    Default ERROR

    OK here it goes. I bought shogun limited edtiion. Have the cd took 1hr to install. I launched it played a few games for bout 1hr went off. Now here is where the problem arose. There was no icon on desktop so i made a shortcut so it will launch that was fine. But very recently when i have launched shogun and go into multiplayer i get an error. The screen goes black and a box opens up. It says if i want to reprt the error so microsoft can anaylyse it and fix it. So i do report it. I launch the geame again and again same thing. NOTE this does not happen all the time but 75% of the time it does. Im not sure how to fix. I reinstealled it took 10min but same problem. I am lucky as sometimes this doesn not happen but i crashed from a game due to this and i dont want to be seen as a dishonorble coward. I just wanna play the game.

    Now im not sure if its becaue im using the shortcut/icon which i got from my steam apps or because my comp is nt gd enough. I ran the demo fine np. I previously went into my steam library and launched game from there. Cant remem if i had the same problem.

    If anyone can help it will be very much appreciated thnx.

    DO i need to completely uninstall and reinstall or i heard CTRL ALT DEL. And run again. But im not sure if this was what there talkin bout

    Launch the game through Steam if you don't have a shortcut. The game needs Steam to be active anyway - in either on-line of off-line modes.

    You need to go on-line to change Steam to off-line.

    I looked at the Shortcut that Steam created and compared it to one that I created and they are different.

    The one that was created during the install is on the top here and the one I created from the exe is the one on the bottom:

    Edited: The second shortcut does work - it does also launch Steam.
