Issues fixed

Random Stop Working Error

No proper fix known yet.
Instructions

Shogun 2 not starting

If the game doesn't start, try deleting preferences.script.txt:
Instructions

Mouse Cursor Unrestricted

The game does not restrict the mouse cursor, meaning that on multi-monitor configurations instead of moving the camera, the mouse will go onto the other screen, effectively crippling the ability to effectively move the camera in that direction.
Instructions

Extreme Loading Time

Shogun 2 suffers from rather ridiculous loading times (the first loading splash screen can take over 5 minutes to load. However, These can be partly shorted by switching from DirectX 11 to DirectX9.
This will restrict the game to use Shader Model 3 and MLAA among other things.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/201270/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (201270) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
