Star Trek Armada 2 was released in 2001, so it’s quite old now. This causes problems with newer systems, with modern drivers and software.

If you search the internet you’ll find a few different ways to try and get Armada 2 to run. I’ve tried them all and this ‘How to…’ is the method that is easiest, quickest and supports the most people.

Below is a list of what you will need…

• The Star Trek: Armada 2 ‘STA2_Classic’ mod – Available from moddb.com you can download it here
• Fleet Ops – If you don’t have this installed already, please follow our ‘How to… Fleet Ops‘
• Star Trek: Armada 2 – The game. Either as your CD or if you have managed to acquire an .iso rip of the CD, or check My Abandonware

The assumption is that you are running Windows 10.
