Napoleon is off for the whole world

Thread: Napoleon is off for the whole world

    Default Napoleon is off for the whole world

    I was about to start a thread about Nappy won't pass splash screen, tried everything, even reinstalling the game from Steam, etc... when I saw in some forums that actually everyone is having the same issue.

    Basically, the game won't pass splash screen in Steam online mode, but it will do so in offline mode...

    So, my question is... why??

    Will this be solved soon? Please CA, we'd like some feedback on this one.

    P.S. Seems like opting for participating in the BETA (Steam settings), make it work... Weird.
    P.S. 2. This solution was already posted in another thread this very same day here in this forum. Sorry.

    Same thing just happened to me and I was really starting to freak out until I read this. I even went as far as to curse steam with several profanities and threatened to murder CA and the people who made steam. Thanks for telling me ho to play now.

    Go into steam, click steam at the top, settings, and participate in beta. After that the game works fine.

    i wonder if this is a preparation for a new NTW DLC. probably not (just steam being a pain again)
    i uninstalled and reinstalled twice before i read it works in offline mode

    Two new games? I'm pretty sure Shogun 2 is the newest one. They're begun developing the next TW game but it's not out yet.

    I wonder why there is no word from CA yet. If a game doesn't work for everyone, it's a very very big issue, the most serious issue you can have in the gaming world.
    Indeed there are some tricks to make it work again but hey, it is supposed to work without these tricks.

    CA has effectively forgotten about Napoleon.

    They probably don't know the problem exists. I say bombard CA members with PM's, or visitor messages!

    Firstly, it's the weekend. Like most normal people, CA staff probably don't work weekends.

    Secondly, from all accounts it's a problem with Steam's client and not with the CA code...so sending complaints to the people at Steam would seem to be a far better idea to get the problem fixed.

    I didn't buy a Steam product, I bought a CA product, so whatever the technical reason for this malfunction may be, in the end its CA's responsibility to keep their product in a functioning state.
