If you are unable to launch the game, make sure you try launching in Safemode (No Mods)

This can be found when hitting the play button in your steam library, if it does launch you will want to try to disable any mods from the workshop.

You will need to contact the author of the mod to figure out why this is occuring. It could be because the mod is not up to date, in which case give them some time to update it.

If you have a [NO SDL] file error, you can fix this by cleaning your steam cloud, to do this follow these steps.

1. Find MoW AS2 in your steam library
2. Right click and select properties.

-reset_cloud_profiles

4. Now locate Documents / My Games / Men of War Assault Squad 2

6. Launch the game.

If you are trying to join a game and receive this, it could mean that you have a mod enabled, or the host has a mod enabled. You can disable your mods in your options under the mod tab. If you want to join a modded game you will need to go to the workshop and download said mods.


In some cases some users downloads are corrupted and display the wrong version, this can be fixed by going to your men of war install folder

You will see files named 1.pat 2.pat 3.pat etc.
Delete these files, now go to your steam library and select mow as2 properties, and verify the integrity of the game.

The game will need access to your C:/ drive, if you do have it on a seperate drive make sure its speeds are that of an internal hard drive. Having it installed on a slower external hard drive can lead to long caching times and you will want to install the game on the internal drive to prevent this.

Out of sync errors can occur and are something that you are not able to prevent. If they occur restart your game to clean out your shader cache and you can begin playing again. We are working to resolve these issues.

Make sure you do not have a firewall blocking peer2peer connections. You will also want to make sure that the ports required are open. These ports can be found in this article.
