I'm thinking about getting this game, but there seems to be no widescreen in the original and winter assault which concerns me.

It's a big problem since 4:3 sucks on a widescreen monitor. Does the other expansions add widescreen to the first games?

I don't want to buy dow 2 cause it's much more expensive and I'm not sure how it will run.

I'm pretty sure that DC can run widescreen. But DoW2 shouldn't be much more expensive. How much is this complete collection? You should be able to run it.

£13, approximately half the price of Dow 2

Yeah, have thought about getting it but, the problem is with the resolution. I know dark crusade and soulstorm have got widescreen but the first two haven't. And from what I've read it's not possible to add either.

DoW 1 and DoW winter assault are letterboxed and have a bugged minimap when playing on widescreen resolutions, it's practically unplayable. Dark Crusade and Soulstorm have stretched HUD but the game itself is WS. Dawn of War 2 is the only one with proper ws support. And if you're going to play them all, play them in order. I can't touch Dawn of War 1 after playing DoW 2, it's just much much better.

I have no problems at all playing DoW 1 or any of the expansions on my widescreen @ 1680x1050 resolution, nor do I have any issues with the mini-map being bugged.

Then you haven't patched the game to the latest version (DoW 1 and WA).

Yes, I have all the up to date patches installed. that's probably why I'm not having any issues...but never really had any problems with the screen resolution or mini-map with any of these games since they were released. But for those that are experiencing issues, the patches are a big help.
