Latest update 26th May crash after load?

[Forward Observer]

Here is a response to the issue with a later update from CA. At first they thought it only had to do with the DLC, but It appears that today's update/patch has some issues with the multi-player Avatar code system. People like myself who have not even used that aspect of the game do not seem to be having problems.

They indicate that they are working on it.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Just the Shogun logo and then a crash, but if CA is working on it then ill await there fix gladly.

OK well after latest update game now loads but my SP campaign doesn't work - as soon as I attack an army or click end turn it just zooms into a unit on the map and I can't do any commands/builds/order etc. Is this normal after an update? Anyone else having a similar problem?

I'm afraid I'm not having any problems. There's a few fixes in the thread linked to above.

This one seemed to work for a few people:

I checked integrity and defragged again, took like 3 minutes to load but the cursor changed to the Shogun one and it worked. You know why the game works now? It works because I went through Creative Assembly's website to the Sega support page regarding Total War Shogun 2 and followed their advice. Delete preferences.script in the following directory:

C:\Users\Administrator*\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts

*Or whatever username you have.

For extra precautions I deleted every single file in each folder in that Shogun2 folder including my saves so the new download would have no record of me having played the game before. That might be an extreme but consider it if the above doesn't work. Note I did not delete the folders, only the files contained therein.

I can tell you from experience, in order to find that archive you'll first need to enable hidden folders. Give it a try, see if it helps you.

If that doesnt work, you should post in CA's official tech support forum: http://forums.totalwar.com/forumdisp...-Support-Forum
