An epic Shogun 2 patch has landed alongside the standalone expansion, Fall of the Samurai. If a dozen sumo wrestlers were to combine into a twelve foot tall Megazord of sumo wrestlers, the resulting horror would not be as large or fleshy as this update, which adds 40 vs. 40 units battles to multiplayer, 22 new land and sea maps to fight on, Steam cloud support, reduced battle load times, 'greatly reduced' AI turn times and some 3000 words worth of balance shifts and bug fixes. Bikkuri shita!
Hi everyone,
I recently picked up the Shogun 2 collection from Steam (which includes the main campaign plus Rise of the Samurai and around 7 other DLCs). The campaign runs beautifully, and so do battles - when they don't crash. Around 50% of the time, the game will crash either on the loading screen just before entering a battle, or during the battle itself. In both cases, the game music pauses for a second, then resumes, and then the game CTDs with a generic 'Shogun 2 has stopped working' error message. I've asked on several sites associated with the game, but haven't been able to find a fix. I'm running Windows 7, 32-bit. (The computer is set up for 64 bit, and has 12 GB of RAM, but only 3.2 GB are usable.) I have updated my Nvidia drivers, and edited the preferences file to prompt me whether to use Direct X 9 or Direct X 11 when the game starts up (since I have heard DX11 can cause trouble with the game.) I also made some changes to my virtual memory, via Performance Options. I set it to 8GB on the advice of a friend. I also vacuumed the interior of the computer, because y'know, they always say that. Anyway, any ideas on this issue would be really appreciated. I don't know a ton about computers. But it does seem strange to me that the game runs perfectly sometimes but crashes other times.
The fixes listed in the patch notes below affect every aspect of the game, from the campaign map, to the real time battles and multiplayer. There's a bit of good news for anyone who bought the Blood Pack for Shogun 2, it'll apply the same effects to Fall of the Samurai's battles, too. Here's the full change list.
