Relentless crashes before battles with Shogun 2

**Brutalsubtlety** · July 24, 2012, 02:59 AM

I’m trying to play a new campaign as Hattori Clan, my game crashes whenever I fight.
Loading battle screen. Crash. Loading battle screen. Crash. Spin repeat
Relentless crashes before battles during loading battle screen.

I have FotS and Rots and both play just fine; I’ve taken out all my mods.
So:
I have removed all mods.
Verified cache and tried again, and again.
Restarted my computer.
Crossed my fingers.

Please help me, I want to kill some poor fools with my ninjas.

Did also delete the user script?

Thanks for the response irishron, and yep its gone, I then Verified cache again, it’s funny I’ve no problem with RotS or FotS.
I've also been through so many campaigns without a hitch, it's so ‘maddening.’

If FotS and RotS work, then the blame is in vanilla.

Any mods installed?

Its a little hard to say for sure, I have taken out so many, (although the majority were RotS)
Mod_CameraShake.pack
Pumpkin_allGames_Skillpoints.pack
BSM for Shogun 2 and FOTS v1.2.pack
I thought these guys might be ok given that they are FotS related nad I don't have any issues with FotS.
I did have the...
Hattori Daimyo Ninja3 v1.00.pack
yet I've taken that out and still no joy.

Did you clean out the user script, too? All those are listed in there someplace.

**Brutalsubtlety** · July 24, 2012, 05:10 PM

The user script might be it where do I find that little 'precious?'

user script I keep getting the script file which I've already deleted.

is this the same thing? I'm pretty sure it isn't, and win 7 makes it so hard to get into the user

Done and done, thanks again irishron saviour central.
I’ll verify the cache again, and give it another go.
Oh, I’ll also cross my fingers. (Can’t hurt.)

**Brutalsubtlety** · July 24, 2012, 06:47 PM

No change I’m afraid, still freezing up after about 5sec upon entering battle loading screen.

I’ve moved onto deleting some of the CA patch.packs maybe there’s some kind of technovoodoo going on.
Any other suggestions. Thanks.

Steam will just reinstall them.

Check your temps and voltages. Speedfan works pretty good for deskttops and many laptops.

**Brutalsubtlety** · July 25, 2012, 02:47 AM

I can’t help but wonder how I made it through this fifth ring of Hell, luck, chance, a questionable deal made with a cloven hoved fellow. Whatever, I’m back baby and Shogun 2 has finally returned to her preceding stable demeanour.
Thanks for the help.
