Just purchased through Steam, game crashes at the start

[grover_nk13]

So I tried following the advice found here:

Steps 1, 3 and 4 did no good. I tried Step 2 (delete/rename the file preferences.script.txt) but when I opened the scripts folder it was empty.

I've seen some older posts saying to uninstall Chrome but that won't work for most everything else I do with a computer.

What are some other options to get the game working?

Well, when I had a similar problem with Rome 2, I deleted the Rome 2 folder. Go to C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2.
Delete the bolded folder and go to the game folder, righ click the game > properties > run as administrator.
Then, try to launch the game through steam launcher as usual.
I hope it works!

Where is Steam installed? If Steam is installed in the C:\Program Files(x86) folder then uninstall Shogun 2 TW and reinstall Steam. The UAC in Windows Vista or newer is known to prevent users to launch games.

However, if Steam is installed in the UAC folder, but Shogun 2 TW is installed outside of the Steam folder then verify the game cache and try again without using any mods.

Also, don't forget to delete the ClientRegistry.blob file before launching Shogun 2 TW and don't worry it's safe to delete that .blob file.

4. Delete your Steam ClientRegistry.blob file. This can be found in your Steam installation folder (for me it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam)
