Ibought, downloaded and installed Dawn of War and its 2 expansions (winter assault and dark crusade, the third one is not compatible with CXgames) via steam on CXgames.
Game is running really good but here are the bugs :
Not properly installed .
Actually the 3 games have been successfully installed via steam but they seem to be completely independant, I should be able to switch from one another after launching the original game (there's a function for that in all 3 games) but I have to reboot every time, as if expansions were installed "on the head of the other", not as in a whole complete game.
Not mentionning it does have an impact on multiplayer playing ( for instance, the 7 races of dark crusade are avalaible in multi if you got the first DOW. Since it does not "know" it's there you can't properly use them).
I installed them via steam one after the other (respectfully of chronology) did I do something wrong ?
To a larger extent, how does steam work under CXgames as far as it goes for installation of extensions, mods etc ...?
Dark crusade extension single player campaign issue.
First time I launched the game, I tried the single person campaign. I noticed some graphical glitches at the world's map (some portions of it don't appear right) and the game crashed after launching a battle.
Second time I launched the game,and it keeps on behaving like this now, the game crashed as soon as the world's map appear, making single campaign unplayable.
Beside that, the game is running perfectly (skirmish, multiplayer etc...) but is estropied from its single player mode (wich is unfortunately the best feature of this expansion...)
I tried a redownload/reinstall but it keeps on behaving like this.
Notice that the crash info window is the big one with "crashed for unknown reason" and a place below to write a message and send it ( to you I suppose ^^)
Dark crusade is known to have some problems on CXgames (in the compatibility list you entitle it as "gold" though, a short check among the net attends to prove that the color is a little less yellow than that ^^) but I never read anything about the problem I have on any forums .
the problem seems to be very sensitive to the game aspect ratio and colors choice option :
I actually managed to see the map functioning a few times in 800x600 (16), but the game would crash anyway after that (while loading the first battle on this specific occasion).
Once again the 3 games (DAW, Winter assault and Dark crusade) seem not to communicate "properly", as far as it is supposed to be the same game + extensions (the 2 expansions are playable as a stand alone but are limited regarding online multi if you don't have the 1st DAW, it reacts like this here)
Maybe there's something I'm missing from the CXgames/steam relationship's mechanic when it comes to installing games via steam.
You will do better asking questions like this, in the actual forum for the
game title(s) involved -- specific issues related to any game/app can be easily
overlooked/missed in this 'General Forum' -- please report to one of the following;
The version of the game is the Xmas sell off on steam of the platinum version (wich includes DAW + the 2 expansions)
Regarding steam I installed it via the Configure/Install software/"steam via download" package; it runs well except for the scrolling bug in the steam window.
Anyway I will post on the game's thread you provided ( sorry but I'll just copy my posts here with a little "edit" line) but something tells me the game is not involve but the installation of steam/the game via steam/CXgames

"History is filled with stories of women accused of witchcraft, of fearsome girls with arcane knowledge. Toil & Trouble features fifteen stories of girls embracing their power, reclaiming their destinies and using their magic to create, to curse, to cure--and to kill...This collection reveals a universal truth: there's nothing more powerful than a teenage girl who believes in herself"--Publisher.
This collection of short stories , some by YA superstars, casts a charm firm and good. Look for culturally, and LGBTQIA+ diverse characters, strong women, and some worlds you won't want to leave. -Casey
"One of Esquire's Most Anticipated Books of 2019 Breathtakingly imaginative and unapologetically original, The World Doesn't Require You announces a bold, generational talent. Deftly spinning genres of his feverish literary invention, Rion Amilcar Scott creates his very own Yoknapatawpha County with fictional Cross River, Maryland. Established by the leaders of America's only successful slave revolt, the town still evokes the fierce rhythms of its founding. Among its residents are David Sherman, a struggling musician who just happens to be God's last son; Tyrone, a ruthless PhD candidate, whose dissertation about a childhood game ignites mayhem in the neighboring, once-segregated town of Port Yooga; and Jim, an all-too-obedient robot who serves his Master. Culminating with an explosive novella, these haunting stories of the denizens of Cross River serve to explore larger themes of religion, violence, and love--all told with sly humor and a dash of magical realism. Shattering rigid literary boundaries, Scott is "a necessary voice in American literature" (PEN Award citation), a writer whose storytelling gifts the world very much requires"--
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom." In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.
Chiang explores determinism, A.I. and alternate realities. Every tale is unique and fascinating. So much so that I can't choose a favorite. I recommend this to anyone who wants their Sci-Fi to get them thinking. -Brian
"Stories from a lost American classic "in the same arena as Alice Munro" (Lydia Davis) "In the field of short fiction, Lucia Berlin is one of America's best kept secrets. That's it. Flat out. No mitigating conditions." --Paul Metcalf A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. With her trademark blend of humor and melancholy, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday--uncovering moments of grace in the cafeterias and Laundromats of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Northern California upper classes, and from the perspective of a cleaning woman alone in a hotel dining room in Mexico City. The women of Berlin's stories are lost, but they are also strong, clever, and extraordinarily real. They are hitchhikers, hard workers, bad Christians. With the wit of Lorrie Moore and the grit of Raymond Carver, they navigate a world of jockeys, doctors, and switchboard operators. They laugh, they mourn, they drink. Berlin, a highly influential writer despite having published little in her lifetime, conjures these women from California, Mexico, and beyond. Lovers of the short story will not want to miss this remarkable collection from a master of the form"--
Lately I've been enjoying collections of short stories. Lucia Berlin's stories are about many characters, but all are semi-autobiographical. And though most stories seem to be about ordinary events in ordinary towns with ordinary people, all contain extraordinary insights into the human condition. -Mari
