Hi guys,

I ran out of space in the old post, so I thought I'd start a new one this week. I've also left this one unlocked so you chaps can add your comments if you like.

A couple of quick updates to bring to you from The Creative Assembly this week. Keen eyed members of the forum might have seen us featuring briefly on the Eurogamer website this week in their video highlights of the event.

We were there for all four days of the event giving careers advice to those looking to get into the games industry, as well as scouting the hottest talent in Britain. Having personally attended the last three Eurogamer Expo events, I have to say that this year was undoubtedly the best of the bunch. We weren’t showing any games at the event, but our friends in the industry showed off some great titles this year. CA favourites included Skyrim, Guild Wars 2 and Battlefield 3.

In other news, how would you like the chance to win a trip to The Creative Assembly? We’ll be running a competition in the next few days. I can’t go into too much detail just yet, but we’re celebrating the fact that we’ve been nominated in two categories for the Golden Joysticks (www.goldenjoystick.com) . We’re up for Best Strategy game and Ultimate Game of the Year, so if you’d like to The Creative Assembly’s name on the trophy, please do vote for us.

Since the launch of Rise of the Samurai, we have of course been keeping a close eye on the forums and checking out feedback. As a result of this, we’ll likely be releasing a hotfix soon to address a couple of issues that we think are affecting the game at the moment, especially with the stats for the Naginata Warrior Monks, which had inadvertently reverted to old values during the build process.

It’s not a massive hotfix, but there are six or seven issues that we’ve remedied, so keep an eye on the forums in the next couple of days for more information on that update when it’s ready to go.

We also now have a Tumblr page, if that excites you. Tumblr is a social network/blogging site that allows you to reblog stuff you find interesting. We are now up and running on there, so do check it out – it will cover all of our games, and we might pop up exciting new features on there from time to time. In the coming weeks and months I’m sure there will be lots of cool stuff to be found on there.

Right now, we’re running a developer Q&A on the page. So if you have a burning question that you’d like answering, drop us a line through the Tumblr page and we’ll do our best to answer it.

I think that’s it. Have a great week, whatever you’re up to.

Hi guys,

It's a bit seat-of-pants today as I'm posting these notes one-handed on the CA Eurogamer Expo stand, but I promised you guys I'd get these out. Please just bear with me if I can't answer questions on the thread right away.

Below is the full list of notes. Apologies if the formatting is a bit screwy - like I said, I'm improvising here


Steam Notes, Free content and Patch notes

• The new Total War Shogun 2: Rise of the Samurai campaign is available Sep 27th. For further information, please go to http://store.steampowered.com/app/34344/

Complete patch contents

Free castle pack

Three newly-designed castles specifically for the Shogun 2 campaign map:

o 1 standard sized castle of new configuration
o 1 standard sized castle on a clifftop with limited approaches
o 1 top-tier castle, considerably larger than any other castle in Shogun 2

Each castle appears across five maps, resulting in 15 new siege battle-map variants.
These maps do not appear in the Rise of The Samurai DLC campaign.

Multiplayer balances and tweaks

Influence point changes:

• Corruption and logistics: clans will suffer a cumulative 5% cost in influence point gain for every province beyond 3 that they own (with a maximum penalty of 95%).
• Points loss: Every time a player loses a match-made battle, they will lose 50% of the clan influence they would have gained for a victory.
Filters:
• A number of filters have been added to help display the strategic situations of your own and other clans in the clan competition.
• You can now cycle through and view all other worlds in the clan competition as well as search for a specific clan and view the world they are operating in
• Filters have been added to sort retainers into smaller concise lists based on units and weapon restrictions.

Rewards:

There is now a series of rewards for players whose clans are promoted:

• Upon promotion to a new Prestige level, Avatars gain +10 Veteran Slots
• Higher-Prestige avatars require consequently more XP to level, and cost more to field.

Spoiler:

Hi everyone,

Patch 2 is almost upon us! We previously said we’d release this in the first week of May, but we’ll now be introducing a tiny delay. Don’t worry though, it’s only until Monday.

We’re exercising a bit of caution in not releasing over the weekend in order to get in as much test time as possible. There’s an enormous amount of fixes in the patch (see below!), and If we release it on a Friday and something goes wrong, we won’t be able to react as quickly over the weekend. The extra testing time will help to make sure we achieve a silky smooth release.

The team has been working really hard, and we know you’ve been waiting, so as a way of saying thank you for your patience, we’ve also sneaked in four brand-new free maps.

We're including:

Aki


Flood plains


Hida mountain


Sanriku Ria



This update will also bring you DirectX11, anti-aliasing support, and a whole caboodle of fixes covering all sorts, from the campaign map to AI behaviour and multiplayer balancing. There’s a lot in there, and we want to get it right!

Happy conquering,

The Creative Assembly.

***

Additions

DirectX 11 support, including:

• Advanced Shadows

The DirectX11 pipeline supports very high quality shadow maps, giving softer shadows with significantly less aliasing compared to DirectX 9.

• Support for MSAA 2x,4x,8x.

Requires Shader Model 4.1 or Shader Model 5 support, not available on Shader Model 4.0.
The DirectX11 pipeline supports Full screen multi-sampled anti-aliasing at 2x,4x & 8x resolutions. Shader Model 4.1 cards will support 2x, 4x MSAA. Shader Model 5 cards will support 2x, 4x, and 8x MSAA

• Enhanced Depth of Field

With Shader Model 4.0 & Shader Model 4.1 you will see enhanced depth-of-field with a dedicated pixel/vertex shader pipeline. With Shader Model 5.0 depth-of-field is accelerated with a Compute Shader, offering very high quality depth-of-field.

• Tessellation Support

Tessellated and normal-mapped rocks and rocky-terrain surfaces (requires Shader Model 5 support). Up close to the camera rocky terrain surfaces are visibly more detailed and realistic.

• Anti-aliasing support

Shogun 2 soundtrack released, getting DirectX 11 patch next month

After the patch, those with DirectX 11 capable graphics cards can take advantage of hardware tessellation and enhanced shadowing. The patch will also add anti-aliasing support.

You can expect a raft of multiplayer fixes and modifications in Patch 2, and beyond." The next patch is due to hit in the first week of May.

Nouveau patch qui devrait sortir lundi 9 mai... Nombreux fix de bug, et surtout compatibilité avec directx 11(accès à l'anticrénelage et aux shader 4 et 5... pour ceux qui ont la carte graphique compatible direct x 11...)

Spoiler:

Patch 2 - here's what's coming!

Hi everyone,

Patch 2 is almost upon us! We previously said we’d release this in the first week of May, but we’ll now be introducing a tiny delay. Don’t worry though, it’s only until Monday.

We’re exercising a bit of caution in not releasing over the weekend in order to get in as much test time as possible. There’s an enormous amount of fixes in the patch (see below!), and If we release it on a Friday and something goes wrong, we won’t be able to react as quickly over the weekend. The extra testing time will help to make sure we achieve a silky smooth release.

The team has been working really hard, and we know you’ve been waiting, so as a way of saying thank you for your patience, we’ve also sneaked in four brand-new free maps.

We're including:

Aki


Flood plains


Hida mountain


Sanriku Ria



This update will also bring you DirectX11, anti-aliasing support, and a whole caboodle of fixes covering all sorts, from the campaign map to AI behaviour and multiplayer balancing. There’s a lot in there, and we want to get it right!

Happy conquering,

The Creative Assembly.

Additions

DirectX 11 support, including:

• Advanced Shadows

The DirectX11 pipeline supports very high quality shadow maps, giving softer shadows with significantly less aliasing compared to DirectX 9.

• Support for MSAA 2x,4x,8x.

Requires Shader Model 4.1 or Shader Model 5 support, not available on Shader Model 4.0.
The DirectX11 pipeline supports Full screen multi-sampled anti-aliasing at 2x,4x & 8x resolutions. Shader Model 4.1 cards will support 2x, 4x MSAA. Shader Model 5 cards will support 2x, 4x, and 8x MSAA

• Enhanced Depth of Field

With Shader Model 4.0 & Shader Model 4.1 you will see enhanced depth-of-field with a dedicated pixel/vertex shader pipeline. With Shader Model 5.0 depth-of-field is accelerated with a Compute Shader, offering very high quality depth-of-field.

• Tessellation Support

Tessellated and normal-mapped rocks and rocky-terrain surfaces (requires Shader Model 5 support). Up close to the camera rocky terrain surfaces are visibly more detailed and realistic.

[fidellefeu]

Ils sortent de nouvelles map multi gratuitement ? sans DLS ? dans de simple patch ?
C'est plutôt inhabituel aujourd’hui dans le jeu video.

[elrond petit pas tapons]

Oui il semblerait...

[ze-cid]

Fixed issue in reinforcements system that allows multiple armies to feed more units into one army than is allowed on the battlefield

tentative de traduction :
résolution du bug dans le système de renforts qui permet aux armées multiples d'alimenter plus d'unités dans une armée qu'il n'en est permit sur le champ de bataille.

Est-ce que cà veut dire que les renforts vont vraiment attaquer au lieu de rester plantés là comme des demeurés ??
J'esprère que c'est cà, mais le doute me ronge.

[Pakal]

Salut!Je suis furibar. Mon jeu de Shogun 2 fonctionnait PARFAITEMENT et voilà que steam me fait une mise à jour d'office et du coup le jeu ne fonctionne plus du tout.Il refuse même de démarrer
Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider?

[Rem]

Avais-tu des mods installés ? Si oui, désinstalles-les, et fais une vérification du cache du jeu via Steam. Sinon, réinstallation...

[Silvanost]

Bonjour j'ai exactement le même problème que Pakal, le jeu shogun 2 total war ne veut plus se lancer (message steam : "le jeu n'est pas disponible pour le moment, veuillez réessayé plus tard"). De plus je n'ai eu aucune mise à jour, mais quand je veut lancer le jeu j'ai plusieurs options :

- jouer au jeu
- encyclopeadia
-benchmark directx11
-etc

J'en ai marre de ce steam pourri !!!!!!!!!!!!

Merci d'avance pour vos solutions.

[elrond petit pas tapons]

Moi j'ai fait "jouer au jeu" et cela m'a téléchargé le patch (1h30 de téléchargement...)

[Rem]

En principe si ces options sont dispos cela voudrait dire que le patch a bien été installé...une vérification des fichiers cache de steam peut-être ?

[Silvanost]

Comment on vérifie les fichiers cache? Par vérifier tu entend supprimer ?

[Turambar]

Dans Steam, tu fais un clic droit sur le jeu, propriétés, fichiers locaux, vérifier l'intégrité du cache.

[Silvanost]

ok merci

[Silvanost]

Ok la méthode a fonctionné, maintenant ça marche, merci encore pour votre aide
