Starting Problem

The game starts but it remains freezing in first screen. How can i solve this?

1. Alt-tab out and see if you have a popup from your antivirus or firewall.
2. check to be sure permissions are given for Steam and Napoleon through your firewall.
3. Are you logged in as Administrator?
4. Are Steam and napoleon set to "run as Administrator"?
5. Delete all mods if any installed.
6. Delete the scripts folder and verify your game cache.
7. Delete clientregistry.blob.

4)how do you do that?

7)how do you get to that?

4) right-click the icon, click properties, click advanced, click "Run as Administrator", Okay, and should be good to go.

7). It's in your Steam folder.

In properties, look on the bottom where the read-only and hidden boxes are.

ron he is using xp, we were talking pm wise

XP, no admin needed.

I tried all of them but it didn't work.

Same here, ive done a lot of none of it is working.

That person may be right when they said that the newest update may have been the end for low-end machines..forgot who said that...

I saw the same problem at forums, some guy gave a fix. But that adress doesn't working anymore.

Are you talking about http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/72603?

What forums?

Seems interesting in that thread there Irish, that when they installed .Net Framework 4.0, it helped, yet for mine it didn;t help...

Also it seems I have two .Net framework things, one is a .Net Framework 4 client profile that i got through a windows update and then the one I downloaded that just says .Net Framework 4.0. Should I have two?

If you check their specs, odds are theirs are newer than yours. Back to my opinion about pushing out the old tech.

Install it. It maybe an update patch.

could be a video card issue

what you think irishron

I doubt it, I updated all the drivers to the latest ones. Ive played this before on this same video card and it worked perfectly, I am suspecting the newest patch did something, as there are a lot of users over at the yuki forums that have the same problem..
