**EMPIRE TOTAL WAR**

True, the total war games have always bit a touch buggy :)

CA definately should have play tested it longer and worked on it a bit more, although I have been lucky in regards to crashes many people havent. No doubt Sega is more to blame for time constraints than CA. Irrespective of that though, constructive criticism/complaint threads shouldnt be deleted, its akin to a shopkeeper slaming a door in a customers face who is being reasonable, its just rude.

Cant say that I mind Steam all that much, didnt have it installed before E:TW as I didnt play anything that used it, but I didnt mind installing it for Empire.
 
Well i hope i can get your level of stability in the game soon and start enjoying it at least it is working for you so i know where to come if i do get it working nicely and need hints :D.
 
I heard on the Steam forums that Sega is having finance troubles. This could mean that the franchise will go back to Activision in future, who might do a better job at funding the project :)
 
Does anyone here have Rome Total War or Medieval 2 Total War and Creative Alchemy installed? If so, could you do me a favor and tell me what settings are used by those games in alchemy?

Not sure what M2TW uses as I dont have it installed at the moment, but I have my empire on alchemy with the following :

4
25
128
 
ive had no problems with crashing or anything really, but the game just isnt as good as medieval 2, the battles are borring with units which just fire guns :(, and there so retarded at shooting too!
 
i had plenty of ctd and found that most of them have been because of trying to move navy around. When i have reloaded and tried the same move it crashed again. So i tend not have many units in ports. A good thing to remember is what you were trying to do when it crashed.

With this setting, all the interface noises are duplicated. So e.g. when I press a tick box or click a settlement the noise is made twice.
Is it not the same for you then?

Hmm, nope all normal for me. I have a creative X-fi xtremegamer with the driver version 6.01.1368 if thats any help. I did see a post on a forum a while back where some guy said his alchemy is better on 6,5,128 but I havent tried it on those settings as its been ok for me on these.
 
This game is doing my swede in!

I never had problems before the update, and now I get loads of CTD. Especially in the middle of bloody battle! Before long I'm gonna un-install the update. Its driving me insane.

How do you un-install an update?

I feel for you, I wish I could tell you what it is that has enabled me to not have any crashes but I dont know why it is. Probably just luck.

Theres another patch due this week I think, hopefully that will help you.
 
In other games I've seen on Steam it dosen't give you an option to select which patches you want but just installs everything upto the final version.

I didn't pay much attention to it before so I could have missed something.
 
New patch out today chaps, restart your Steams :)

Lots of fixes, main thing for me is that now I can click on my fleets without a 30 second pause.

Is it a big one? (fnarr!)

I tried the first battle on Empire Total War where I was a bunch of settlers fighting off the natives? I won that, fairly easily and so when I got a prompt asking if I want to carry on and anihilate them or end the battle there and then I wanted to end it there. Cue the game not doing anything and the soldiers and natives still moving around but I can't interact with anything. Had to CTRL+ALT+DEL out. That fixed?

Oh and where are you getting patch info such as fixes and release dates?

Said it on Steam, apparently it fixes numerous crashes, multiplayer aspects fixed among other things.
 
Lovely, I wasnt getting any crashes but downloaded the patch anyway. Had to fiddle with my many mods a bit to get them all working again, but all hunky dory again now :D

Looking forward to their next update with the AI fixes.
