Resolution for my laptop (1366 vs768) isn't available, so the best next thing I get is the old 1024x768, which leaves two black columns in both sides of my screen (not a real issue).
I download Oracle Virtualbox, and after some tweaking around, I got Shogun Total War to work. I got a Windows XP SP3 iso image, and have been using that for my experiments. I read that the graphic settings of both games are simply incompatible with Windows 8, and read in a number of websites (including this one), that using virtual machines could be a possible way to get to play them. Both immediately crash after intro credits. Rome Total War Gold Edition and Alexander seem to work just fine, but both Shogun Total War Gold Edition, as well as Medieval Total War Gold Edition are impossible to play. Hello there, I am currently using Windows 8 in my laptop, and I would like to play again the Total War Eras collection package I bought years ago. Originally posted at: (VMWare-VirtualBox-etc) I am copying it all here, so you guys can also take a look at it: I posted this previously in the website see if anyone could help me there. Here is my current situation, explained in detail. Or simply put, the only way to play this game is to install Windows XP in a host country? Is there any way to make MTW work on Win 8 or in Virtual Machines (won't mind downloading yet another virtualisation software)? Units and trees have notorious black boxes around them, units don't move at all when you click on the terrain, and even scrolling over the terrain with the arrow keys is unbearably slow. I've already tried both VMWare and VMWare Workstation, both run the game, but the battle lag/errors makes it impossible to play. When exactly is the game crashing?Īfter I put on my DVD, I double click the desktop icon of the Gold Edition, the small square appears, there is a 20 sec delay, screen goes black (as if to load the game), but there instead of the two cinematics that are supposed to play, an error sound + box appears that return me to desktop, saying something like ""An Error Has Occurred While Initializing Direct3D.". I'm not familiar with Virtualbox, so I'm not sure how much help I can give.
The engines are close, but not exactly the same.
