Total War Launcher Lag/Slow working

[Tugeris']

Hi.

This last week, i tried everything to play Total War Rome 2, Attila, Pharaoh, but because of the Launcher it's impossible.

Every time i press to play, it opens the launcher as usual and then check my mods anytime i need. But this time can't even press to play instantly because it's slow like, in slow motion thing, i press any botton on launcher and takes like almost 20, 40 seconds to react.

I've deleted everything, from mods, game, filles, updates on pc, deleted Steam and reinstalled everything again, and nothing. I playing this game so many years, since mitch's manager, but man, i have never had this problem like now and i'm getting old to lose my time with this kind of crap.
I need help please with any suggestion, i'm open to try everything new that i might not have done yet and so, after a long day of work everyday i just take my little time to enjoy this game as everyone do! Thank you.

Greetings,

My compliments on starting a new thread.

I'm getting confused here,can you run RTW2 normally e.g without black screens/crashes or lagging/freezing?,if so i suspect the mods are probably the cause of the launcher being laggy/slow to respond.

System specs and OS+version/build number would be very usefull.

Some basic troubleshooting steps you could try:

#1.Steam-->settings-->downloads-->clear download cache(you will need to log back into steam).

#2.Download and re-install RTW2:

#3.Steam-->library-->RTW2-->settings(cog icon)-->properties-->installed files-->verify integrity.

If intergity check is succesfull then i suggest for testing purposes you try running RTW2/ATW/PTW without any mods/loaders or any other 3rd party mod tools installed.

If previous attempts fail you could try this:

#3.CMD(admin)-->SFC /SCANNOW (Scans integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible.)

#4.CMD(admin)-->CHKDSK /F (Fixes errors on the disk.) /R (Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information)

Modding games is always somewhat error prone,we are after all talking about unsupported 3rd party code.

Installing more then a few mods exponentially increases the odds that a game starts lagging/freezing or crashing because of access violations(0xc0000005 or application errors(0xe0000008/0xc000007b) etc.

If you require further assistance i will provide it.

Hi,
I'll be honest, i don't know how but i did a pc reset, made backup of some stuff i needed and reset. Don't ask me what it was, but now it works well. Did many things and nothing worked, but reseting the pc works? Well anyway thank you very much, i'll save your comment in pc for future errors if happens again.

Glad you got it sorted!

A pc reset means you re-imaged the OS from the OEM recovery partition,wich is very nice to have but overkill in this situation,this is normally only done when the system/OS has serious issues or can't/won't boot.

May i suggest the following:

#1.You turn on system recovery if you have a couple GB of free space on your device/partition,it will create restore points,wich are faster,less cumbersome and will simply roll-back your sytem state days/weeks/months in time,depending on wich restore point you load.

#2.Or alternativly create a system backup (you will need an external storage device) wich will simply create an image of the OS/system file tree,wich can easily be rolled out when necessary.

Both of these options have the advantage of not having to reinstall a whole bunch of device drivers/windows updates and re-installing your software,and possibly retain some data that resides in the file system tree(game saves/mods etc.)

My compliments to you my good sir,you are wise beyond your years,and you have very good technical and communication skills.

I'm thuroughly impressed,happy gaming!

High regards,

P.S feel free to ask me if you have any questions or other issues,or if you would like some more assistance/advice.

Why does everyone resort to the most extreme and uninstall everything? Had the same problem but only lasts a few seconds. Just verify your files, update you GPU drivers and wait for the next launcher update they will probably just flatten the delay out.

known bug , not yet fixed

Still Cooking
Here’s a short list of some issues that we couldn’t quite squeeze into this patch, but we see them and we’re working on them:

Mod manager/launcher performance issues.
Issues surrounding the display of enemy movement range previews in campaign.
Court & Orthodoxy becomes significantly more difficult to balance after confederating your opponent.
Reports of support stuck at 100/100 and not receiving boons.
Matriarchal power achievement not unlockable using the new invocations.

Try just deleting the Launcher folder in.
(you will have to make a note of any mods currently selected as this resets what u have selected to load)

%APPDATA%\The Creative Assembly\

It should help in short term , and a new one will get created on game start.

used_mods.txt in game folder contains a mod list of last game loaded mods used.
The game launcher updates this file

[Timber]

Im having the same issue. It was fine last week but lately the launcher on all TW games is completely cooked. Cant navigate through anything without major lagging and its impossible to re enable any mods because of this.

[Stix_09]

u can run mods without game launcher with either a 3rd party launcher like Runcher or using a user.script.txt. The launcher is a post Rome 2 thing , that did not exist in 2014

Welcome to the new Total War launcher![www.totalwar.com]

From memory the original version was made about 12 years ago after rome 2 was released on steam, But u have always been able to load mods using a script.
