is this one better than the Unification mod?

Hey, not sure if someone can help me. I've tried installing the TWM 1.00.30 and 1.00.31. However, whenever I start a game (tried skirmish and campaign since I only play single player on this game) I have no control over my faction and the game is running on a higher speed than usual.

I play on window mode. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but still the same thing happens with the mod. Anyone has found a similar issue and has any solution for this?

The last version, with all bug fix(and the Tyranids race), are 1.00.38 (for DC); 1.00.27 (for SS) here(search the relative version, DarkCrusade or SoulStorm in the link in the middle of the post OR the magnet torrent in the bottom of the post) http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4859187 ....the hint from Nimmsi Von Hinden are correct and important, but i suggest to download and use "DoW mod manager 1.52" both for use of MODs and for patching the game, to use 4GB instead of Default 2GB, in every exe like also the cracked/no-CD ones. https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=75449

P.S. for @Derelict Mind I play DoW from 15 years(many of them ensemble five/six pals) and DoWPro from 10 years; i tried UA and found it very unbalanced and full of bugs, the gameplay is "furious & confuse" having some odd choice, resembling the silly SCraft2 at "max speed/most APM win", very few strategy, no more tactics. Quantity over quality, in that UA is "better".

@Derelict Mind

Meh i dunno man UA barely updates as it is and doesnt often add anything new rather than fixing some colour pixels

[Derelict Mind]

Yeh sorry, UA will always be better.

[Axios2002]

I cant thank you enough for that link, the page to wich the moddb links sent me is sketchy as f*ck and wouldnt even let me download the files

[P1]

So im Having the same peoblem as @Options , the mod works fine and i can save on the campaign map and also mid battle on skirmishes, but if i try to save mid stronghold battle it don't work..... i overwrite or create a new save, then when i load nothing happens the game freezes, when i looked in the save game folder in Soulstorm\Profiles\Profile1\titaniumwars_ss\Singleplayer\SaveGames The saves that arnt working are coming up with .cmp and .sav instead of savegame1.cmp and savegame1.sav

If no expert will give you a proper explanation or help to your cause, I hope this might help you, because I play the game without issues since i attached the patch to mod and the game and i can save/load without trouble during missions. and sorry for 3 comments, comments are only allowed 1000 characters long -.-

Now you might wonder it says it is for ultimate apocalypse, but that doesn't matter now. I use it for Vanilla Soulstorm, for Vanilla Dark Crusade and Titanium Wars Mod for both games it is a 4GB Patch. Basically it forces the game engine to use 4GB instead of Default 2GB.
You will want to patch your created shortcut and to be sure your GraphicsConfig.exe (you can patch your default Soulstorm.exe too if you want)Now the reason I'm suggesting this idea (again I'm no expert), I had crashes sometimes during stronghold missions, even in vanilla, so I assume the reason you can not load your skirmish/stronghold mission might be caused by a similar issue.Now don't worry if this doesn't help you either have more GB attached to the old game engine or if you do not want/need it verify integrity off game files to set it to default.
Note I have a modern pc with 16 GB Ram, as far as i as a noob understand it, the game does only use 2 GB by default.

@Options Never had that issue, I'm no expert at this so I can't tell the exact cause why your save doesn't work., though I might have an Idea what potentially can help.
First you want to create a custom shortcut, so you can directly start your Titanium Wars from it. To do so, create copy of DoW SS shortcut, open shortcut property and edit run string.
Add parameter -modname TitaniumWars_SS. Example of correct run string:
"D:\Games\Dawn of War Soulstorm\Soulstorm.exe" -forcehighpoly -nomovies -modname TitaniumWars_SS
(-forcehighpoly and -nomovies are not that important for you right now forcehighpoly forces best textures and nomovies self explaining you can add them or leave them, you want that -modname TitaniumWars_SS in run string to have custom shortcut to directly launch the mod)
