Hi guys, hows the party last night. Sorry can't join you guys, cause last minute need to take my mom to my uncles' place at cheras. missed the game...   so are you guys playing tonight?

Im on tonight hope no nagging parents.
I'll start packing 1st b4 I get nagged......
Hmm its fine over here I do not feel any bugs the loading time seems faster, how do we get 4 row shots in multiplayer btw?

For me, i did not notice any sound issue, but my previous save game for the grand campaign still ctd if i continue to attack copenhagen or the huron in us. Is it suppose to start a new campaign for the patch to be effective? or can continue the old save game? anyone still have any ctd issues?

When i playing India i hapus the persian and almost end the Ottoman empire LOL but the time is 1750 already..ends...if i click continune i can ends ottoman empire in 10 more turns. Cairo , Damacus , Jurusalem all under my India already.

BTW these day internet so shit...keep on disconnect cannot log in to steam so cannot play Empire for few days already

o i thought steam auto patch?!

well i was playing since the 2nd chapter where i must capture louisburg,then i palyed until Turn 39,then it crashed,i didnt save it,but i went in again,i saw it was in autosave...so i click,then after that crash,and again and again

Internet in my area is pretty crap right now, I am really not sure I can play tonight. Shitty internet + possible plans = do not wait for me 

Emm Friday I emm cannot connect to Stream...... No picture?

only rm 30 diff between collectors and normal ed?

collectors got 6 special units ingame ..for what faction/nation? if normal version can't unlock or download the extra units?

everytime i quit the game it crasher wtf

Personally I have more or less shelved ETW until they improve it so I won't be joining.

AI too shitty, performance issues and I am still getting some "new" CTDs during battles (like happened in the last time) which I was not getting before.

For now I am back to Civ4, way less eye candy, but at least the AI is worth it, does naval invasion and do not bother me every two turn for one of my city.

The next gameplay patch is supposed to have "Rare naval invasion" according from one developer on official forum, for me it just show they really rushed the game out with a sucky AI and now they have to rework the whole thing to make it better than a guinea pig's intelligence. CA for me focused way too much on nice graphisms and did a step backward on gameplay and AI from previous TW games.

The multiplayer games were nice and fun with you guys, but too unstable on my machine (I realised I usually managed to finish only 2/3 of my battles as average, the rest ended up as CTD and co)

I think ETW will be good in few months when CA will have worked on it, I will wait for patches and mods to be out before starting again, right now I have a bitter taste in the mouth each time I think of the solo campain. 

Xp or Vista?

Basically the saved games are in the AppData folder if you know what I am talking about.

Under XP just do Start -> Run

Type %appdata% (with the two % signs), type Enter

You should see a "The Creative Assembly" folder in it, the saves are in it.

No idea for Vista but it's something very similar (just the AppData folder is located somewhere else)

You should be fine after reinstalling, I would think since the folder is not under the Steam main folder it should not overwrite them.

Not sure if you can have Steam "search" the games you had installed previously and thus avoid to have to reinstall them, I am still quite noob in Steam...

Dear Empire Total War community,

I am currently having a shit load of problem trying to run my copy of Empire Total War.

I have reinstalled both steam and Empire Total War more than 3 times, unfortunately the problematic message "This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time." keeps reoccurring, it's seriously very annoying not being able to play a game i paid so much money for.

I've tried everything that was stated in this website. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article...=4595-WEXN-6831
Yet to no avail.

I seriously don't really mind not being able to play in multilayer, all i want to do is play the god damn game!! Yet it doesn't let me do it.

Any solutions or help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Turn Steam to offline mode if you dont want to play multiplayer.
Sorry I couldn't attach any screenshots of the previous multiplayer marathon but...

Regentcid is the player of the week for a good display of finesse in the land battle and aggressive naval manoeuvring. COngratulations...I promise screenshots in the next multiplayer marathon.
