DLC
| The game is expected to feature extensive post-release DLC, much like its predecessors; if you play only the base game, you will miss a substantial amount of overall content. |

Notes |
Cosmetic
| Confirmed future DLC, Blood for the Blood God, is cosmetic only as it will add gore effects, but if you own the same DLC for Total War: Warhammer or Total War: Warhammer II, you do not need to rebuy it.[9] |
Finite spend
| Each DLC can be only bought once, putting a cap on total spend. |
Unlock
| You get a set of races in the base game, but the remainder of the races are locked behind real-money transactions. |

Advisor only. CA originally announced they'll be dropping Russian language support for future DLCs for the game starting with Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, but with the announcement of Shadows of Change they went back on this decision after the response from the community.[11] |

Issues fixed
Inconsistent framerates and/or stuttering with 12th generation Intel CPUs on Windows 10
- This issue has been fixed by the 1.0.1 update.[12]
Create a script file to redefine how the CPU runs the game[13]
|
- Navigate to the configuration files location.
- Create a new text file named
user.script .
- Open the
user.script file and add the following lines, taking care to include all punctuation and spaces: HYBRID_CPUS_TREAT_ALL_CORES_UNIFORMLY true; number_of_threads 5; , save the file and run the game.
- If this does not help, the developer recommends upgrading to Windows 11.
|
Game is stuck on the loading screen and/or text does not appear in the Microsoft Store version
Manually edit the preferences script to set the default language[13]
|
- Navigate to the configuration files location for the Microsoft Store version.
- Create or open the
preferences.script file.
- Set the following lines:
language_text ""; language_audio ""; to language_text "en"; language_audio "en"; .
- Save the file and run the game.
- This issue seems isolated to players running the game in the Russian, Polish, or Italian languages. You can temporarily swap your game to English by using the fix above to bypass the issue and progress to playing the game.
|
Game freezes in Multiplayer lobby on the Microsoft Store version
