Splash Screen Freezes

[Derpy Hooves]

So yeah, the game keeps freezing when I get to the campaign splash screen.

I searched my computer for incredibar and there was nothing.

Have you ever started a campaign?
Post your dxdiag.

[Derpy Hooves]

Nope. It is impossible as the campaign splash screen freezes everytime

[irishron]

Post your dxdiag.

[Derpy Hooves]

Could not find it in my steam folder

[irishron]

It's not in your Steam folder.

If you do have Google Chrome installed, uninstall it and try it. There still maybe a conflict going on.
www.nvidia.com and try to install the latest graphics drivers.
In Nvidia Control Panel, be sure it is set to Maximum Performance,, not auto, power saving, etc.
Run Windows Update manually and install all software options.

I got this computer early this month so I doubt it has anything to do with Nvidia. I uninstalled Chrome, still didn't work, and so I reinstalled it.

With this game you're going to have to do some of the legwork yourself Including updating Windows (activated your copy of Win 7 yet? you will need to), and your graphics drivers.
Windows' autoupdater is a piece of crap on a good day and Nvidia knows nothing about you or your notebook.

What antivirus and firewall are you using?

[Derpy Hooves]

I'm using Windows Firewall and Norton.
I will update both WIndows and Nvidia.

Norton has been known to block Steam and Steam ganes. Check your permissions in Norton to see if it is blocked.

I have checked my permissions and it shouldn't be blocked. I updated Windows and Nvidia. I still have the same problem.

[irishron]

Try it without chrome.
If this does not work, try it without Norton.

[Derpy Hooves]

Tried it both ways and it still did not work. Same problem.

How long have you waited? Mine takes about three minutes to start. some for the initial time have taken twenty minutes or longer.

When I am in the Campaign Splash Screen after the bar reaches halfway it stops, and when I put my mouse pointer in the middle of the screen it shows my regular mouse icons instead of the Shogun icon. THe first time this happened I waited for like a couple hours and nothing happened. WHen I did Ctrl+Alt+Del, it showed Shogun II as not responding and I got a window that says Shogun II stopped working or something and the only option I had was a button that said Close Program

Is there an Event log to go with this?
Post the awesomium.log from the steam\steamapps\common\shogun2 folder.

It's not even getting to Steam.
Do you have Adobe Flash installed?
If so, uninstall it, and get a fresh install from www.adobe.com as this is another Shogun2/Google conflict already documented.
