Crashing/General Failure/Access Violation
It's likely that the launcher corrupted the mod, here's what to do:

1) Unsubscribe from the mod from the workshop
2) Restart steam
3) Delete these folders (or at your equivalent location)

`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244160\3120415217`

`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\DataWorkshopMODs\76561197999851396\3120415217`

4) Subscribe to the mod again
5) Hope the launcher doesn't corrupt it again

If you're wondering how the 'launcher corrupts the mod', essentially after downloading the mod and you boot up the game, it copy and pastes the mod from one folder to another.

The launcher however has a high tendency to crash, usually it's fine as it's after it's completed the transfer, but sometimes it hasn't. To force it to try again, you have to do the above.

In both your cases, I recommend following the instructions on the original post. It sounds like the launcher corrupted the mod.

The version that has been released has been out for over a week now and most people haven't had an issue - so we know it's not an issue with the mod in general but other factors like this.

An old fix is to just copy it over manually by taking from your Workshop folder in the same Steam Library as the game. Go to the 244160 file as that's the game's workshop ID and copy the folder named "3120415217" into your HWRemastered Mods folder in the actual Homeworld folder.

You can do the same for any mod on the workshop so long as you get the mod number from the url at the top of the workshop page.

I cannot get the game to work. I have installed and reinstalled 5 times now, using the steps above, but every time I get into the game and attempt a skirmish, I get the "general failure" pop up and some foreign language text.
Please help!

Sadly there is not much we can do other than say what you don't want to hear, you'll need to try again :(

It's pot luck with the launcher (and fully out of our control - its corrupting them whilst moving the mods from A to B).

For the S4 update ill try and make a steam version of the mod downloadable on moddb, but it will have a more complicated install procedure.
