Total War: Shogun 2 tournament?
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:38:40 am »

These will be classic matches, meaning that all players will have access to the same troops and those who have played multiplayer before have only the advantage of experience.

Numbers are unimportant so long as we can get an even number of players.  Participants in each round will be decided randomly.

Up for it?

Well, I would be up for it, but once again I need to make sure I can actually play online.

I would have loved to join as well, but I don't have a computer capable of running Shogun right now.

I would if shogun wasn't freezing on me constantly.

Did they patch it or something? I was doing fine before.

Really depends if they finally balanced the MP or not yet. I havent played since before the mega patch though, so they might have.

In what way?

@dogstile: Have you tried altering your graphics settings?  Specifically the version of DX you are using.

Well before the big patch at least, my goodness it was pretty terrible. Match making was broken as all shit: 1v3, some games wouldn't start, if you were kicking someone's ass and they decided to leave: no win/loss for anyone, Not very good at the game? Just get some cannons and snipe all of their generals from across the map, and pretty much OP your way though everything, fighting lower levels? Just whore monks and out moral the shit out of everything they use, Boat battles? Stack siege boats, Always use the bad cook perk,

The experience was just atrocious.

- Match making is still kinda screwed up
- Games start fine
- Can't leave games without penalty any more
- Cannons are stupid inaccurate now
- Monks still rape everything
- Siege boats are still supreme
- No one uses bad cook any more

But considering this tournament is in house with other Bay12ers.... I really doubt any of the above would come into play. Not to mention we could play without avatars and just test the true intellectual strength of each other!

Well try dropping a few settings then.  Maybe you're simply trying to run at higher graphics setting than your PC can handle.

Oh I did, still got the crashes, I was trying earlier.

Then I put it back to normal, and while it stopped crashing, it wouldn't advance the AI's turns on the world map in single player. This is odd, imma just reinstall the damn thing.

(I've had 70 hours of smooth running on this game, on very high, because I built my computer for it, so I don't think i'm trying to run it too high :3)
