Which cracks/patches are you using? Try downloading the ones from post 1 and see if that helps. I've have never experienced this. How many Turns into the game did you experience this "authentic" pop up message. Can you please take screen shots. Try using FRAPS to take screen shots if they are not working using the PrtScrn button and paste to Paint. Tell me exactly what you did?
LATEST(As of Dec 13 2011)Shogun 2 v1.1 Build 4358 + Hattori + Ikko Ikki + Sengoku Jidai + Rise of the Samurai + Patch 10I strongly recommend you purchase Total War Shogun 2 and the DLC's if you like strategy games. For those of you who own legitimate copies of the game and are experiencing crashes proglems when loading saved games, please follow the directions.Downloads:
Installation:
- Steam (The game will not start without Steam installed on your computer)
- Mount Total War - Shogun 2 DVD1 and install. When prompt, mount Total War - Shogun 2 DVD2 & Total War - Shogun 2 DVD3. (Installation is English & Russian, don't be alarmed if you see some windows in Russian)
- Unzip patch10.pack Build 4358 and place patch10.pack in your Shogun 2\data folder.
- Unzip 3DMGAME-Shogun2.CHS.Patch.V3.2.rar and place the 3DMGAME-Shogun2.CHS.Patch.V3.2.exe file in your Shogun 2 folder, where Shogun2.exe is located and run it (Make sure you have disabled your antivirus program because this patch will change the contents of a file, and by AntiVirus definitions, this will be considered a virus. I assure you that it is not).
And how about save corruption? Does it fix it?Don't get the Chinese patch. I am Chinese, it's not a crack first of all, second of all, its purpose is to turn the game into Chinese, so it won't crack your game for you. The first screen tells you how to use the patch. Second one asks if you need to install the DLCs and stuff and that if the game is legit, press no. 3rd one says what the crack does. My bad, it is a crack. It supposedly helps with the bug with right mouse button, space, some bug about save, 12 turn crash bug, general skill bug, diplomacy UI bug, auto manage bug, main menu bug, something about multiplayer buttons bug, surrender bug, after battle bug and the general recruitment bug. For the last screen, the first button says turn the game into Chinese, 2nd one says revert it back to English and last one closes the program.
And how about save corruption? Does it fix it?
BTW, this is RonaldAniban. I can't log in with facebook anymore, I don't know why. Well, I can log in. But after 2 seconds it automatically logs out.
I don't think so. And I got the 3dm crack for the DLCs, can anyone help as the vanilla game is crashing for me now after turn 55?And how about save corruption? Does it fix it?

What? So I won't have any issues (as in none) in my saves if I install the v3.2 crack?Yes this will allow you to play past Turn 52 with out actually going past Turn 52. What happens is the game tags your saved game file between Turn 53-57. Once you reach Turn 58 usually, you're screwed. In order to prevent this, you need a clean-loading saved game from Turn 52 and roll back the Turns and years.
I downloaded the game
Follow all Badboy's Instructions
But When I install done
Copy patch 10 in the folders, and then use the chinese patch from download and patch it
, and click the desktop icon for shogun 2
Nothing happen
I was looking forward to play this
Thanks

can u please tell me step by step what did u do your and your build version dlc etcYes I did installed Steam before downloading the game
I installed the game like 3 times but no luck
Ok
First I installed Shogun 2 Total war by R.G. Mechanics from the download links
Then, Copy patch10.pak in Shogun 2 Data Folder
After that, extract in 3dgame crack in Shogun 2 then run it
I pressed no, then middle button, installed with music on
Then turned steam on, and run Shogun 2
In another words, I followed the exact instruction from bad boy.
In the end, I was surprised that it didn't run at all so I installed many times but no luck
Thanks
you dont have to launch steam and login try launhing the game without starting steamI have the same thing. Installed it with the whole 3 images, with upgraded directx and c++, then put the patch10.pack, and used the crack on it. Launced steam, logged in, but when I double-click the game, nothing happens. At all. I didn't install any mods yet too.
Hello,
I have also the problem of game not starting. I tryied reinstalling it several times, and i also:
1. uninstalled all c++ redistributables from MS, and then installed them again, and not only 2005 but also 2008 and 2010
2. updated direct X, i have 10.1 compatible VGA but i updated version 9.0c, 10.1 reinstalled to be sure (as it is the final verison) and got also latest version of DX 11
3. started and stopped steam, reinstalled, nothing helps, steams IMO do not matters here, there is regfix anyway together with 3 disc images (just remove .txt from the end, and you can just doubleclick the "fix.reg" to apply it)
4. that chineese crack didnt help me either, i cant run it neither in chineese nor english
5. removed Shogun 2 from registry under The Creative Assembly, removed Shogun 2 from my roaming appdata
5. http://segmentnext.com/2011/03/15/total-war-shogun-2-crashes-freezes-errors-and-fixes/
EDIT: i forgot -|- 6. removing *registry.blob (total of 2 files) from steam installation
EDIT2: 7. running game as administrator in several different compatibility modes etc...
8. tried what happens if i run Shogun2.exe for every step, right after install, after including pack10, after "cracking" it...
always the same, always nothing. i am just unable to localize the source of problems. it just starts and immidiately ends. if you want to see how fast it ends, just go to properties, compatibility, and turn off desktop composition. i believe it have some deep grounded problem on some systems, becouse it looks like some dependencie(s) fails sooner than the game itself.
i also tried this one
http://forums.steamgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2175769
and checkup or taking ownership didnt help either.
i also made it through this forum
http://tehparadox.com/forum/f43/tot...p-dlc-latest-patch-crack-3123554/index73.html
where you do refer too, but i ran out of steam, i just read everything i found, but everywhere is the same thing.
right now i am downloading this HORRIBLE thing
http://tehparadox.com/forum/f43/tot...ikkoikki-sjup-dlc-latest-patch-crack-3123554/
one dl at a time, becouse they just had to decide for host hosting on the interweb. nothing worse is available. period.
all i hope for is that this one will work, becouse despite of your great contribution, i just cant get your version of the game get running. older versions were all running OK.
so for all of you here who have same problem as me, i will try this one and report whether it works or not.
BTW my HW is sufficient, and i got Win7 Ultimate x64. All drivers up to date.
