For those suffering under Win 11 due to easy anti cheat the following method worked for me on at least making single player work. Right click the game in your steam library, general and put the following into launch options: "YOURDRIVELETTER:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Battlefleet Gothic Armada II\BattlefleetGothic2\Binaries\Win64\BattlefleetGothic2-Win64-Shipping.exe" -NoEAC %COMMAND% Modify the path as needed and obviously replace YOURDRIVELETTER: with, well, your drive letter eg.: C: or wherever you have the game installed. And yes you have to put the part before -NoEAC %COMMAND% between "" Normally the -NoEAC flag does not work unless you specify the path to the MAIN binary, not the one immediately in the folder. And yes the %COMMAND% part is important. Solution is not mine, found it on reddit so thanks Reddit (won't link from who as their account is nsfw as it turns out). Feel free to uninstall EAC also, f--king pointless anyway and I'm not going to disable stack protection for one game. Devs don't seem to give a s--t so I hope the above helps someone. Game is good otherwise if you are into 40k and RTS, recommend even despite the above.

Solid 40k. Don't know a lot about Navy-focus RTS, but this one is pretty straight forward with an easy learning curve. It isn't the most in depth in terms of faction management, and in battle micro can get tedious, but the campaign difficulty has a customization that allows for practically every level of player, outside maybe the most plugged in no-life's. Solid fun for any RTS fan and a must play for any casual 40k fan. (Also buy the full collection on sale, there's no more content coming out for this game). BIGGEST DRAWBACK IS THAT THE GAME REQUIRES ONLINE CONNECTION AND ANTI-CHEAT EVEN IN SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN, but you can play it offline if you yank your internet out of your house and mail it to the studio with a note saying "F*** YOU!". I really detest this modernism in gaming where everything requires a nanny-state connection to a server and now 3rd party software to run hand-in-hand with your stand alone purchase.

---{ Graphics }--- ☑ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS Tindalos did an AMAZING job bringing the ships of 40K to life. Gorgeous doesn't begin to cover it. It's several years old at this point but I'm still gobsmacked by the attention to detail on all these ships, and the weapon effects are also great. ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't It's not the same as the tabletop game, but is still fun. The factions also offer a wide variety of play styles to choose from. ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf The sounds aren't grating and the music is good and very 40K/Gothic in nature. The soundtrack is a little short though at under 30 minutes. ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma It's a 40K game. Kids have no place here. Grandmas probably won't get the appeal either. ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer You need a decent comp to run it. Mine's several years old and can run it well enough after it finishes loading. The loading can take a while, however. ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☑ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data 40-ish GB installed ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls The difficulty is a bit of a sliding scale. Some factions are easier to get the hang of than others, which require either much more micromanagement or knowing exactly what you're doing to be called skilled with them. The Campaigns are a bit steeper to master, I would say. The "urgency" mechanic (or whatever it is called), while absolutely making sense lore-wise, is a bit of a pain to work around if you prefer to slowly build up your forces and don't like being rushed. This can now be disabled. ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding No grind. Build your fleet, battle. Profit. ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life it's set in the 40k universe so there is a large amount of lore they draw from. The campaigns are... decent, but not ground breaking in their storytelling. ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☑ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond The campaigns give you some good replayability and if you can find opponents or friends to play with, you can accumulate a good amount of hours, but I cannot call it limitless. ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money At this point BFG Armada 2 is only like $20 US, which is pretty cheap and you will get your money's worth out of it. ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Only ever encountered a very rare bug or two, and nothing that broke the game for me. ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10 I would love to give it a 10/10 because I love 40K and the tabletop Battlefleet Gothic immensely but it's not a perfect game. I would have liked to have seen some of the scenarios available from the BFG Armada and tabletop appear here but they are missing. Point capture is not really true to BFG. Still, it's the best adaptation of the tabletop BFG were are ever going to get and the fact they got all 12 fleets into it is astounding. A type of based building / expansion mode akin to a more traditional RTS would have been interesting to include, even if nothing like the tabletop. ---{ Author }--- ☑ https://vojtastruhar.github.io/steam-review-template

The game uses an older version of Unreal Engine, which contains an old (bugged) version of OpenSSL, which can cause the game to crash shortly after launch. A more in-depth description can be found on Intel's website: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/troubleshooting/openssl-sha-crash-bug-requires-application-update.html Luckily, there exist some workarounds that prevents the game from crashing (at least on my system). If the game crashes shortly after launch, try to set an environment variable as described here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/573100/discussions/0/3196993316877456645/ If the game still crashes, try to deactivate Easy AntiCheat: https://steamcommunity.com/app/573100/discussions/0/4291439052527332362/ Note that you cannot play multiplayer if you deactivate Easy AntiCheat. On the other side, you have to deactivate Easy Anticheat anyways if you want to use mods.
