Shogun 2: Total War Message Board  

hmm you know, this may not be the best forum to ask for that ind of help since it seems its not technically the trainers fault. have you tried tech spport over at steam forums or possible the games own forums? those guys tend to be more on it as its their job in a sense . ( tho steam can be.. well.. iffy.. ) but id say check the other places connected to teh title aswell, im sure others have similar issues. usually is the case.

yea tried that, but the guys at cheathappens know more about .dll extension problems than most programers. I figured since i wasnt getting any help from steam or sega, i could get their help.

ok after extensive trail and error i can safely say that the trainer is causing the crashes at the end of the ai turn. i dont know why the trainer is causing me to crash. I dont see anyone else with this problem so i dont know how to correct this. I reinstalled it and made sure i have the correct version. But no matter with the trainer on it freezes and crashes after the ai completes its turn, the faulty module is shogun2.dll, i dont know what to do can someone from CH help me fix this. I can provide any additional information if needed. Thank you

Do not run that game with that rig with min settings. You will certainly bottleneck the gpu and cause it to crash/become extremely slow. Turn everything off except your firewall. Now to be quite honest it wouldn't be because you don't have enough ram, it would only be a compatabilty issue (eewwww, vista). The biggest problem you have is an outdated kick-*ss rig.For your future rig, make sure that you get 64 bit os to get the most out of that ram!!

Regarding the "crashing after every other faction has played" bit :
The problem is not with the trainer, but with a "corrupt" unit you are recruiting. You can either un-recruit every unit in every town, save one if you're feeling lucky, and add one town to the recruiting effort every turn after that.

I didn't bother going more than 3 or 4 towns with that technique thanks to the trainer, I just steamrolled everything on the map on the same turn and won.

The problem is circumvented if you play in Legendary. The savegame (the *only* savegame I might add) created at the beginning of each turn is valid, even if you crash. Of course, you can't manually save, but...

EDIT :
On Legendary : had 3 CTDs but still could load back in the "next turn", but the 4th was a freeze, and the Savegame now's corrupt..

All my saves are legendary besides the couple of saves after I researched everything. The problem for me was the 6 button and that huge number. After many restarts/crashes I had no problems after letting the last research run it's full course without the 6 button on in the trainer. I have used all other options with no problems, but I think that 6 option with that huge number really messes things up somehow when reading the files for save games. Someone else also stated this in the forums which worked quite well for me.
Open research, click on all research except for the last 2, ctrl-s, then ctrl-l and a lot will be researched in the same turn.

I stopped all construction and all recruitment but it still keeps crashing. I never used the Mastery of the Arts cheat so that's not the problem. I even tried playing without the trainer on. Do you think the trainer just needs an update to fix this or I'm just screwed?

edit:Apparently CA is working on fixing it.
