Video settings
- 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.
| 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.
Freezing on 32-bit systems (Windows)
- The game freezes because Windows cannot allocate enough memory on x86 systems.
| Instructions |
|---|
Campaign camera no longer controllable
- Mouse and keyboard camera controls no longer function.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/34330/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (34330) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
