:
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.
Freezing on 32-bit systems (Windows)
- The game freezes because Windows cannot allocate enough memory on x86 systems.
