Can't Get Shogun to work

**=NF=RuzSkullen** · 12-13-2008, 19:55

I have Shogun, Medieval TW, (Both Original, And ERA's) but after installing both games, and trying to start it it completely drops. I have a 8800 GT VC, could it be this? I am a vet at these games. but I wonder if its the VC that doesn't recognize something, Please help. I wanna play these again.

Are you running on Vista?

Do you have tried to reinstall the game(s)? Do both drop? When do they drop, does anything at all happen? Did you try to install the current patches?

Yeah, it could very well be your video card. The 8800 is notorious among Shogun and MTW players for being unable to run either game.

Then that's it, and yes I have done it all, ie patches, I've played these games 4 hours on end, without patches. but ever since I got the 8800GT, I think its the VC, limited eye site, and it focuses on the Newer games. rats. thx 4 the response. btw what happens is it blacks out. and that's it. now I'm really sad.

Sorry guys, i`m just copying and pasting this post in here as this thread seems a little more active.

I`ve decided today to try playing a campaign on Shogun for the first time in about 4 years. However I dont want to jump in and suffer tonnes of problems that will only frustrate me and cause me to give up. Are there any major issues with Vista etc.

Perhaps any resident techies can help me? I have an Acer 5920G Laptop:

Windows Vista
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 - 2GHZ
4GB DDR2
ATI Radeon HD 3470 Graphics 256MB

Cheers in advance for any help.

Well, thats what I was gonna do Wishazu (btw nice to meet you too!), I wanna get back into playing BOTH STW/MTW, just because they R so fun, on the NF Forum, and in .com, it seems that has been a problem with the NEWER VC, I've been digging around your Tech Threads, and found this was occurring with other members. The STW alt tab, I haven't tried, I will re install and try it, as for MTW, I will try to change the two files that was mentioned and see what happens. Thanks for the info, wish me luck!
