==============================
För att uppdatera ditt nuvarande Dawn of War II är det bara att logga in på Steam, men förvänta dig långa nedladdningstider för den närmare 2GB stora uppdateringen. Det är tydligen många som tänker samma tanke. Däremot rekommenderas det att du delar med dig av effektiva nedladdningsländer i forumtråden.
Må kaoset vara med dig!
