For many, “Fixes to prevent desynchronisation (desync) in multiplayer campaign modes” will be the highlight of the latest round of updates to Total War: Shogun 2. Syncing up a multiplayer campaign requires the PCs running each instance of the campaign to high five every now and then to make sure everything is where it should be. Some people’s games were, tragically, missing high fives and then failing to catch follow up hits up high, down low AND on the rebound.
This patch will hopefully help with all that, but also adds a few visual tweaks in the form of an updated shader to “improve lighting in battles throughout the game,” horse animation transitions have been smoothed out, and the game is now more compatible than ever with Radeon HD7 cards. Here’s the full update list from Steam.
Total War is at the heart of the Steam Summer Sale today. Shogun 2 is 40% discounted. All of the other Total War games (apart from the original Shogun) are available in a big cheap bundle, available today at a quarter of its normal price.
