Okay, not being a guy to give up easily I updated all drivers, defragged my hard disc and tried Shogun 2 again. There even was a patch today, yay! And I did the first battle again.

And at the end of the battle - it crashed. Again.

I am... NOT PLEASED.

Go explode violently Obi.

Just do it.

Aldaris · « **Reply #1454 on:** April 12, 2011, 08:46:43 PM »

That pic propably did capture my expression during the second crash rather well though.

It definitely manages to convey emotional turmoil and unquenchable rage.

Midaski · « **Reply #1456 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:10:33 PM »

I am told by my son that the crashing at the end of a game is a driver thing.

It is not enough to have the latest drivers ( his was only 3 weeks old) you have to have the specific driver that says it plays Shogun.

If that makes sense - I deciphered it from a series of grunts ...........

At least Shogun reminded me why I shouldn't buy games on the release, ever.

Why? I have not had any problems. Aldaris is the first person I've heard of that's had any problems at all.

I find your decision not to rate patsy as a "person" a bit harsh, but anyway - you might want to take a look at, for example, the TWCenter website. The technical help forum is stuffed full of "...crashes..." topics in endless variations.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1460 on:** April 13, 2011, 08:19:58 AM »

Well seems I was a good boy and therefore no crashes for me.

Yay.

t12161991 · « **Reply #1461 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:02:53 PM »

I like my sanity, so I don't venture into their non-modding forums. *shrug*

And I wasn't aware that patsy had gotten the game.

Certainly no worse than warseer or really most forums dealing with some kind of hobby/game. The usual rabid whining like everywhere else, with the occasional splash of valid, constructive criticism or positive comments.

t12161991 · « **Reply #1463 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:16:16 PM »

Maybe I've just clicked on the wrong threads in the past then...

My impression was on par with the official Bioware forums.

...which are typical examples as well. Like I said, a majority of rabid whining with the occasional splashes of reason mixed in. Visiting forums for things that are supposed to be fun is no laughing matter these days.

It is however, accurate.

I distinctly recall him being a "twink" for Shadowlord, and they certainly aren't people.

Bought Empire Battalion box nicely sealed and stuff, but missing 5 from the 8 cavalry bases and seems 1 head missing from the handgunners/xbow sprue...

Tell GW customer service. They're very obliging when it comes to stuff like this.

so my dad may or may not be having a heart attack...

Gneisenau · « **Reply #1472 on:** April 18, 2011, 06:07:47 PM »

That sucks.

How come you don't know for sure? Have you called 911?

Feanor Fire Heart · « **Reply #1473 on:** April 18, 2011, 10:17:10 PM »

they live in a different state.

his facebook status read
"Doc did ekg and blood work and said ekg was irregular and thinks i was having heart attack , so to be safe wanted me hospital now. said no because when i take a tums chest pain goes away, so chest pain is heart burn, will do stress test tue and go from there. Mostly he wasn't sure but thought from ekg lt ventricle was enlarged and the beat wasn't right."

I worked for a hobby store long ago, he had a shrink wrapper for boxes. It was no trouble for him to reshrink wrap a game or model and put it back on the shelf. This is what may have happened to you battali0on box. steveb
