Problems when exiting the game

(Note to Sasaki: Feel free to move this thread to the Apothecary if you think it's appropriate. I just wanted to post here first since I figure the odds are better someone else has experienced this phenomenon.)


Okay, so Shogun seems to work just fine on my new computer. [*knocks on wood*] I haven't suffered any CTD's, music problems, issues with the Throne Room, etc. Everything seems to work just fine. (At least so far!)

Except.... Whenever I quit the game from the main menu, it always locks up on me. Sometimes I can get back out to my desktop by doing Ctrl+Alt+Del, but often times I have to shut down and restart my computer entirely. It doesn't seem to affect Shogun's performance or anything, but it sure is annoying.

So has anyone else had this problem? And if so, does anyone have an idea as to how to fix it (assuming it *can* be fixed, that is)?

Is there a way to quit without using the main menu that doesn't make you restart? alt+f4?

[Martok]

Hey, that seems to have done the trick. (I just to make sure I hit alt+f4 before I exit out of the game.) Thanks Sasaki!

I have it too, most of the time. As you, it occured when I switched to a new computer.

I usually just CTRL+ALT+DEL to desktop, and exit Shogun from task manager. Or I forget it, and have to rest

Hey Drisos! Haven't seen you in a little while.

My problem with CTRL+ALT+DEL is that it doesn't always work for me -- sometimes nothing happens at all when I use it. Sasaki's suggestion of using ALT+F4 seems to have solved this issue, however, so hopefully it will stop being a bother now.

Same problem here - and I always forget until it's too late. I find Alt-Ctrl-Del doesn't work, though, and I can only get out of the mess by hibernating my machine and restarting it. I think it's related to the graphics card - the one other problem I have is that Shogun won't work with any other battlescreen resolution but 600x800.

I shall try and remember the Alt F4 trick next time, thanks for the tip
