HowTo / Notes

directX 9

After you installed the game you may get a performance boost if you use the latest version of DirectX 9.

The easiest way to do so, is using winetricks:

winetricks directx9

Corrupted textures?

If you have problems with completely corrupted textures the problem might be that your systems lacks a library that is used for texture compression in Dawn of War.

Under Debian based system install the package "libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0" and try again.

Tweaking Graphics
Dawn of War's settings are quite careful chosen which means that you could improve the graphics a lot. Here is a guide on tweaking DoW's graphics which sums it up.

Needs winetricks dotnet35
by aililoh on Friday August 10th 2018, 16:42
without running winetricks dotnet35 I get this error:

Stacktrace:

at
at (wrapper managed-to-native) ._WinMainCRTStartup ()
at (wrapper runtime-invoke) .runtime_invoke_uint (object,intptr,intptr,intptr) [0x00052] in :0

=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
=================================================================

After running it the game starts fine.
