If using OW 2.0+, try changing your renderer to OGL instead ( guide )
On Windows 8, the game runs very slow for some people, and for others it just crashes with CreatePrimSurface failed error. Yes, I know it says Windows 8 not supported on the store page, but this is not an excuse for me :)

So I recently made a jump on Linux Mint (thanks to microsoft pissing me off) and of course, I had to try install Original War on it. At the end it wasn't really that hard, but I decided to write here a little guide since for people new to linux even the simplest of issues can take hours to solve....
It's most likely that all Original War players once had a text that suddenly shows up in their multiplayer game: Synchronization lost , which caused the game to crash.
However, Stucuk has added a variable in his previous released patches that prevents the game from crashing even if the...
A simple guides, which are explaining the basic setups for Original War. It was recorded in response to your questions and problems. You would find info such as: setting options in your OW launcher (with a focus on renderer type and single resolution); setting OW parameters in your Steam client and...
Hi fellow Original War fans.
I recently bought the Steam version of our beloved old game and it seems to be struggling with scaling to fullHD.
While the UI scaling is present in the options, it is grayed out (and still editable), but does not change anything.
SpecOps , as it currently stands, is a PoC for a mod that would triple the amount of content per map basis.
The main concept is using all three difficulties to adjust for what the map has to offer. They (difficulties) work as before, their functions remain the same. The addition...
Make it clear to the player that he must build an vehicle armed with siberite bomb so that the russian general does not fire the siberite bomb into his base.
I had built an missile silo -> he fired the missile,
thought it may be related to position of missile silo, so built it at initial Powell's...
I am currently working on reworking Am15a / Ru15a so seemingly hidden og bugged features are enabled. One of them are the Americans and/or Russians building the siberite bomb. The cooldown for doing so seems ridiculously high: (220 min for easy, 150 min for medium, 100 min for hard). What do you...
Some of you may know about the Protection stat in the Vehicles.txt file. It is not shown in the game, but every vehicle got some value of protection. Does actually anyone know what it does?
At first I thought it might have something to do with how much damage driver takes from incoming fire. I...
I'm doing some bugfixing on Am15a 7 Ru15a. If you tried to negotiate with New Kaaba in Am13a / Ru13a Omar may join you in Am15a / Ru15a. What I don't understand is that if you accept him then that's it. He won't ever try to contaminate any siberite deposit. Doesn't seem to fit his character in my...
just some suggestion for multiplay/normal game patch for arabian :
1. make arabian can build siberite rocket on their own.. even if it just on their manual turret
2. make desert warrior can be train on depot instead
3. make desert warrior fastest unit (speed 13-15) so his sword is useful
4. make...
Like i said in the tittle i would like to merge the Hack Mod with Arabian Campaign mod. :rurazz:
Currently i have created a new folder to copy all the files of the two mods in it, and the hack mod works for american and russian campaign. Unfortunately in arabian campaign the hack...
Witam wszystkich
Po kilku latach postanowiłem pograć sobie ponownie w Original War oraz pobawić się w tworzenie własnych modów. Mam jednak problem z wersją 3.0.8.246 (steam) w takcie tworzenia moda nie mogę
wstawić lub uzupełnić trawy. W starszych wersjach modów problem ten nie występuje. Mam...
Here is a mod intended to refresh the well known game. It is introducing some previously unused content and ideas, as well as enhancing the technical side of the game. Only Russian campaign (without the alliance part) is done so far.
Major changes:
- New skirmish mode.
- Implemented some...
I have Original War with Polish dubbing. I tried to launch Original War in English. Menus and other stuff are in English, but both campaigns still have Polish subtitles.
Subtitles work nicely in Polish, Russian, Czech and Italian versions. I didn't bother checking the rest of viable languages....
I'm pretty new here, but i'm in love with OW since the beginning. I've finished campaigns again and again and discover, later, mods (arabs :arhello: ) and the Map Editor ! I don't script, i don't know anything about this and I only use the editor in one way ...
Let's make Original War great again!
I have hit on English part of the modbase recently and I am devastated by the fact that most of the mods are Polish Language Only!. How come some of the greatest mods haven't been translated into English yet? But don't worry, the help is coming. I am a second...
Sand of Siberia is a mod I've been working on, with breaks, for two years. The idea of the mod originated in 2008 when, from the lack of Arabian campaign, I was wondering how could it look like.
At first, Heike was meant to be the protagonist of mod's Arabian campaign, but as she's going to be...
Hello, i have installed patch 2.0.3.5, then drag and dropped LangENG.owp into game's main folder to change language from Cze into En, the texts did change but any audio(and the cutscenes too) remaint in Cze language, where exactly must this LangENG.owp stay at so the game recognizes and uses it ?...
Game Ctd 2 times with error log generated, both something about memory access violation. cutscene got stuck once without crash, do issues like those also go on the bug tracker ?
I've been wondering how you make those mountains and cliffs in the map editor. The option is either right there in my face, or I require an external program. Help? Oh and hi :arhello:
So lately I've been trying to create a map for OWar as a helping hand for another modder. The idea was for me to basically design just a landscape and allow the other guy to do his magic.
Buuut when I tried to open my map (select the mod -> check open map -> go to the skirmish folder where it was...
As I have already discussed this with McBenn and received his opinion about it - I'd like others to share their thoughts.
While discussing the topic of Ar14 in Arabian Campaign, which takes place in one of the Muddy River Arabian bases, I came up with an idea of naming them. According to Am11,...
I'd like to provide you some my maps - old maps or unused maps from my mod. You can use it as you wish :?
So, good luck with creating of your missions :P
There's the first map that I can give you :)
Map size: 100 x 70
Info: There's no water, appropriate for one of the first...
Modification of Absolute Dominion shows the desire of Russia for control of the world.
To do this, they stepped back in time to protect their national good which is Alaskite .
They were aware of the presence of the Americans, but . . .
The Americans and the Russians didn't expect the appearance of...

Hey guys, I have both Disc and Steam versions of Owar (I got the steam one incase anything happened to discs) but currently only have the disc version installed. When i enter a lobby I am unable to change my name and it is locked as my Steam account name. I know this sounds a bit trivial and isn't...
Hey buddies! Does anybody of you have an idea of which UDP or TCP ports does OW use? It'd be very useful since I've been trying to connect through the in-game lobby and all tries have been unsuccesful . Thanks in advance.
I didn't know you can have a soldier Level 5 whose experience is inferior to 1000. I mean it sounds a bit steeupit. Doesn't it? Unless it means Experience in the Future, or previous to Embarking through the EON . That should explain why Prof. Scholtze has such a high level and so small experience ....
I have tried to add waves to my map... but unsuccessfully. Which colours have dots on the start of the red line ? In my case, I have a water effect everywhere on the map (Units have foots under the water).
Please, who knows a faithful method, answer it in detail. Thanks.
I had an idea of using the AI code from the Arab campaign to control AI in a multiplayer and also a singleplayer skirmish type map. (Of course, I take no credit for the maps, I just play them for fun :D) I just require the computer bases to do exactly what they do in the likes of ar4 and ar15a...
After updating I have gotten a problem with the interface. I had the same problem after I updated to .13 but sadly i cannot remember how it was fixed so hopefully someone can help me.
As seen in the photo attached, the map is black except for units and doesn't show fog or current line of sight....
French community is glad to present you an english version of their arabian mod named Warsibérite ! The mod is from 2007, developers were Noire Apocalypse and Human Ktulu - translation by Morgan (Commandux).
Hi all! ;)
I bought this awesome game on steam, but when i launch the game i have no sound...
I'm running on windows 7 64 bits and i really don't understand... So if you can help me! ;)
How to upgrade building b_bunker to automatic turret? I tried ComUpgrade function, but nothing happens.
There's maybe a collision between upgrade and downgrade, because bunker allows both.
I also check Skirmish maps, where bunker upgrade is, but there are just some macros, which I don't...
Does anyone got strange Range check errors? It's quite strange because I used to play OW without any problems until 04.03 (my last save from the campaign). I was playing Arabian Campaign and when I tried to load next mission (07) - error appeared. I was thinking it's a problem with ArCamp07 only,...
Hello, I am one of the few people who are translating articles to czech language. But I like to edit some articles becouse they are not completed. You know, something is wrong, or missing or new and so I change it or add it.
All images in these articles are saved somewhere in some upload place, but...
