AAAAGGGG!! I am at my wit's end and can't figure this out!
I picked up Shogun: Total War this week but have had nothing but trouble. At first after installing it, I could not get it to run at all. I installed all the latest drivers and went through hell trying to get it run at all. Then I see that only certain drivers for nVidia will work with it (off Total War website.) OK, new vid drivers allow me to get into the game, but whenever I go to load a battle (in tutorial, historical battles, or campaign,) it locks, just accessing HD for minutes. I have to alt-ctrl-del to restart.
I have DX8 (retail) installed for MW4. Of course, the drivers that work with Shogun (11.01) are not "certified" for DX8, but MW4 runs fine. All DX video and sound functions work fine using dxdiag. I tried every possible combination of installation, drivers, etc and nothing works. I tried all the tips on the Total War site and in the manual. The system diagnostic that comes with the game says I should be able to run it fine, but it doesn't work--HELP!
