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.
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 loading times are only so extreme when using DirectX11. If the game is run in DirectX9 mode the loading times, while long, are much more manageable. To disable DX11, go into the video options and change the option to DirectX9. Bear in mind, this will restrict you to Shader Model 3 and MLAA among other things, so this makes the game look worse (though only marginally). Only disable DX11 if you don't mind setting the graphics lower, or you think shorter loading times are worth having lower graphics.
