jivjov posted:Just got a 60 mb patch for Shogun 2 with no patch notes. Anyone have any idea what got added/changed? From CA: Hi all, Here's a few minor patch notes for today's little fix. Fix for Co-operative Multiplayer Campaign victory conditions. The campaign will end when the victory conditions are met. Increased the variant texture cache size on low, medium and high graphics settings to prevent bodies from twitching on the battle map. Added DLC requirement string to Saints and Heroes unit tool tips in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Czech, Russian and Polish on the veteran selection screen. The download bar will now show for clients when downloading user generated multiplayer battle maps. Unit names will now appear correctly above the selected units in the unit stats roster in the battle lobby. Desynchronisation / desync fix for Multiplayer Campaign. Thanks, CraigTW The Creative Assembly

I think Rome was massively more successful though just because it's easier to get non-history-nerds interested when it's not sprite-based.

Medieval might have been a simpler game, but I feel that a lot of the complexity added to Rome took it a step backwards (squalor, senate missions) and took some of the magic out of the battles by making the campaign more heavy, but in a clunky way. It needed to be done, of course, without it we wouldn't have the culmination of all that improvement in Shogun 2 making it the first game that really has the same sort of baked in fun that Medieval had. Chivalric Men at Arms for life. Honourary mention to Gothic Knights too!

Afaik you have to set your maximum available ram down to 2gb in your windows. Googling around for that should yield something.

Looking at the original MTW's age and system requirements, running it under VirtualBox might actually be easier than getting it to run natively if you have a good computer.

It also helps that the battle and campaign ais took a bit of a tumble in the move to 3D that they only recently recovered from. I'd kill for a HD remake or even just one that smoothed over the interface issues and made it easier to run

I'm trying to test out two different NTW mods to see which I like better. They both install poo poo ontop of the main folder and require a launcher to run. Is it possible to make a copy of my game so that I can install a mod on each copy, then swap them out in my steam folder? Otherwise I have to reinstall napoleon and the mods (which are not user friendly) every time I want to change them out.

Good lord I hope so but just the thought of playing Total War naval engagement where the primary objective of both sides is to ram each other makes me want to vomit. Doubly so for multiplayer.

brozozo posted:I take issue with that caption. I thought the naval warfare in Empire and Napoleon were top notch and a hell of a lot of fun. I know they had issues (boarding was always wonky, wasn't it?), but it seemed like one of the more solid features in the two games. Given how terrible both Shogun and FoTS's naval battles are, it's not a high bar. But yeah, I thought Napoleon in particular was very good. The problem is that in Total War games Naval Warfare in general is little more than a way of spring-boarding armies across the map. And you can fit a full land stack on a dinky little corvette and get it from shore to shore without difficulty. And once the army is landed you don't need it anymore. That all needs to change for ships to be worthwhile in Total War games.

But that wouldn't fit with the way Total War games play at all. My main issue with naval poo poo was that fighting with the wind was kind of unfun and it could take way too long to fight even smaller engagements. The naval combat in Napoleon was pretty much good, though. It was fun as long as battles weren't too common.

Going to be the 3rd guy to agree that with that Napoleons sea battles were a lot more fun and balanced compared to Empire. Shame about the Marines though.

Whenever I try to play my copy of Shogun 2 on Steam, it launches, then closes out with a little error box saying my copy is "corrupted" and that it's a common problem with pirated copies of the game. Thing is, I did not pirate it! I tried deleting my scripts folder / clientregistry.blob and verifying the integrity of the files, but it still pops up that error. Has anyone else gotten / fixed this bug?

Right click on the game entry on steam and go to Properties. Under Local Files click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

Yeah, I tried that a couple of times, but it didn't seem to do anything at all. One thing I read suggested that I delete the scripts folder, then verify the integrity, but that didn't work either.

Zettace posted:I felt that FOTS' naval bombardment made navies actually useful. Small armies could actually win battles against larger armies with naval support which made having navies quite useful. I know this won't be possible in Rome but they could perhaps make it so navies could supply your troops so they can reinforce in enemy territory. I would prefer if they allowed navies to have a much larger role. I'm not keeping the most up to date, so I'm kind of foggy on the specifics, but I'm pretty sure Rome is going to have some kind of hybrid land/sea battles thing going on. E: Now that I've gotten off my lazy rear end and googled it, it looks like you'll be able to do landings using boats, along with the ranged support thing coming back from FotS. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it seems like a really cool idea to me. Cakeequals fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Aug 23, 2012 |

Has anyone else gotten / fixed this bug? I had the same problem continuously, ended up reinstalling the game and then only running it when steam was in offline modus, that seemed to fix it for me. Perhaps it's related to multiplayer security against mods/cheats or something. If you're playing multiplayer you could also try and remove any mods you might have, even if they're only for campaign.

I managed to fix it by closing Steam, deleting both AppUpdateStats.blob and ClientRegistry.blob, then going into Appdata/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Shogun2 and deleting the army_setups, battle_preferences, fx_cache, ui_cache, and Scripts folders, then re-verified the integrity of the install. Kind of a pain in the rear end but at least me and my buddy can finish our campaign now!  Hopefully this helps anyone else out that has crashing issues.

Is it normal for TW games to get temperamental with hardware changes? I had to replace my monitor this week, and now when I want to play Napoleon or Shogun 2, my computer will occasionally lock up. It doesn't do this with other games, just the Total War ones. Any ideas?
