Shogun Total War: Gold Edition problem. |
Lead | ||
|
I recently decided to play S:TW after having not played it for well, ages. However after installing the game any time I try to run the game it instantly comes
up with the error message "Shog_CPP has stopped working". My computer exceeds the requirements for the game, and all my drivers are up to date. I am
on vista which I am assuming is likely the problem as it has been far too often with other games. Any help would be greatly appreciated in resolving this
issue.

First of all, try the compatibility mode and see if it works.
Under Options, look for video where you can change from hardware mode to software mode. This should stop the crashes, although there had been complaints of slowness during the battles. BTW, you didn't mention if your Vista is 64 bit or not, as well as the model of your video card. |

I have tried compatibilty mode and attempted every single option to no avail unfortunately.
The game does not even start up so changing that option isn't even available to me. And I am running 32 bit Vista and have a built in "Intel(R) 82945G Chipset Family" card. Thanks for the help, really want to play this game again. |

Do you have Nero installed?
Have you tried reducing the resolution of your display before starting the game? |

Yes I do have Nero installed.
Just tried reducing the resolution, but no joy I'm afraid. |

Can you try uninstalling Nero and run the game.

Uninstalling Nero didn't work, however I found my old copy of Warlord edition and that works fine now, thanks for all the help. :)

Nice to hear that you can play again. However, I am rather curious. Which version of the game did you install initially that gave you the problems? Would be
good if you can share some information on this.

Initially it was Gold edition that was giving all the problems, I didn't think to try Warlord edition until after Gold still didn't work after
uninstalling nero.

This is most interesting. The Gold edition is a later, repackaged copy of Warlord.
