ATTENTION CHROME USERS

[irishron]

If you are using Google Chrome and having problems playing Shogun2, use another browser. I can confirm IE9 works even for those that hate Microsoft. It does seem to work for Firefox, also.

The problem is Awesomium that Segs includes with Shogin2 that for some reason Chrome has a strong distaste for and essentially blocks.

Sorry for noob question, but how can Google Chrome impact one the game?

[JoHnYBoY]

I had Chrome and i just uninstalled it and it still doesnt work. Just wondering,, why on earth would Chrome, a browser cause the game to "stop working"?

[irishron]

You be surprised what Google blocks or redflags.

Google Awesomiumprocessor and then, when the game finally starts, check the awesomium.log and find out all where it goes.

Sega does it for their sandox garbage and I consider it a privacy issue. Possibly Google agrees with me.

[Praetorian121]

What about Opera then?

[JoHnYBoY]

I FIXED ITT!!!! IT WASNT GOOGLE CHROME THAT WAS THE PROB,, IT WAS INCREDIBAR!!! HERES HOW TO FIX : GO TO CONTROL PANEL, PRGRAMS, UNINSTALL AND UNINSTALL INCREDIBAR. IT IS THE THING THAT IS NOT ALLOWING AWESOMIUM TO ACESS GOOGLE CHROME SO YES,, IRISHRON IS RIGHT. THANKK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT IRISHRON,, YOU HELPED ME THROUGH THIS PROBLEM AND I APPRECIATE IT. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL OUT. IM SOOO EXCITED!!!! LOLL

I too had the problem of crashing during the first loading screen before the cinematics, and tried the various 'fixes' floating around in the internet. But after reading this thread and uninstalling incredibar instantly solved my problem and I can once again enjoy conquering japan. I had also uninstalled google chrome but reinstalled it after i tested if the game worked because i'm a google slave. Game still works
Hopes this helps other people

K iv read it, i just was looking for info about my issue and i have chrome and i dont see "Incredibar". Only looking for help.

[irishron]

Uninstall Chrome and see if it helps.

If it does, find another browser.

If not, take it up in the other thread.

Hmmm... My google chrome is worked well with my Shogun 2 and have not noticed any issues. I will keep my eyes if something happen. Thanks for information.

I too had issues launching Shogun 2... however, my issues only arrived after having played FOTS for a couple of days already. My computer is a beast and those dxdiags are usually a waste of time (for someone who knows what they are doing) so I spent the next couple of hours following all the other rote/basic and utterly useless advice out there (never had incredibar and I'm very careful about spyware/malware etc)

LO and behold I had a flash issue... at some point flash within my google chrome either became outdated or corrupted.. I manually reset my flash in chrome and redownloaded it (also downloaded "other versions" flash, reinstalled the game and voila it works again. Have not seen a single suggestion anywhere relating to flash so I posted this here.. who knows maybe it was just me, but maybe it'll help others. Chrome is supposed to automatically update things (and so uninstalling chrome may help several individuals who use it for flash)

Seeing how the game uses flash for the encyclopedia, I figure that was most likely my issue (and that reinstalling simply was a waste of my time) but I can't be sure.

[last_name_left]

Chrome comes with Flash, and I've had unrelated but similar issues - uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome can be the simplest fix. I suspect it's a problem with Chrome because Chrome looks after Flash, and maybe there's some issues with other software using it (sometimes). Or maybe CA's use of Flash ain't properly Flashy?
