I'm also having the gun sound issue again. On Yari Ashigaru but only when using fire arrows, havn't tested on anything else

Hello, I recently played through the historical battles on FOTS again and the republican infantry you fight at the end still has the cannon sounds. Wouldn't be too big of an issue, but I'm also doing a coop campaign with a friend on one of us might become a republic, does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Don't know why but the game has become too easy, used to be a darthmod campaign on legendary meant multi-stack armies coming for you and crazy diplomacy.
Was so fun just trying to survive as Uesegi or Mori, having to use every exploit and battle glitch just to get to the next turn. But now it just feels like vanilla, have tried re-installing the game and the mod but nothing works, makes it kinda unplayable. By turn 30 you can already see how you're gonna win.

@Konrad i don't remember exactly, but there was an update of shogun 2 maybe one year ago which caused the mods to not work anymore
if you installed the game before this update, you should try to uninstall it and then reinstall

@Yup, i tried in custom battles and couldn't reproduce the issue with chosokabe archers
I will launch a chosokabe campaign later to see what happen

nether this or the OG DarthMod is working for me i dont know why

Update for Quentillus:

Chosokabe Bow Samurai and now Heavy Bune. All maps, all conditions, all the time.

when you start the game, in the launcher, youu should go to the mod tab and then activate my mod before launching the game
in game you can notice that the mod is working with the nuumber of entity per unit (it is higher with darthmod) and with the background of unit cards (they will have different background colors)

hey, thanks for the effort here. May i know how to know if Darthmod is installed correctly?

Hi Quentilius,

For me, it's Chosokabe Bow Samurai only, so far. They sound like cannons.

Sound is fixed on my side, i just recheck the mod with all archers units and it's working properly
Please try to only activate this mod are give me more details so i can investigate (unit type, map...)
I didn't check the bullet trails issue yet

Anyone know how to use this and get bullet trails back? Or a mod that readds it?

Sound is not fixed:) Firearms sound with archers:)

Sbdy has a mod wich increase size units?

the bullet trails are not visible... is it possible to turn it on?

@NiveusT This is intended and I recommend you keep it on. It allows you to prevent AI naval memes.

Is it the Darth Mod that is adding in this "sphere of influence" for boats? Their area of control is weirdly large for me for some reason... To the point that I can't even move units anywhere. Even when the boats are far away... There a way to turn it off? I like the idea but the size is way too big. I can't even move my units to my own city to defend it from land people.

It seems to be working perfectly. Other than the modded tag on the home screen, is there supposed to be any type of Darth splash screen? Trying to figure out if it is really working. Bows seem to be working fine.

In coop, me and a friend are having a 299 black screen around turn 30, sometimes takes longer sometimes it's on turn 30 is there any fix for this?

Curse the Steam 1000 character limit - my post detailing how I fixed it was 2.5k and included a note on Raezen's suggestion about fixing the vanilla starting unit counts (those line infantry and stuff you start with that have 200 men instead of 300+). A word to the wise: the fix they suggested works, but it does impact the amount of men per unit you recruit in the future also. So you get like 379 men in a levy pike instead of 375. Not a big deal for me; worth it to deal with the vanilla starting units. They cause me a lot of angst and I always delete them early as a result, but you honestly kind of need them early-game.

For those still struggling, I ended up having to do a clean reinstall of the game to get mods to play nice. That includes deleting not only the game directory (do NOT rely on Steam to do this for you!) as well as the save files and preference files etc. Make sure you back up any save files or Reshade presets or mods that are not subscribed on Steam, ie copy and paste stuff that will not automatically reinstall somewhere else before you delete stuff:

1. Uninstall game from Steam.

2. Go to your game install directory and delete the entire game directory. Example, I deleted this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War SHOGUN 2

If you're unsure where your game directory is, you can right click your game in Steam and Browse Local Files, that puts you inside of the game directory you need to delete.

3. Go to the directory containing Shogun 2 preferences and saves. I deleted this folder: C:\Users\samwi\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly.

I got it working, but it took a little research. My friend with windows 11 for sure cant get it to work.

Sorry guys, it seems CA mod manager is bugged with this game
I will try to fix this, but i am not sure to be able to

Well, i guess CA killed all the mods. I keep crashing...

some sounds dont work, i dont hear explosions or some musket fire

not working on windows :(

Not working on MAC os

For all the people having problems with initial unit sizes on ultra, you can fix it by simply:
go to > %appdata%Roaming//the_creative_assembly/shogun2/scripts/preferences.script

change the line
From:
campaign_unit_multiplier 1; # campaign_unit_multiplier <float>, Set default unit multiplier for campaign #

to:
campaign_unit_multiplier 1.01; # campaign_unit_multiplier <float>, Set default unit multiplier for campaign #

it will add one to 3 more units to some cards but will fix the problem.

Thanks for uploading this.

Seems like all of the total war games are breaking.

MattMan569 it has been a few years since your comment about people being unappreciative and complaining when others work for free to enhance something that others will benefit from--and in 2023 the entitlement of self, where people think the universe revolves around them has only gotten worse.

wtf is up with the diplomacy in this mod? i have several factions with very positive and military alliances randomly declare war on me. even during a war they are STILL very friendly but wont peace. makes no sense at all

Hi, unsure if its this particular mod but there is a problem where lots of units have their names removed from unit cards.

The new in-built mod manager works fine now if you delete the user.script.txt (...AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts).

Incidentally, for those looking to disable the colour-coded unit cards (without fiddling with launcher, missing in the Steam version),
this mod seems to cover them up nicely and very close to original vanilla style.
(E.g. if you are using additional unit mods, such as AUM-SHO for Darthmod.)

I followed Meraun's instructions to enable mods. The 12 Turns per year mod is not working. How can I activate it?

i cant physically get mods to work and idk why

To reenable mods : go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUBYJp0FjPA

Legolas, go to the Game files in your Steamfolder. You will find a modmanager.exe there

Is there any way of knowing if the mod is activated ? there is no mod manager in shogun 2, I`ve subscribed to this one here, how can I check if it works properly & it is actiavated ?

Thank you. The link in the original mod page is broken!

Does anyone know of any submods for this mod that replaces the bayonets with a triangular socket type (similar to ValorBoss's Bayonet mod)?

I think it's the bow dojo samurai. It seems like they have some bonus effects too--they took out a whole unit pretty quick so something seems messed up

I'm noticing there's still a sound issue with some of the bow units. Does anyone have any ideas? There are no other mods I'm using that should conflict

why do archers shoot their arrows so spread out. they barly hit anything on siege battles when enemies are taking cover at walls

It turned out if you have both mods enabled ( The original and this one) It will give the basic line infantry the cannon sound. Don't know about other units, Still testing them.

Line infanty has cannon sounds.

Noticing the Levy garrison firing sounds like cannons and sometimes is doing the morale shock of them as well?.

@Captain Sternn
i don't think the issue comes from these mods
but maybe just try to deactivate them and then test if it works without them

I installed Darthmod Customized and had that problem, then I switched to this Darthmod Sound Fix Mod and deactivated Darthmod Customized, but that problem persisted into this Darthmod with sound fix. Could it be my other mods that effect units? I would suspect Increased Bow Units RoF (Mod), Kisho Ninja Fix (Mod), New Ninja Units Pack (Mod)

So i tried to reproduce your issues (except the one with torches, i will try this later) and all seem to work fine on my side
did you activate only my mod and not the original darthmod too ?
