Update 2.2.0 has been released for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition, addressing all key aspects of the game: gameplay, multiplayer, interface, and stability.
The developers have eliminated crashes, synchronization errors, fixed the campaign and AI behavior, and made balance adjustments. Among the main changes are the reworking of AI construction logic, fixes in mission scripts, and an increase in the squad limit for the Sisters of Battle.
Multiplayer has also received important improvements. Now, in Automatch mode, own banners and army colors are displayed correctly again, the ability to kick players at the moment of the countdown has been removed, and ratings are displayed through the API. Errors with menus, banners and icons have also been fixed, loading screens have been improved, and widescreen art support has been added.
The visual part has also been affected. The developers have updated animations, textures and special effects for different factions, improved Necron materials, worked out the details of buildings and made maps in training more readable. New tools have appeared for modders: fixes for the mission editor, support for additional menus, as well as SCAR documentation.
Changes have also affected the controls. The authors noted several known issues that are planned to be resolved at the end of September, including fps drops in large battles, bugs with unit teleportation, and flaws in the operation of cloud saves.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition was released on August 14, 2025 and includes the 2004 original with the Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm add-ons. The game is available on Steam and GOG.
