• Shogun 2 Gamefaqs

@Extremezone, you forgot half of their nfo, its not really nice to delete that because it is their 1000st release!proper NFO:Special Announcement:Release #1000!Two boys sit on a train, in rural areas of a low density populated partof the world. There and then they form a pact that will forever changethe course of the computer industry, marking a shift in culture that issoon to reach far and beyond their own expectations, and the horizon oftheir own vision. There and then, the group FairLight was born.April 1987 was the year when the infant was conceived. The infant isnow a grown man at the age of 23 who made significant impressions onCommodore 64, Amiga, Super Nintendo and the PC scenes, both for demo andcracks.

Drawing from the best elements of the famous Shogun’s first edition and Total War series, Total War Shogun 2 offers one of the most realistic turn-based strategies ever. Set in the dark, gloomy times of the XVI century feudal Japan, it will be a real test for your leadership skills. The new island of Ezo extends the SHOGUN 2 campaign map northwards. Fully refreshed towns and other campaign map features reflect the new time period, with railways making their first appearance.

Today we celebrate a historic day, a day few people would evenenvisage could ever come - FairLight celebrates it's 1000th release!Well, this is naturally not entirely correct, it's release #1000 onPC ISO which followed hundreds of on C64, Amiga, SNES and earlierPC floppy scene appearing in parallel, or the dozens of mind boggling demosever seen on most consumer hardware. So, rejoice and celebrate today as youare one of those who can taste yet another fruit, resulting from ourblood, sweat and skills. Hours, days, weeks and months have been spent- both screen time and in some cases also prison time, for you to enjoy ourwork.

Rejoice and celebrate with us, the efforts earning your respect. Weare still here; we are still the sentinels of a world free of copyprotections. We are still here as we were built stronger to last longer.We are FairLight, standing up for quality, tradition and pride!The FairLight council stands with eyes wet in admiration from the workof the PC ISO section. 'Boys, you have all done well. You bow to no one!' We are proud to be the first gameISO group reaching #1000 gameISO releases.FairLight started the gameISO division in late 1998 and is still going.For your pleasure, check the FairLight dir for all the #1000 nfo's, and thereleases.txt for all the game releases both in the included zip-file.Special thanks to our lost/retired members that made this possible!In April 2012 we will celebrate our 25th anniversary.

Stay tuned!:). WARNING!!!!!infinite amount of morons out there that dont know what false positives are, rather mean calling uploader a POS because your an idiot.

And u are an idiot, nearly all 'pirated' games will have those 'viruses ' your getting so maybe by a dildo and learn how to use it for your entertainment instead.Sheldon: Why are you crying?Penny: Because I'm stupid!Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad.

For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad. I have installed the game without any problems. When I start the game I have to wait a minute or so before intro begins (maybe something is wrong with my computer). Can't confirm that the game wont crash on 50.

Turn, because I have just installed it and started camaign and a custom battle without problems.I also tried to create multiplayer campaign (lan) without success. When I click on host game, enter name and click ok it just says failed to host game. Can we play multiplayer over lan?Anyway big THANKS to extremezone and the fairlight. IF YOUR INSTALLATION ISNT WORKING THEN TRY THIS, IT WORKED FOR ME!

BUT YOU MUST DO IT IN THIS ORDER!1/ mount disc 1 and open the installer in the fairlight folder2/ when it asks for disc 2 you MUST leave disc 1 mounted and click 'next' on the installer3/ the installer should say 'cannot find.sid file do you want to search manually?' Or something similiar4/ with disc 1 still mounted click 'YES'5/ UNMOUNT disc 1 and MOUNT disc 26/ Click on the.sid file in DISC 2This method is the only way i got it past%98 but you have to do it in that order.this worked for me. I hope it works for you. Alright, here's the problem I'm running into. Installed fine, loads fine.

Everything is peachy until I actually get to the campaign map. The problem is that there are no roads/trails, no water, and no territory lines.Picture the game, except the water is invisible and all of the territory lines are missing. Also, whenever I select a unit on the Campaignscreen, it doesn't tell me how far it can move and how much movement is left.All of this combined makes the game pretty hard to play.

Anyone else having this problem? Hi Guys, Thank You Uploader, installed without any problems, game runs fine.Windows 7 64 Ultimate: Installation -1. Using, Ultra ISO, Open Folder ( Shogun Download Folder ) ' TotalWarShogun2READNFO-FLT2. There Will Be Two ISO Files flt-sh2a.iso, flt-sh2b.iso, Open the first file 'a' open with Ultra ISO3.

If your having problems with Graphics, update drivers, Bios, C,.net framework ect.2. Or Buy a new Computer. Having a slight problem with installation here. I ran the FairLight installer no problem, got to 100% just fine, however when it asked me if I wished to install the updates and crack, I had to do that manually. I extracted the updatecommon.zip and the English zip, and now I don't have a Shogoun2.exe in the directory I installed it in.

Where specifically do I have to extract these files too? I have a feeling that the update files did something to the.exe file, because I had it in the directory before I extracted the.zips.

@WeLoveFreeG4M3SFriend, 01 Jooce already answered your question. I had the same problem as you and it worked for me:Jooce01IF YOUR INSTALLATION ISNT WORKING THEN TRY THIS, IT WORKED FOR ME!

Shogun 2 Gamefaqs

Shogun 2 is currently on sale for $39.99 at Amazon! You can find Shogun 2 on sale here. How to Install Shogun 2: Total War from CD / DVDIf you want to install the game from the disc rather than having Steam download it for you, then perform the below steps. Not that those on a Macintosh (Mac) operating system will not be able to do this.1) Load and Log in to Steam2) Click on Library and then right click on the game - Delete Local Content3) Insert the CD into your disc drive4) Exit Steam, then go to Start - Run — and type:“C:Program FilesSteamSteam.exe” -install E:This will launch Steam from the specified location and install from your E drive. Make sure to alter this to correspond to your settings of your Steam is located elsewhere or your CD/DVD drive is located elsewhere.5) Hit OK, login, and have fun installing!Sponsored:Install Locks / Freezes, Decrypting Files or Verifying Game Cache StuckUnfortunately, it appears many people are having this issue. Particularly when verifying the game cache it may halt at 74%. You can try the following steps to remedy it:— Patiently waiting, as it may eventually finish (it commonly takes a long time for this game specifically)If after waiting a while (really, give it some time) it still doesn’t install or the percentage is still stuck, then try:— Close, then re-open Steam— Restart the process— Delete the game and all traces of it, then reinstall— Installing from the disc instead (if you have a copy).

Enabling Anti-Aliasing (AA) & VSYNC For Total War: Shogun II – NVIDIA Graphics Card Method 1AThis game does not come with an anti aliasing option. Enabling Anti-Aliasing (AA) & VSYNC For Total War: Shogun II – NVIDIA Graphics Card Method 1BIf the menus are different for you, then you may have a different NVIDIA Control Panel. Try the following instead:1) Load the NVIDIA Control Panel2) Under “3D Settings” choose “Manage 3D settings” in the menu, then under the Program Settings tab select the game from the drop down menu if it is present, otherwise click “Add” and navigate to the game’s EXEHere you can mess with sampling, triple buffering, vertical sync, gamma correction, texture quality, GPU acceleration, and antialiasing.

Simply override instead of using the global settings. Hit “Apply” when done.

Getting Limited Edition / Pre-Order ExtrasIf you have the limited edition or preordered the game, then you might be wondering how to redeem the extras / gifts that come with it. It features things like units and armor. You’ll find the code in your game box.

Simply load Steam and enter it there. General Fixes: Lag / Black Screen / Crash to Desktop / C2D CTDThis is a pretty broad title, I know. A lot of the fixes for this are the same though.

It would be redundant to keep them separated. This also includes fixes for launch failure / failed to open, which isn’t uncommon.— Try running Total War: Shogun 2 in Windows XP compatibility mode through right clicking the exe - properties - compatibility and selecting it there.— Patch the game when you can— Restart the computer— Revalidate your game cache to make sure it isn’t corrupted— Update your drivers (i.e. Video card drivers) to the latest version. This generally not only provides you with an increase in frames per second (FPS) to help with stuttering or lagging, but can provide game fixes for things like weird textures, artifacts on the screen, pixilation, game crashes, and more. If you know any other game fixes for Total War: Shogun 2, then please share them!

Don’t know if they are present only at first load of the game or it is because of some settings, but markers are quite helpful, often I don’t even know which unit is currently selected, among several of the same type.A possible workaround for loading saves crash is to move all your units on the map prior to saving. Not necessary to spend all their movement points, just to move them to the adjacent terrain is enough, or get the garrison out of the castle and then move them back.

I checked it at season 17 and it worked.Another workaround I found is to name saves by numbers, no letters, but I didn’t check it, so I don’t know if it works. BilboBaggins Friday, 25 March 2011 at 6:03 PM“– Patch the game when you can”Well. It’s on Steam so patching is completely out of our hands. Like advice to “defrag”, you are sending people on a wild goose chase to suggest patching (force of habit though I’m sure).FWIW, I could not force AA with RivaTuner or NVidia Control panel, the “Avatar” faces looked the same and I could see no difference in jaggyness on the tops of buildings at the main game menu screen.I bought a new 5770 Hawk since my GTX 260 won’t support DX 10.1 shader and AA. I’ll not buy NVidia for my home game rig EVER again for this reason, if I can at all help it.

So, using ATI Tray Tools I.AM. able to get AA working, however it introduces all sorts of “layering” (marker as others have described) issues where certain layers of the map don’t appear (those covering region boundaries, unit path arrows, and even the ocean’s in the game, you know.BUGS., NOT performance issues).So, when Creative Assembly says they are optimizing “performance” and will release a patch “within” 4 weeks (you wait, it will be.at. 4 weeks, the whole “within” is just more leading us along I fear), what they mean is there are bugs, not performance issues.

Why did SEGA release prematurely? Releasing a buggy game is like going to a check into cash, you only do it if you’re broke or stupid, but generally these things go together (a fool and his money are soon parted).SEGA and CA you have to understand that respect earns respect. BS earns you ire. Also remember, you can fool some people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time.Baggins out. Friday, 25 March 2011 at 7:03 PMHi Baggins.You’ll be hardpressed to find any modern PC game that doesn’t have bugs / problems. A game will work flawlessly with one PC configuration, yet be ridden when errors on the next.

It seems to be common practice now a days. Even console versions have issues like this now since each console is becoming more and more similar to PC’s. It makes you wonder sometimes about how much testing is truly done before a game is released.Anyway, good luck & nice comment. BilboBaggins Saturday, 26 March 2011 at 2:14 PMDarkKnight, I know what you mean. I don’t usually buy games right at release but I really got excited after seeing some video demonstrations on gamespot for Shogun 2.

The game really is quite fun and totally different from any other total war I’ve played (never played original Shogun, started with Rome)I agree completely about the amount of testing. I think it’s like many other products on the market, they keep taking shortcuts that reduce cost but increase other burdens on the consumer and the environment (higher percent of failed products, quality of products dubious).So I’m just waiting for the patch to play the game again, it looks good enough on the turn based map screen, but in battles the flags, spears, arrows, tree’s, building edges, all look pretty bad without AA (jaggies galore with 152 spears, all skinny little lines that are moving with no AA).

However, I have not seen a battle with AA on except in the pre-alpha footage, which looks far better than what I can get and was HD web video resolution (480p I believe).I have a decent rig. Numbers on right are win7 ratings. Card is MSI R5770 Hawk to be more precise.Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X3 710 Processor 6.6Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB 7.3Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series 7.4Gaming graphics 2559 MB Total available graphics memory 7.4Primary hard disk 48GB Free (149GB Total) 5.9Windows 7“A game will work flawlessly with one PC configuration, yet be ridden when errors on the next”I think the DX API is “supposed” (key word) to make the underlying hardware transparent to the developers. Very new and very old hardware aside.“You’ll be hardpressed to find any modern PC game that doesn’t have bugs / problems.”Hm.

Well for console I’ve had great success running games I own without issue, to name a few: Batman Arkham Asylum, Red Dead Redemption, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2.For PC, I didn’t have issue with Dragon Age 1 or Origins, Borderlands, Mass Effect 2. I just remembered that Empire Total War did have at least 1 bug, combining fleets with a ship on a trade icon rendering it immovable and wouldn’t generate trade. That was about it though and there was an easy workaround to just remove ships from the trade icon before combining fleets. The AI obviously would not utilize this trick and would have problems.Still, a quick google shows there were bugs that I didn’t encounter in most of those games. I understand that game architecture is extremely advanced and that I can’t fully appreciate the difficulty in coding a flawless product as I’m not a professional game developer.Anyway thanks for your comments DK. Anonymous Wednesday, 30 November 2011 at 12:14 AMIts Ridiculous.

When a game starts to install a c 2005 package, you know it’s old crappy coding. Dx11 have been out for c# for a while, when people ask about multicore remember that parallel programming for multicore have never been developed or adressed. As a professional web developer i can’t undestand how gamins companies can release things that run so crappy. In any similar webdevelopmentscenario the whole department would get fired, if they released code that throws so many bugs. I think the whole issue is that many engines etc rely on old c, because it took DirectX ages to jump into c#. Who uses c on a windows platform these days? Gaming industry and out of sync audio/studio companies that reuses old old instead of using the latest tools and languages.

It’s the same with Cubase/steinberg – you often still see c coded so badly that it missed garbage collection – meaning that your application crashes because any unuse Memory has to be cleaned manually (in code) by the programmer. I suspect the many issues to be similar in gaming platforms and 3d engines. This kind of selling crap attitude is symptomatic to where the western civilisation is going these days: down the drain.

I personally would like to kick som gamedevelopers in the nuts for wasting my precious sparetime. John Wednesday, 04 July 2012 at 5:13 AMI install the shogun 2, my system is awesome, I installed all side software that the game needed, but still when I choose the compaign it stop in loading screen.I update all drivers, even my graphic card support DX11 but still it stop in loading screenI use skidrow cracks but I dont think the crash happen because of it.During my research to solving problem, I discover the shogun 2 has many problemsI loved Rome but this new game with too many problems is a real mess.I really disappointed 🙁.
