you the best in your work!
Thanks for your legendary work, can't wait to download it!
No gridkey editor tool?
It's not a tool. You still need to edit keydefaults yourself. It's just all the mod factions are now there.
Is there a guide to troubleshoot multiplayer games? We are getting an fatal scar error (FATAL Scar Error! - Execution has been paused. Error calling init function 35 : DestroyHQ.) when starting a multiplayer game with bots.
Your using the wrong Destroy HQ. There is a reason that one is in a section that says "DO NOT USE."
Unfortunately they cannot be removed or hidden, so just have to be moved.
Love the update! Good see more races added. What race is the sumari looking imperial guad? I cant seem to figure it out to try them in the mod.
they are Renegade Guard - the second "path". I forget the name. Click on the path with the blue swirly icon once you start Renegade Guard game.
Tekarn is the name.
Жалко только, что Севатара нет 😢 А так шикарно!
Sevatar wouldn't fit as they hardly have enough to make a race but very glad you like all!
Love the update! Good see more races added. What race is the sumari looking imperial guad? I cant seem to figure it out to try them in the mod.
Does the campaign addon gonna be a separate addon like previous version?
Yes. It kinda has to be due to the separate coding requirements.
i have a question that does 7.0 version support for crack game ?
Shout out to the modders ! U keep DOW alive after so many years, admirable :)
So wait, the main thing that's potentially been screwing my playing of Dawn of War in the past has been Discord integration? A weird flex but I guess makes some sense. Would turning off integration wholesale help with this or is it just straight discord working in the background doing the bullcrap?
The Discord App simple being active, whether in the background or not, will mess with it. You need to close the discord app entirely (i.e not minimized to taskbar).
You can use the web client just fine, it's just the app.
changelog?
On the main page of the mod(click "Read More") and on our Discord Server, in announcements.
Also on the main page of our wikia.
Absolutely Effing LEGENDARY!
All I can think is what could possibly be next?
If it's not decided yet, might we let the community vote on the next faction/races to be added?
There is a persistent bug where map fog will be turned on, even though I have "disable fog" checked on launching.
Anyone else?
Run both the mod manager and Soulstorm in Admin mode (right click on the exe in your soulstorm folder, properties, compatibility, run as admin).
Thanks!
Congratulations on the release, and thanks for all the work that the entire team has done over the years!
