Help crashing at battle loading screen (And maybe a fix for some of u guys)

[Chris]

As everyone else I have the same problem as everyone else.
So i got this game today from a friend so we could play, I got the game installed and everything worked. Except the part where u have to load into the battle map, so at the loading screen it crashes and closes the game with no error or reason. I have been trying everything for atleast 3 hours, I have been looking here on steam-youtube-webside and just internet for any possibility to fix the problem. But so far with no luck :/

Here is some of the things i tried, maybe for some of u it will help

no, you dont have same problem as everyone else, most user has crash issue only at splash screen effect only, if you can enter the game, then rest is how stable your pc is and its update with latest drivers + BIOS, overclocking and mods and do pc has what is takes in resources, and ofc is windows updated, only windows 10 has all in one update, previous OS has recommend update and many dont get those file updated C++ is part of this, to many of them to even mentions them here.

ps.
with my 1000+ hours in the game, i have so few crashes, most of the time its because other coup player had issue at hes pc. and in all my single play time i cant even count it on one hand.
and so do many other shogun2 user.

but you also need to count a random crash this can happen to all, in any program, and if you look inside steam lib it do make a crash dump report soimetimes, i got mine then my graphic card for 6-8 years ago was new, and saying goodbye.

but it's okay, where is always someone that could use it. and it work for someone.

and pc heaven is a rip-off what steam user's threads have discoverd, and hes guide is outdated.
i have said it many times make allow rule in your antivirus app. its even in my guide. for several years, but i dont have all antivirus app, so its impossible to have solutions to all of them.
( and anti virus app blocking issue was not there 5 years ago ) its all about link issue game do.) its have been said many times, but again who can we blame for users own responsibility for not knowing how to use own app. sorry this is not a rant or critic its just informations, why we have no pinned down in topic sega,CA could atleast warn people, but again is this a game companys faulth for people own security app NO , but atleast give a heads up, and warn for consequences on users access for what to do about it.

Thanks for your info

Alright but I have a friend who has this game to and we almost have the same pc with same stuff in it, BUT my pc is a bit stronger. And for him the game works perfect. So what should I do?

sense your game actual startup, then you have performance issue, older drivers or system need checkup,

latest drivers + BIOS, this is at your mortherboard brand name or if its a brand name pc then its that support site.

performance
ccleaner with junk and registrations repare double task with that app, just use standard settings
and advance sytemcare has a check system, those 2 app do a good job to fix all OS, and catch most of it, what windows should have done, or program should have done but dont clean up after themself.

dont forget power scematic , several pc use a balance mode as default, this should be max performance mode then it will give more power to graphic, and system, this has been one of the most annoying thing on laptop untill i discover why my skyrim crashed, so sooner or later this will happend to all system then it get slower overtime then we use and install many things. ( desktop pc also use this, but they have always been stronger then laptops, and many forget its enable on them. )

many dont use a harddisk fragmentations program anymore, this can also gives a boost, but with SSD disk and faster disk today many skip this step. ( this wont fix game crash but it will put data together so system actual retrive the data faster ) should not be runs so often anymore but hardcore gamers know this. the faster a pc respond, the better FPS you have and if other person lag , hes dead before he know or can move, in WoW , we actual kill people before they was done change zone.

also check for iobits driver boost them can actual find newer driver our mortherboard dont care about they only focus on stability drivers only. but you still need original support driver first chipset and such, reason is iobit can only check for Right ID of current version, not fix things that is wrong ID on system, it only check what system tells it. run this last so you do know original driver is working. ( because our mortherboard use so many third part device on board those drivers can be update also ) its a minor thing, but all count in the end, if you want to have best optimized drivers released, and you can role back drivers if you dont feel it work for you.

adwcleaner was also one of my newer tool that seem to fix what other apps cant , but they have added advance system as addware now. but you can scan and deselect it if you still want to use advance systemcare as i do, because im tired of the old was to clean up after other programs , and in the old days we did this ourself with scripts and apps that is called regclean to winxp or whatever that name was back then, i prefer systemcare alot faster to use then do such annoying task myself.

last thing i do is file hippo manager, its not perfect but it do give me a heads up with our software that seem to forget to update itself, i know there is other apps outthere that doing semi same thing, try see it as a helping hand in right directions, sometimes they change what program do, or another program that do things better can takeover.

and if you have a old graphic card, and this is change all the time, its either high-end middle or low-end depend on markets and new games release in requirements.

but if card cant keep up, try if nvidia set it to balance mode ( dont ever forget this some games could require max quality or it start to flicker or other weird effect can happend )
but this function can be a good thing its a mix between fastest rendring and max quility mode, and actual give our middle age graphic card a breathing room to handle a high-end game )

and if you have intel card , you have no clue what a fullblood graphic card can do, but again if pc is not top ace , then there is no point in have a top ace graphic card,then you dont play on max quality anyway, ... yeah yeah i know someday intel will make a card that can do this. but for now they dont seem to aim on that high-end graphic in quality mode. ( its a long time ago i had a ((amd-(ATI)graphic card )) so i cant remember this settings anymore but its should be semi same name more or less.

[Iceira]

have edit and correct some explanations above. problem is we say max performance its actual quality mode, max performance is fastest rendring on graphic cards, but then we say it in a game max performance its best graphic. rofl.. yeah go figure...lol

Well I most say all this is really confusing, because im not that really good at all this stuff. But I did search a bit into some of this stuff, but idk. I'm to much of a noob to understand all this.

[Chris]

So I have check this stuff and everything is telling me that, the game should run fine on my pc. So Idk what it is

[Iceira]

just try see this as tune a bike or car that it running at best performance

[Sunny]

i had the same problem ages ago and i think i just downgraded my graphics and it worked fine after

[Chris]

Oh alright
