Plasma Cannons, and not killing friendlies with them...

I used to main Chaos, but I got really tired of the gratuitously evil voiceover, so I switched to Ork. Since the only thing Chaos had that resembled a Plasma Cannon was the Blast Master, but I never really got that too much. Jump to the Orks and I'm grabbing the Wierd Boy all day, and I'm running in...

Newer player having difficulty getting into the game

Hi, I'm relatively new, but I'm having trouble getting into the game because it takes FOREVER to get someone to play. I understand that people don't want to just noobstomp people, and that they don't really find that fun, but its a big catch 22 for me. I won't learn the game if I don't play games, b...

Re: Stuck preparing to launch.

And as far as how long I waited I left it open for maybe half an hour.

Re: Stuck preparing to launch.

A little further information. It seems that there was a update to the base game in may, which I did not install before I installed the updated Elite mod. Perhaps this screwed everything up. I'm just re-installing the game.

Re: Stuck preparing to launch.

I've had the game installed for a while now, having played a fair bit of vanilla before discovering Elite. I think the problem stems mostly from the fact that the game itself might be messed up, as evidenced by the fact that they will not uninstall. I'm exploring this avenue right now. BTW Love the ...

Re: Stuck preparing to launch.

It was installed to the default path, and DOW runs through steam (not sure if it runs anywhere else, but it might be important). I have a single drive, and it none of the installs of DOW are working, and they wont un-install when I try to un-install them. I'm running windows 7 64 bit and have a fair...

Stuck preparing to launch.

I decided to come back to Elite after several months of not playing, and I'm assuming I installed the newest patch wrong because the game is stuck on the initial "preparing to launch" screen. I don't want to have to re-install retribution, but Idk exactly how to uninstall Elite only. Is it...

Re: How the hell do I beat Tyranids as Chaos.

TY. I realized I was under the flawed assumption that CSM die to HG on even upgrades, so I think this new approach will help a lot.

How the hell do I beat Tyranids as Chaos.

My roommate mains Tyranids, and I cant seem to beat him. his melee squads always seem to stomp every squad I field, and there never seems to be a squad or upgrade available that will effectivly deal with his squads. The worst part about it, is that when I lose the engagement, I cant even run away, b...
