- Tested with a Steam copy of both the base game and Chaos Rising with the GFWL downgrade applied. Launching either and going into the achievement section has a single entry - Dawn of War 2, though when Chaos Rising is launched, the entry will show 73 achievements available instead of the original Dawn of War II's 49.
