Early on, Japan was far from being a unified country, and there were still many territories mainly in the north of Japan (above 仙台 Sendai, basically), completely under control of the Yezo people – that Japanese refer to under the “Ainu” name as well. Japan’s government used to be only in the hands of the Emperors, for a very long time in the archipelago – the legend says the Emperors were direct descendants of the Sun goddess and absolute rulers over their people. Before moving to the game itself, it’s useful to provide a little background from a historical standpoint. In titles like Rome Total War you could also manage your family lineage literally over the span of centuries if my memory does not fail me – in Shogun 2, the time scale is much more restricted, and therefore the family management aspect is a lot more limited.Īt best, you can use the members of your family to conclude alliances (wedding your daughter with another clan’s son) or exchange hostages, but that’s about it.You start the game when the Japan system, basically divided in provinces with local lords, is losing grasp as local lords start attacking each others to gain territories and influence. What has made Total War so popular in the past was the sheer amount of units it could display at the same time on the battlefield, making large battles look very impressive and convincing.Now in 2017, it’s certainly not as impressive as it used to be, but it still works well to give a sense of scale and grandeur.

I did not play the expansion at all at this stage, so let me talk only about the base game.Let’s not go in great depth as to how Total War works, since it’s about the same in every game in the series – this being said if you are unfamiliar with the overall concept, let’s say Total War is a mix of very high level strategy (mostly military with the preparation of large armies, with some pretty basic elements of civil aspects management), and battle tactics, where you can directly control soldiers and squads on a very detailed map. Note that I have not played the first Total War Shogun and I am therefore unable to compare what changed versus that episode.There are two main scenarii to choose from in Total War Shogun 2: the main one from the 戦国時代 (the warring states period – approximately taken place between 15 AD) and the Fall of the Samurai (an expansion/DLC), taking place much later in Japan when it is forced to open up with the foreign powers in late 19th century. While it does retain the very same structure as most of the other Total War games of the series, there are numerous changes that were made to accommodate the Japanese context.
Total War: Shogun 2 is a relatively old Total War title, from 2011. The issue only started occurring after I got the HD7970, I upgraded from a 5870.Normally I'd say the GPU is busted but EVERY other game or stability test runs fine, be it Crysis 2 or Metro.
#Total war shogun 2 crash drivers#
I want to blame the AMD drivers (using 12.3 pre-WHQL). I even took off my motherboards chipset heatsinks to clean and reapply thermal paste in case they would overheat or something.Out of ideas now. Just locks up entirely.I've looked for faults everywhere, cleaned everything, re-seated everything, tried stock speeds on EVERYTHING, no dice. After roughly 20 minutes of playing my sound freezes (that loop of one sound), as does the rest of my machine (display.), but it doesn't shut off or reboot until I hit the reset button. System as per profile (i7 920 4GHZ, tested stable, 6GB RAM stable, HD7970 stock or OC stable).Problem is that only one game will completely freeze my computer and that's Shogun 2. A computer tech said our computer is running appropriately with no problems, but when I get the game going, it doesn't take five minutes before the entire computer freezes up. Hello I'm having similar problems too and can't figure out why. Shogun 2 Total War Keeps Crashing To Desktop.
