will shogun 2 ever go 64bit .... ?

Probably no. I was expecting when they turned their face to Rome 2 and released some more exp packs but they have never done it for Shogun 2. Probably the only thing that I ever want them is to make this game 64 bit but I think at this point it is a no go.

[Rincewind]

Its rly sad.... i mean if you put the graphics on max and play some hours at any time it will go crash because of the memory is full or the game run rly bad after time while my pc is bored and sleep. It´s a good game but unplayable without 64bit.

That sounds like your problem not the game. I've played this one 1,600 hours and never experienced what you describe. So to say it's unplayable w/o 64 bit is just flat out absurd.

i don´t think so. Maybe you don´t played on max settings. This is a general problem with most games that need good setting but just stay on 32 bit. Same with total war empire.

the reason is just simple... 32 bit just can just use max 4gb ram. With win 7 and higher its just 3,5gb ram. So... the longer your session goes, the ram the game needs to the point where the memory is full. At this point the chance is high that the game crash.

@Rİncewind, I am not proficient at software/computer by any means but there has to be a memory leak for the thing you said to happen and that is a really big problem for a game and as far as I know S2 has no problem like that.

I played on max settings since the day this released, had to edit the preferences.script.txt file in order to make it happen too. I'd be willing to bet you've no idea what I'm talking about and didn't even know at the time you were not in fact running the game at max settings when it launched because CA w/o telling users downgraded their video settings.

The problem here is on your end, and it's being compounded by your unsubstantiated babbling about a memory leak, which from what you said above I gather you go around complaining about on multiple games apparently. And while there are a lot of things wrong with Empire, all of them have to do with the fact CA had no idea what they were doing with that one in terms of game design, and ZERO to do with memory leaks. The only memory leak taking place here is in your imagination as an excuse to explain why your potato can't run games properly.

On Mac/Linux probably, as the next OS update will make 32 bit apps incompatible. The company that made most of the Total War ports including Shogun 2 did a brilliant job updating Medieval II to 64 bits
As for the Windows version, I highly doubt it :/

Lots of games can develop or cause a memory leak on alt-tab, especially 32-bit games running on various 64-bit os. Some os, such as certain cursed editions of Windows 7, don't emulate 32-bit correctly and cause memory leaks in the framework that runs the application, which may cause the application to crash through no fault of its own.

Larger issue is how slow battles load, since it will only ever use like 1 stick of ram with most modern hardware.

[Psychotic Fury]

Huh, just got this game a cpl days ago, was wondering why loading took longer than it should. (Or what i thought it should based on my system vs the reqs)

[easytarget]

There's nothing to be done about the load times, that's just the way this one is. I mean running off a SSD helps, but the load times are still pretty long.

Ah yeah im using a SSD. I just thought since its been awhile since release it would load alot faster than it does with my ryzen 2200g and 8gb ram. Not that the load times are bad, just kinda thought it would be a bit quicker. Haha

[BastardSword]

Load times now on an SSD is fine. When the game first came out and SSD's weren't common yet, you could spend half your day waiting on load times before battles.

Dude... i literally have the same problem lol... its not peoples specs, its an old game running on old software. simple as that, not to mention its 32 bit lol. I have a 214 hours in the game and a 2080 max Q graphics card with 32 GB of memory, ive crashed more times than i can count and thats from day 1 of playing this game. So no i dont think its the users computers/laptops. Ive read hundreds of threads and posts like this one of people having crashing issues despite having great computers so that already tells me that it cant be a coincidence. Bottom line its the old design of the game itself. Funny enough i almost never crash with the newer and graphically intensive games like resident evil 8, but only do with games like shogun even when i have small armies fighting each other.

[Red Spot]

Nothing wrong with the game. I dun have crashes so it is not just the game but people's hardware or it would crash for all of us at certain times.
Necro'ing a year old topic to try and state otherwise does not really help your case either.
