Shogun 2- Don't buy- bughtic alert!

[Tomcon]

Honestly- how they could release so buggy game? Its total technical crap. Games drops radomly after minimalizing, shut downs or bsod some configs(my for example), multiplayer system is totally crazy- many times in a row puts 3vs1, you can"t even change sides or vote map, abort the game, sometimes you can"t do nothing stucked by this stupid system untill someone leave by alt+f4. Same **** happens when searching teams and it searching like forever and only way to stop this is alt+f4, games list is always empty, you can"t create your chat channles(only damn deutsche cannle, sic!), because noone see it. They didn't even add an stupid AA so game looks way worst because of it(screw the incomming patch, AA should by supported with SP 3.0). This is just 10% of all bugs I've noticed. So everyone who looks forward to buy this game... DO NOT BUY THIS BUGHTIC untill some serious patches.

Must be the original from 2000, someone probably conned him into thinking it was Shogun 2!

[King_Azzole]

Probably some guy given 5$ by the guys at Civ5 or King Arthur RPG.

Sounds about right, I see that all the time with other games.

It's still hilarious though, because while they try to look genuine, you can spot them a mile away.

...same as yours

Please be serious. I spend just few hours at multiplayer and have been overtaken by this forest of bugs. I see people writing on public channel, at games who are frustrated by an amount of bugs this game serve for them. Its mostly about online system(bugged), not game. But game isn't perfect too. Manytimes you can't even pick your army or set it up, because games starting(and no any alert or time counting).

What's a bughtic?

[Tomcon]

So poeple who didn't bought this game yet. Don't watch clips on internet by playing shogun 2. It doesn't show true face of Shogun 2. Multiplayer is almost dead for now, because of an ridiculous online matchmaking.

UP: i dont' say about game mechanicks. All I'am upset of is a code of this game. It isn't stable, useing only 1 core and occur some radomly bugs for everyone(some of my friend couldn't load an replay for example with no reason and many others). But most bugged thing is online matchmaking in this game.

[Greve Af Göteborg]

I have experienced none of those problems that you mention here.
Btw BSODS are only caused by hardware and/or driver problems, not single applications. You should check your computer for eventual faults.

[Mikelus Trento]

I've not encountered one bug, much less a bughtic, nor have I been dropped once. It seems to me, on my rig anyway, to be the most bug free TW release yet. I am totally enjoying it and can't stop playing. The mark of a true classic. Cheers to CA!!!!

I hope thats not the case, just bought it and can't wait for it to arrive, there seems to be a lot of good reviews about it on this forum,

I would ignore the odd post or two like this, they're probably trolling, or they suck at TW. Either way, they're wrong. This is probably the most enjoyable TW I have played since Rome, and I have yet to experience any bug or issue with the game whatsoever.

so play online teambattles with auto searching... .

I don't buy TW games for MP, so I could care less about it to be honest, whether bugged or not.

I will say this though, that many games have problems with the MP aspect on release, due to it being far more complicated to develop than SP. Stick with it, because generally a fix is always on the way. In the meantime, there's plenty to do in the SP campaign.

nice crap story , sorry no offense but i played this game more than 4 hours and i didn't notice any bug.

[clibinarium]

Sounds like you need to do a bit of this for a while;



But in all seriousness, TW games are so ambitious that bugs are inevitable, many will be patched, some will not be. No previous game has been perfect at release, indeed some had major bugs initially. The impression I get from the forums is that most people are impressed with Shogun 2 despite the bugs. If you rant only about the bugs it makes you sound as unbalanced as someone who won't hear any criticism of the game.
The world isn't perfect, and nor is the game.

There is an diferrence betwean BUGS and unplayability. Play some avater, team battles and say me you haven't noticed ANY endless searching, unfair teams(like 3vs1) and others i wrote at 1 post... -_-. And please, don't say about SP. I played almost 20 hours at SP and had great fun but after entering MP and conquring 5 provinces I'am disappointed about so buggy, dropping online system

Well, then just wait on MP patches before entering MP. SP is stable. At least it is not worth to make a "campaign" like "don't buy the game", due to MP issues. As others mentioned, MP mode always has issues at release (at least), in many games. We TW fans can be thankful this time that SP is pretty stable.
