Possible FIX for SHOGUN GOLD/WARLORD GRAPHIC ISSUES on 8xxx & 9xxx Nvidia Cards

[Wishazu]

Have you tried uploading the pictures from a different host? I always use photobucket.com and never have any issues.

P.S thanks for this info though mate, I'm sure there are still people here playing original Shoggy and will be grateful if this fix works.

good day Wishazu :)

Thanks for the encouraging words. i sure do hope this little find will be useful for people all around who still enjoy Shoggy. Also i was wondering if people can verify my findings, i would gladly try to implement same tests for MTW as well.

By the way, proof images can also be seen here on the following link for TWCENTER.net

Thanks again Wishazu

Welcome to the Org, vigilantevil!

Great info here. If this works for MTW as well there would be lots of happy Orgahs. The units on the battle map thing has been the game killer for those with the 8/9xxx series. Do keep us informed on testing, and I'll post a notice in the MTW section to see if I can drum up a couple of frustrated players with those cards that can try this out.

good evening fellas.

Thanks for the warm welcome Drone. i have had a new session for testing and there are some more findings that i would like to share.

1. Test run completed on nVidia 6800 GT (WinFast Brand), 8800 GT (inno3D) and 9800 GT (inno3D) ... All Worked out Fine.
2. System Specs remain same as mentioned in my first post.
3. Unit Disappearance issue. New update! We have to keep the screen ratio to FULL SCREEN from with in game options. it seems this solution does not support the WIDE SCREEN aspect of the game just yet.
4. Main Menu stuttering seems to be constant at first but as soon as you start a new game or load one, it appears to get itself fixed. once you come back to main menu it will be gone as if it was not there. every thing seems very beautiful. the only instant it comes back is when you finish up a Historical or custom battle and come on to the result screen but then again as soon as you come over to the main menu it is gone again :) so in my humble opinion, THE GAME IS VERY VERY MUCH PLAYABLE now :) you can say about 90% which i am sure is way more then we previously thought to be the case which was unfortunately 0.00%

As for MTW, i do not have it yet with me. AS soon as I have some positive feedback from the community I will take up testing with MTW as well, or may be anyone of you with those cards and the game handy can try it out. it will be my pleasure to be able to bring joy over to my fellow gamers. (Finally i am giving something back to the gaming community ;)

Hope to hear from you guys soon.

This fix doesn't appear to work for MTW:Total war. I loaded up to the campaign screen fine but as soon as I choose a new campaign and selected my faction,it crashes to the desktop when it finishes loading into the main campaign screen,although I could be wrong I'm not that tech-minded.

Hi oz_wwjd, and welcome.

Great news. I'd not loaded STW on my newer laptop because I didn't think it would run given all the published problems, and my older laptop ran it fine. Well, now that I intend to retire the old one, it would be nice to load STW on my newer one. I'll try this when I get a chance.

I was going to point out that the errors with MTW you describe above sound like the button fix issue, but I went to link it and saw your other posts. It seems you've got that settled.

Yeah I figured that out eventually,once I found the revelant post. I've just finished downloading and installing my choice of mods for it,so tomorrow I'll give it a workout and post the results either here,or in the MTW thread.
