Video
- Set the Shader Model setting to Shader Model 5 and check the Soft Shadows setting while in the DX11 mode to use high quality shadows.
- Switch to the DX9 mode if loading takes too long. If the shadows are blocky uncheck the Soft Shadows setting. Shadows on this mode are worse than in the DX11 setting.

Issues fixed
Random Stop Working Error
- No proper fix known yet.
Verify Your Game Cache[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Uncheck Tessellation in Graphics Options[citation needed] |
---|
Shogun 2 not starting
- If the game doesn't start, try deleting
preferences.script.txt
:
Delete preferences.script.txt[citation needed] |
---|
|
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.
"Cursor Lock" fix[citation needed] |
---|
|
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 shortened by switching from DirectX 11 to DirectX 9.
- This will restrict the game to use Shader Model 3 and MLAA among other things.
Freezing on 32-bit systems (Windows)
- The game freezes because Windows cannot allocate enough memory on x86 systems.
Prepare the OS to be able to use beyond 2GB address space with a userva of 2.5GB[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Incorrect VRAM size detection for modern video cards (Windows)
- The game is limited by its 32-bit nature and will fail to correctly detect the available VRAM size on cards with more than 4 GB of memory.
Override available video memory size[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Campaign camera no longer controllable
- Mouse and keyboard camera controls no longer function.
