Issues unresolved
Marine frigate capture bug
Marine frigates are unable to capture enemy vessels. Once the capture-order has been completed, ship control is never transferred, even with repeated attempts.
This is not a bug. Relic disabled the ability to capture ships that build other ships in Single Player.
Black screen, then crash on startup for AMD cards
Issues fixed
Windows Vista/7 compatibility fix
Use the German cracked executable or completely disable DEP.[2]

Choppy/laggy camera movement on Windows 7 fix
Enable Vsync via the PLAYERCFG.LUA file found in Homeworld2/Bin/Profiles/Profile1 by editing it with a simple text editor. This will force the game to enable Vsync if the game crashes when you select Vsync in the Options menu ingame.
Obsolete video card driver error message fix for modern Nvidia cards
