Dawn of war ошибка spooge

This worked for my retail editions of DoW, DoW: Winter Assault, and DoW: Dark Crusade

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.
***Note: Don’t include the apostrophes (» «). Disregard them. I only used them as separators.

Think we are trying to rediscover the weel 🙂

I found this post that worked for me

This is my first post on this site but here is the solution I’ve found and I’ve done it on two different PCs to get Dawn of War and Winter Assault to run on a 64 bit Windows 7 platform:

1. Install Dawn of War and the other chapters if you have them

2. In ‘C:Program Files (x86)THQDawn Of WarDrivers’ there are two files spdx9_config.txt and nvidia.txt, create a new folder say ‘Archive’ in there create two further folders ‘Original’ & ‘Modded’, this can be in the same directory — you need to keep the original files.

3. The protection/permissions stops you altering the txt files but does not stop you copying over files.

4. So on your desktop create two dummy txt files and name them as the above and copy these into the ‘Modded’ folder, they don’t need any content at all, they just need the right file names.

5. Copy your original files into the other folder, Original, as you will need these to add patches later, I believe the software does a volume check on the txt files and recognises it’s changed — unsure but not a problem. Just copy them back when updating the game.

6. Place the dummy files into ‘C:Program Files (x86)THQDawn Of WarDrivers’ and then run the game — it should all work fine now but I’d advise not going for the Window option on configure as I found it buggey on my machine.

One after thought I’ve yet to test but the TXT files make reference to various graphics cards, if you delete reference to the make you have I believe it should work but yet to try it as the current method works fine, I’ve also noticed that the two PCs react differently on the intro, I can exit the movie sequence on my machine but on my son’s he can’t?!

thanks a lot, I was not able to play this game in a long time, but your post did it.

I did it usung notepad, there is a function «exchange» that can be opened by CTRL+H, because there are a lot of entries that need to be changed.

All attempted fixes are appreciated, but this does NOT fix the current problem with getting WH40K Gold and Winter Assault Editions to run since the last STEAM patch.

examining the file noted in the proposed solution above, first the file had not been changed since April 7, 2013 . well over a year ago. Second, the block for my video card (Nvidia) did not have the line mentioned. Those txt blocks were to exclude or include certain very old and now obscure video cards. The original post this fix comes from is dated April 27, 2008 . yes , thats over 6 years ago.

im not saying that this solution didnt help someone (maybe with an old computer system or lapotp), perhaps, but it is not the solution for the issue the rest of us are having.

We look forward to some kind of reply from the STEAM people.

Maybe it only works for Win 7..
And who says the fix can´t work just because it´s 6 years old?

The PC i used back then had an i5 (sandy bridge, I think) and a gtx 560, so it wasn´t THAT old.
I´m pretty sure i have had it running with my current PC as well — which runs Sabertooth Z97, i7-4770K, GTX 780 SuperClocked, win7 64bit, and SSD´s.

But feel free to post it if you find a solution that works for your setup 🙂

WHA? is right. This has nothing to do with the current problem.
The Spooge driver settings which are edited in this file have nothing to do with operating system — only with the graphics card vendor and model.

for most if not all users by now the first line is the one that will be used, and that one is already:
allowdevice 1
on a fresh install of the game.

for example the allowdevice 0 in the 3dfx block will disallow all 3dfx made graphics cards which fail initialization AFTER that general setting in the first line. who still uses those?

in the ati and nvidia blocks (which i assume are the ones relevant today — perhaps some modern intel chips too, but the intel block is very specific about some very old chips used mostly in very old — read 10+ years — notebooks) there is no override of the first line of allowdevice, so you could not set those to 1 either — it’s already 1 from the general setting of the first line.

the rest of the settings are so old by now, they probably aren’t relevant vor most anybody and will be ignored if you don’t use a graphics card of those vendors (or specific models).

so thanks for your input, but this really is not the current problem people have starting the game.

i’d assume the problem is more in the line of an incompatibility with windows 8.1u (at least that’s what i’m running and the game doesn’t start for me — doesn’t write logs either, which it would do if it only did find the wrong graphics setting — i tested this by setting the general allowdevice to 0 — in that case the graphics config utility does not work — with setting to 1 the graphic configuration works, i can test the settings, see the space marine, finish the graphics config and then the game does nothing).

if it’s not windows 8.1u, it probably is an error which got introduced with the last patch. this is the reason why so many people want to hear from relic.

also: i ran dow goty on this specific machine earlier this year. could have been before the windows 8.1 update, definitely was before the windows 8.1u update. but hardware is the same. which further leads to the conclusion it is either windows 8.1u incompatibility — anyone here got the game running on win8.1u with a radeon graphics card? — or a patch problem specific to some of the users setups.

i would guess it’s nothing graphics related at all — after all i can view that space marine test from the graphics config utility. but what the real reason is? beats me.

also, i read somewhere here on the forums that someone had found an error message (i didn’t) saying something about an error with ntdll.dll which is not part of the game but part of windows. so from that info i gathered it might be a compatibility problem. sadly using the «compatibility settings» you can set for any executable in windows does not help me.

I made this post in january 2013, and for some reason it has got a lot more views in the past days.
I haven´t played the game for a long time, so this post was made as a solution that worked at that time.
You can`t (appearently) count it as input for the current issue, but if there is people out there with older systems who can solve their problems by using the solution i posted 1,5 years ago, then that´s fine.
I didn´t make this post 1,5 years ago, because I had a timetraveling evil plan about posting wrong fixes for issues that would first occur 1,5 years after the post was made.

I´m not trying to act like an idiot by giving people wrong fixes here; I have no way of knowing that it doesn´t work anyway as I don´t have the game installed currently.
The post was highly relevant and helpful at the time it was made — if that´s not the case anymore then that´s unfortunate, but you can´t blame my Jan 2013 post for that.

У меня’было несколько проблем с Dawn of War в течение многих лет, поэтому я решил поделиться своим опытом. Вы упомянули, что сделали некоторые из этих шагов, но ради здравомыслия я все равно перечислю их все:

Работа с тем, что у вас есть

Иногда разрешения и безопасность Windows могут мешать реальному использованию компьютера.

• Перейдите к месту, где была установлена папка Dawn of War. Скорее всего, это C:Program Files (x86)THQDawn of War.
• Найдите файл приложения игры .exe.
• Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши -> Свойства -> вкладка Совместимость
• Проверьте ‘Запуск этой программы в режиме совместимости’ и выберите Windows 7 (для начала попробуйте Windows XP SP3, если 7 не работает).
• Проверьте ‘Запуск этой программы от имени администратора’ также.
• Попробуйте запустить игру.

Драйверы, обновления и установки

Предполагая, что вы’дошли до этого, есть большая вероятность, что вам придется попробовать установить игру снова. но сначала мы можем попробовать обновить ваш компьютер и установить необходимые драйверы.

• Если у вас есть ожидающие обновления, перезагрузите компьютер, чтобы установить их. Вполне возможно, что одно из этих обновлений содержит недостающую или обновленную библиотеку Direct X или другой необходимый вам драйвер.
• Проверьте наличие и установите последнюю версию драйверов вашей видеокарты
• Полностью удалите игры, установите их снова, по одной за раз и убедитесь, что они работают.
• Если во время установки игра спросит, хотите ли вы также установить Direct X, убедитесь, что вы нажали ‘Да’ и следуйте подсказкам. (Я так давно не устанавливал автономную версию, что не могу вспомнить, делает ли это Dawn of War).
• Начните с Dawn of War, затем Winter Assault и, наконец, Dark Crusade (несмотря на то, что это самостоятельная версия, делайте это последним).

Отчаянные времена

Итак, вы выполнили все вышеперечисленные действия, а игра все еще не запускается. Согласно источнику на форумах Relic, вам может понадобиться поработать с некоторыми конфигурационными файлами.

Вкратце о шагах, приведенных в ссылке:

1. Полностью установите Dawn of War & Expansions

2. Перейдите в каталог Dawn of War C:Program Files (x86)THQDawn of War.

3. Найдите папку Drivers. Внутри этой папки находятся два файла, spdx9_config.txt и nvidia.txt.

4. Создайте папку под названием Originals и переместите в нее эти файлы. Оригинальные файлы могут понадобиться вам позже, если/когда вам понадобится скачать и установить обновления.

5. Создайте два пустых файла с теми же именами, что и файлы выше.

6. Поместите пустые файлы в Drivers и запустите игру. Надеюсь, она запустится нормально.

Автор советует не использовать опцию Window в конфигурации, так как он обнаружил в ней ошибки.

Редактирование: Я провел дополнительное расследование, и оказалось, что файл spdx9_config.txt на самом деле перечисляет совместимые видеокарты. К сожалению, игра была создана так, чтобы серьезно относиться к этому списку, и поскольку список никогда не обновлялся (по крайней мере, с точки зрения свежей установки), игра не работает, когда не может найти вашу видеокарту в списке.

К счастью, я’нашел обновленный файл (по состоянию на 19 декабря 2012 года), который я’вставил сюда. Скопируйте всю эту область прокрутки в ваш новый (пустой) файл spdx9_config.txt.
