Dawn of War 3 Patch Fixes Bugs and Game Crashes

Developers Relic Entertainment have delivered an important update for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 3, which tackles a number of game breaking bugs and fixes several relating to the game crashing.

Since the game launched recently, a number of people have had issues running Dawn of War 3 and the tea. The list of fixes brings with it the much needed "Surrender" in Multiplayer matches feature, something that players have been wanting since the Beta and can finally wave the white flag when being dominated in a game. Elsewhere, the patch also brings with it a fix to an annoying bug that would hinder progress in Mission 17 - to the point where you could not go any further. And multi-monitor users will also be happy as the game will now correctly display the correct resolutions for dual monitor players. You can take a look at the full patch notes below.

Less crashes keeps the Space Marines happy!
