Does anyone have any advice for stalled launch of total war shogun 2? Dialog box appears for a second then just black screen, have tried everything else suggested on the web, i.e verifying game cache, checking drivers, reinstalling.... thanks

thanks, yeah 2am here. Um, I should be fine, I've got a new alienware M14x, so i think it has an i7 processor, 6 g ram, should be enough?gamer_serious
1. Run the Visual C++ redist setup again. This can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\redist\vcredist_x86.exe, or your equivalent directory (varies according to OS). 2. Delete or rename your preferences script. This can be found by typing %appdata% in any navigation bar then hitting enter. Navigate to The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts\ and delete or rename the file preferences.script.txt 3. Verify the integrity of your game cache. Right click on Shogun 2 and click Properties. Then navigate to the local files tab and click "Verify integrity of game cache...". This ensures your version of Shogun 2 is exactly the same working version that appears on the server. 4. Delete your Steam ClientRegistry.blob file. This can be found in your Steam installation folder (for me it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam)
Thanks - I've tried 1,3 and 4 several times but no luck, and I just can't find the prefs script, can't even find creativeassembly in the appdata folder. i think its something else because cinematics for warcraft 3 don't work either :/

Could also try running in compatibility mode, other than that, I suggest you head to the total war forums. Hope it all works out for you.
Ok, for anyone who reads this or cares, I got lucky and found a solution when I was trying to fix this: download VLC it must have some codec or something that makes TW: S2 work. After i did that the launch worked and I got a choice to use Direct X 11 or 9, choose 9 and it works. Miracle.
