Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 - Retribution Message Board  

Right those that are having issues with crashing on Authentication. This means you need to rollback your IE to IE9.

Dosent matter if you do not use it as the trainer does and requires IE 9. Note Win8 users can not rollback to IE9.

Instructions as follows.

1. Click the Start button,
2. Click the Control Panel,
3. Click Programs and Features,
4. Click on View Installed Updates on the left-hand side,
(Internet Explorer 10/11 will be shown as an automated update),
5. Right click and choose Uninstall,
(This process takes a little while so be patient and do not be tempted to stop the program while it is deleting Internet Explorer 10/11. Soon you will be asked to reboot the computer for this change to take effect. Do reboot as this will reset the computer to the former version of Internet Explorer 9/10).

Note if you have IE11 you many have to do these steps again!

That's a shame. Is there any workaround or solution for those who are using Win 8? I note the 6123 build of the trainer says it's compatible with Win 8, so is that a good sign?

Well the ones that say compatible with win 8 work on win 8 systems. So you should not need to worrie about doing the fix stated above.

Just a quick note here; When looking up the IE updates in Win 7 64bit you my have to (Like I did) goto your windows update settings in the control panel and find the update history to find the appropriate (KB xxxxxxxx)file number for it, and then follow Toki's instructions. Worked perfectly for me.

Big Thanks to Toki and PWizard for the info

Doom: Peace!
