    Default Why do my units look like this?

    Unless I'm almost fully zoomed in on a unit, it appears completely black. My units often appear nearly black by when I am viewing them zoomed in from the front. Below are some screenshots. Any insight would be appreciated. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/...17DA0DC381907/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/61...3B9BA54CA8BDD/

    Anyone? Is this unusual?

    Same issue. I've subscribed to this thread in the official forum: http://forums.totalwar.com/showthrea...020#post655020

    Both me and the OP there have a GeForce 9 series, do you too?

    I'm running an earlier GeForce card.

    I think you have to reinstall the directx(directxsetup) from the Rome 2 folder here ...

    Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\redist\directx

    And/or change directx 11(gfx_enable_directx11) in preferences to false here ...

    AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts

    Same problem here with a partial fix

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...U-(GeForce-260)

    It solves the issue of the black shadow, but you lose texture quality and won't have the shield variety you should have.

    I have found the directx setup files. tThey are,vcredist x86-80,x86-90 and x86-100. I want to use dx9 with my GTX 260 which one should I run. Which is the one loaded by the game by default Thankyou.

    p.s. If I change the pref file to "false" the games runs very choppily. Is this normal with this fix or should I do something else? Thankyou.
