Dawn of War - Winter Assault (A Working Way No CD)

[sim_t_s]

Greetings from Germany!

Mount fixed DOW image with Daemon Tools (no emu)
Mount DOW WA CD1 Image with Daemon Tools (no emu, Image created with Blindwrite mount bwt file)
Delete disk1check (or rename)

This works fine for me with version 1.4 DOW

Hey guys i pretty much ran into the same problems as everyone else on these threads combined.
Then i found the solution!!!
make and image using the automatic setting of blindwrite 5, then install and play, the disc will recognize as an original disc. just rename all 4 original files from the CD1 dir: mir-wh40kwa.(bwi, btw etc..) and mount with Daemon tools!

Wooo hoooo am playing it right now

Let me know if this works so i can spread the word.!!!

Anybody know how to get Daemon Tools 3.47 to work? I keep getting an error when trying to install it that says..

"Some driver has invalid name or conflicts with other file or service in system. Please choose other driver names or make sure you have rebooted after removal of software using some names."

Ok after having the same problems as most messing with blindwrite and daemon tools i finally got it to work using the mini-image mounted in Daemon Tools with no emulation.

Try renaming the two files contained within the mini image from:

WA1.mdf
WA1.mds

to:

mir-wh40kwa.mdf
mir-wh40kwa.mds

Mount it in daemon tools and start the game, it worked for me!

Good luck.

(I also renamed the hidden file Disk1Check.exe to Disk1Check.exe.bak)

I don’t know if this works for some which it work for me
1. install Dawn of War
2. install Winter Assault
3. Get Dawn of War 1.40 cracked exe
4. Goto the Dawn of war directory and find WXP.module right click properties to turn off right protect. (it should be C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War)

5. open the file WXP.module, and look for the line DllName = WXPmod (or somthing similar)
and change it to look like this:
DllName = W40kMod
6. Then load the game as in dawn of war and not winter asault and there will be an option ‘Game Manager’ click that and then choose the Winter Assault option.
7.and the game work like charm .... minus the movie of winter assault

Hope this alternative route work
also thanks to a unknown foriegn website i got this game working

This method was marginally successful for me. I can't play multiplayer or the campaign but skirmishes work so thanks for that

The renaming of mds/mdf files did not work unfortunately

I know some other people who have got the cracks working perfectly but for some reason I get the "Disc cannot be located or authenticated" message for EVERY solution I've tried. It sucks >_<

I got the game working with the mini images. Been playing for two evenings. Now I got home and it wont work anymore. I didn't even reboot.

Now preasus playing-time is lost with every minute.

BTW: if u got the ShadowCast Release open the BWT-File with a texteditor to see why u cannt mount.

hey i've done exactly what u said....n winter assualts runs, but the problem is, when i try to run "new campaign" of winter assault, it give me this error "FATAL Scar Error - Execution Paused" .. and game become paused.

i can play only skirmish game of winter assualt, but unable to play campaign missions, please help

The crack isn't a crack, just an exploit... I would stick to the mini image if you want to play campaign and multiplayer. With the *fix* shall we call it, you can only play skirmish.
