    I'd say delete the scripts folder and let the game generate a new one.

    what temperatures is your new card running at whilst playing nap? Did you have to upgrade your PSU when installing your new card? Can you play other graphical intensive games on your new card?

    Have you tried updating the Audigy drivers?

    Are there any Nvidia sound drivers loaded in Device Manager?

    sorry Irishron i was abit deflated last nite and didnt notice the sentance about nvidia drivers on your post

    yes i do indeed have nvidia high definition audio drivers installed in device manager its listed 4 times. im sure i have never seen this listed before, should this be there as i have onboard audio disabled and am using my audigy 2zs sc

    thanks

    EDIT- seems those drivers are to do with HDMI is that correct

    Yes they are. The AMD version causes conflicts and I have read these can, too. Disable them and see what happens. You may have to uninstall them to keep them from loading.

    thanks for your efforts ron i tried uninstalling those drivers and the problem is still the same (had to use gpedit to stop w7 from installing generic drivers all the time). i think im going to give up on it and theres still no reply on the offical forums as yet

    havent bought shogun2 yet as was waiting for the dx11 patch im abit worried about the purchase now incase i have the same problem

    happy easter btw
