Key points
- Dawn of War and all of its expansions are highly modifiable and several high quality mods are available.
- Pseudo-Multiplayer is still possible thanks to GameRanger, or alternatively using Hamachi.
- To unlock the original races for multiplayer, Dawn of War (and Winter Assault if desired) must be installed to prompt unlocking.
- Dawn of War previously used GameSpy, support for which was discontinued at the end of 2012 due to their takeover.

To fix this error, do the following steps:
- 1. Go to your DoW file(where you installed your game, usually the "THQ" folder).
- 2. Open the game folder you currently have (e.g. Winter Assault, Dark Crusade)
- 3. Open your "Drivers" folder.
- 4. Open the "spdx9_config" file.
- 5. Scroll down to your appropriate video card (e.g. Nvidia, ati).
- 6. Find the "allowdevice 0" lines.
- 7. Change the "0" to "1" on all the "allowdevice 0" lines.
- 8. Save the file as "spdx9_config". You may have to delete the original to do so.
- 9. Try running the game.
