Latest Empire: Total War Update Adds New Bugs

March 27, 2009 1:43 PM

An update meant to "fix some random crashes in sound" has actually introduced a new set of problems into Creative Assembly's Empire: Total War (PC) for some players.

Those that now experience crashes when leaving a battle are told to "try turning off sound effects" while the developer readies a more permanent solution.

The top-selling but bug-ridden strategy game has seen two patches released thus far this week, reportedly resolving numerous crashing issues and other glitches.

i guess only "try not playing the game" would qualify as a dumber solution.

  I actually have stopped playing the game just to wait for a working patch. I'm getting through my backlog while they make it more playable.
