S:TW problem.
Searching through my stash of old PC games, i saw shogun and couldn't resist the erge to conquer japan... that was until it crashed on me.
Ok, i will explain the problem:
Shimazu starting in 1530, gets to 1533 (summer i think) and freezes (camp map) with no error message.
It also freezes in the throne room... it works at first, doors open etc, then when the trader/emissary tries to enter (well he doesn't appear actually) it freezes also.
I have tried to start will other clans in different periods and it will always freeze at some point.
Now the logical thing to think is its the event movies (with the camp map freeze, not the throne room freeze). But i have checked the "opens with" player for the movies and its WMP and its also the case for the sounds. I use ace-mega codec pak but i'm sure thats not a problem.
I don't have starforce on my PC but the problem i am having doesn't indicate towards starforce anyway.
Tried using win98 compatibility mode and... you guessed it, no luck.
So all in all, i am quite fustrated. Would anyone perhaps have a solution? to me S:TW has something that M:TW and R:TW could never have in terms of atmosphere IMO.
I have a 3.6 pentium,
geforce 6200se,
1gig of ram,
And i am trying to run the "all famous" sold out version of S:TW warlords edition.
Of course before posting this i checked all the posts relating to this problem and couldn't find no joy.
If anyone can help, i would be a very happy man.
TIA!
