Help With STW

[Lord Necros]

Hi, it's been a couple of months since I last played Shogun. When I recently got on, in the battle screen I saw that there were black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. I was also not able to use the mouse to move my view. This has never happened to me before and I can't figure out how it came on or how to get rid of it. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Hi Necros. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

What has changed about your computer (hardware or software) since the last time you played it without trouble?

I've seen this happen before, on my friend's computer. In the video options the main setting was on software mode. You need to change it to primary graphics driver or something like that (I don't remember the exact wording). This will solve the problem. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

I tried it on both software and primary graphics driver mode and the black bars stayed. My last savegame is from September and since then the only thing that I've done is get a router. That's all that I changed on the computer since I last played. Please help me out.

I'm moving this to the Apothecary where you will get the help you need. You can reply to this topic in that forum.
