I have a copy of the original 40K game along with the Dark Crusade standalone. Sadly, while moving back into college I left the original game at home and only have Dark Crusade with me. Will I be able to play as all of the races from the original game or just the new ones introduced with Dark Crusade?

To play with all 7 races, you MUST have DOW and WA installed before installing DC. After that, when you enter Dark Crusade, the game will ask you to enter CD-keys for DOW and WA and thus unlock races in MP mode. However if you are don't have the petience to install all three games (like me), or you simply don't have the CDs with you there are 2 alternate solutions:

1.download somewhat illegal race unlockers (it's legal if you have 2 previous games) OR

2.edit registry base by adding in Dawn of War Dark crusade registry following lines:

W40KCDKEY and then type in your cd key AND

WXPCDKEY and then type in your WA cd key

To enter registry type "regeit"in run from start then open HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE, then expand SOFTWARE and find THQ and there DAWN OF WAR DARK CRUSADE. To create new registry entry right-click and select NEW->String Value. Hope it helps.

PSI'm sick of this letters sticking with one another,why does this happen?

EDIT:Yes,I forgot to mention that you can play with all 7 races offline, but to play with all 7 races online read the above.It's just when somebody asks that question, first thing that comes to my mind is that they are asking is for MP.

In SP you can play all 7 races, but if you wanna play more than 2 races online you'll need to add the cd-key.

Online, you are required to have the original game & Winter Assault installed if you want the previous 5 races.
If you lack the two previous games, you can only play as the Necrons and Tau online.

You can however, play as all 7 races offline/singleplayer, even if you only have Dark Crusade installed.

Thanks for the help guys. I won't even be able to play online even if I wanted to since my school blocks the port and the connection blows.
