Nowawdays, I have to say that I approach each and every purchase with trepidation, knowing that there's the good chance that the whole game or at least some important part of it won't work, and that the issue will be essentially unfixable. Back when Steam worked for me, buying a game was exciting. I'm not annoyed about this as much as a tad despondent. Added to that is the mess that is the inability to save in the Commandos games and I've got a half dozen unplayable games that cost money to buy that the forums say are broken and can't be fixed. The list of games that I have on here that don't work is Toy Soldiers, Tunnel Rats and STALKER, and now Shogun Total War 2 - representing a loss of money approaching the unacceptable. I find that attitude to be a bit snarky and it puts me off buying anything from Steam at all. Well so far I (and it seems a lot of people) have paid money for a game that we cannot get to work and the tone of the forums appears to be that if you aren't smart enough to fix it yourself, tough.
TOTAL WAR SHOGUN 2 CRASH ON STARTUP 64 BIT
I'm running a 3.60 GHz AMD 8 core processor with 16 GB of RAM in a 64 bit Windows 7 Operating System and so far all that the game has managed to do is crash the computer every time I have tried to start the game, never once proceeding beyond the splash screen.ĭoes anybody else have any thoughts? I looked through here too ***Before-You-Post-in-the-Total-War-Shogun-2-Support-Forum-Please-Read-First!***?s=7c70f9e43e12e851e520c08ba132197e and nothing that's said works. Tried the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\redist\vcredist_x86.exe stuff that Steam suggest - no joy I have tried a few things in my quest to get past the splash page (I downloaded STW2 complete with all DLC in the sale and have yet to do anything with it but crash the whole computer)ĭeleted the preferences file from the Empire Total War folder (there wasn't one in the STW2 folder) As long as I launch from the shortcut I created manually it works fine, but it takes almost a minute to get past the splash screen. Even till this day if I launch from Steam or a Steam created shortcut the game freezes on the splash screen. Bam the game would launch & play again after months of no joy. I created a desktop shortcut direcetly from the Shogun 2 exe., I also went into the properties of the Shogun 2 exe & changed it to always run as administrator. I found an extremely simple fix for myself. Ever so much awaited Rome 2 shall wait untill this problem is solved. Never ever have I been so dissapointed of by a gamesupport.
