Mods
- Dawn of War has a "Game Manager", enabling switching between mods very easy.
Bug Fix Modification
Full details of this modification are here. Soulstorm was a very incomplete expansion, and due to the demise of Iron Lore Entertainment shortly after its release, there was little to no post-launch support.
- This mod intends to fix a majority of "obvious" bugs (such as upgrades doing less damage than their originals) and implements advanced Skirmish AI.
- Highly recommended for those who play solo (skirmish/campaign).
- Also recommended for those who play online, but all players must have this mod installed.
- This mod breaks Campaign movies. (Fix provided on mod download page)
Dawn of War Professional
An extremely dedicated group of individuals put together this "alternative" version of Dawn of War. While an acquired taste and significantly different to the base game, it offers a more intricate and interesting experience, with unit roles switched up, some upgrades that were removed in expansions restored, and additional content created by the community. All units are designed to play a role until late game. The mod can be downloaded here.

Anti-aliasing (AA)
- Forcing AA will render fonts blurry and harder to read.
- Forcing AA via graphics driver will result in greater AA. INI fix is probably only 2x AA.
