Warhammer 40k Mod

[wolke]

Is anyone planning to make or is already making a 40k mod for GOH? I know there is one for MOWAS2 but I think it would look amazing in this game.

Good question I'm still waiting

lasers wont work in GOH

Unfortunately the devs of teh MOWAS 2 ùod have no intention of porting to GoH, so somebody else would have to step in.

Because one of the developers of the mod is also a developer of Men of War II, so they have to compensate for the bad game somehow lol

"Sigh" , Could they at least make men of war assault squad 2 in 64 bits . I wish to replay the warhammer mod since i have upgraded my pc . They could easly make one version compatible for every 32 Bit and 64 bit player .

You can use 32-bit applications on a 64-bit platform. People don't know this in 2025? (No offense.)

(Disclaimer: I am not ultra computer literate. What I state below is my understanding of the problem based on personal experience and talks I've had with those more knowledgeable than me. If somebody knows more than me and sees this, please correct me.)

That doesn't change the main problem I know of with 32-bit game engines: The RAM limit. IIRC, something about 32-bit stuff limits the amount of RAM a program (in this case, a game) can use to 2 gigabytes, 4 if you use a Large Address Aware patch. To put it simply, a 32-bit game is unable to leverage any RAM amount higher than 4 gigs, tops. If you have a GPU with more than 4 gigs, the game is completely unable to use that excess RAM.

The biggest issue this presents for gameplay in my experience - besides issues with old software running on newer hardware in general IIRC - is that whenever this cap is hit, the game will crash. Period. There's no way out of this besides gimping your experience, and when playing with large, powerful mods like the MoWAS 40K mod and stuff like Unification for Soulstorm, it has a tendency to rear its ugly head a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lot...

There are ways modders and gamers can try to avert this, but those are band-aids at the very best. The only permanent fix for the RAM problem is the game being upgraded to 64-bits. From there, it comes down to what can be optimized and the specs of a player's computer.

This seems to have better explanations, albeit they make my head hurt a bit.
