==Issues fixed==
 +
===GOG version doesn't launch from GOG Galaxy===
 +
If the GOG version doesn't start when launching the game from GOG Galaxy, try starting the launcher from <code>Homeworld Remastered\HWLauncher\launcher.exe</code>.<ref>[https://www.gog.com/forum/homeworld_remastered_collection/game_wont_launch]</ref><ref>[https://www.gog.com/forum/homeworld_remastered_collection/homeworld_not_start]</ref> You can also set this as default location for GOG Galaxy by clicking ''Manage Installation'' -> ''Configure'' -> Scroll to the bottom -> ''Add another executable / arguments'', and then select the above mentioned linked as ''default''.
 +
 +
===Access violation===
 +
If the game doesn't start or crashes with a ''access violation'' message, run your .exe as Admin (right-click -> Properties -> Compatibility).

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/244160/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (244160) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
