    Default Stability issues with the game?

    Hi guys. It has been a while, but all your glowing praise has brought me back. I'm a little worried about stability because the IGN, Gamespy, Gamespot, and Gameinformer reviews all complain about stability. I have an intel something or other in my ASUS laptop, and I seem to be running the demo just fine. What do you think, are the complaints legit or just some feature of the professional reviewers?

    Thanks,
    Azi

    I do tend to get occasional CTD's. The game is good enough to make me reload, and most of the time the CTD happens when loading a battle, which means I have a save right before it so I only lose time for restarting the game.

    I've found it to be pretty stable, i think it's only crashed once on me so far.

    In one big Takeda campaign, didn't crash ONCE. So from that part very good stability.

    However, in a Uesugi and Oda campaigns both up to turn 60, crashed on me four times. So it's a mix.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Same here. It has crashed exactly one time and that was just after I said "Wow, this game's never crashed in two weeks."

    its only ever crashed for me in multiplayer and it runs smoother than ETW on the same machine.

    I only play single player and I've had exactly one crash in 192 hours of game play since Shogun 2 was released. I'm retired, so I do play all day sometimes. My current rig has an Intel I7 processor and GT285 Nvidia graphics card--although I thinking it may be time to step up a notch with one of the newer cards out now.

    Aside for the DX10/11 issue---Shogun2, at release, is miles ahead of Empire in polish.

    Cheers
