Shogun 2: Total War Message Board  

Ok on a windows vista 64-bit system the savegames can be found at C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\save_games

Cant vouch for other systems but probably similar

Word of warning appdata is by default a hidden dirctory

I don't believe anyone here was trying to blame the trainer or not appreciate the trainer and your hard work PWizard. I understand a lot of people whine too much and have no patience, but in this case people were just trying to figure how to use the trainer without the game shutting down. It obviously appears this is a DRM issue and people are just trying to see what and where the issue is and how to resolve it

I had to take The Great War mod off of my machine because Napoleon kept doing CTD.
TWC is the bomb! For MODS, that is, of course CH takes the trainer cake!!

Thanks, found it
FYI: if you use %whatever% in search box it will come up.
%appdata% is how I found it without going through folder options, then having to go through it again.
That's if it's hidden....lolz

I had this happen with Medieval II and Empire. Was hoping they ironed it out this time, but every time they stick a time event in a campaign it always causes a problem. Too many variables to consider.

My game CTDs a few turns after I took Koyoto

I didnt create the thread at all to blame the trainer, not at all. Instead created the topic as a place where we can try to identify the problem and fix it our selves. Unlike alot of the community, we are not so helpless and are a little more savvy to fix things our selves.

This problem is also cropping up not just from trainer use, but from mods and modding of files. I know alot of us here intend to be playing Shogun 2 for a while(Big fan of Total War), so once we all can figure out the problem, the more fun we can have with the game.

Honestly, alot of these problems are just what PWiz says, its the developers crap. Ever since the abandoned the old Medieval 2 style scheme for their engines, there has been many lackluster features and downright annoying development choices. Its a shame the developer has to alienate its fan base, in prusuit of DRM schemes that ultimately do not work.

Anyways, I've been wandering the Total War forums and a couple of the modders might have a file out soon to try to circumvent this annoying DRM, which will make modding files and anything else we want much easier.

Indeed? Be sure to keep us posted on any success with this file
