Shogun 2: Total War Message Board  

Please see my post being if you end the last tech with that screwy huge turn number, it will crash your game. Not immediatly, but I guess turn 42 is the first check, if your tree isn't done by then I can anly asue it would be in the 60 area like others are posting here. It doesn't check every turn.
Again, I need someone to confirm this or I am deleting my post, I hate giving wrong info but it worked for me.

Listen guys, I know it's nice and easy to blame our trainer for every single problem in the game, but I think you need to re-evaluate your expectations for what we do here. WE ARE NOT GAME CRACKERS. If they added in some sort of DRM that checks for code A to match code B at random interval C in the SINGLE PLAYER GAME, then there's not a lot we can do about it without digging through and trying to completely disable their DRM (See statement above).

Now, if the trainer is "useless" with this DRM, then we can easily retire the game and stop wasting hours upon hours of updating the trainer when patches come out.

If someone has a 100% always repeatable savegame where we can replicate the issue very quickly, then we can see what might be causing the issue and see if it can be worked around. Otherwise, please take your complaints to the game developers.

I've got a game at turn 40 with the trainer. I'll play a few more turns and confirm/deny the turn 42 thing. If I succeed and don't crash, some time tonight I'll try playing to turn 68-70 and confirm/deny.

However, on the official Total War boards, someone had a similar issue, but was cheating with a mod. This mod, apparently, triggered the DRM, and the guys are looking into it as it shouldn't be happening. Perhaps it's an over-zealous DRM. There may be a fix in later patches for the DRM, if that's the case.

i was never blaming the trainer or complaining about problems with it, i only wish the patch updates would resolve all the crash issues with the game itself from A to Z. and like the previous post i've also searched steam and total war forums and found same issues about CTDs its a widespread problems and modders who are trying to update their mods from empire/napoleon are taking longer than they want.

another thread just when i pressed back
forums.totalwar.com/showthread.php/10467-Crash-to-desktop-when-ending-term-date-summer-1558

looks like the CA staff is encouraging the customers affected to send them their steam dump files, so if you want you can do that to, just check the last thread i posted and it has the info.

good news is they're working on the patch to fix it
