Do you have Win11?

Yes. New computer.

It is a result of botched Win 11 update by Microsoft that messed up a lot of games. You need to do below to fix battle loading crash.


1. Launch the Game – Start Total War: Rome II
2. Open Task Manager
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
Alternatively, you can right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.
3. Go to the Details Tab
In Task Manager, click on the Details tab at the top.
Look for rome2.exe in the list of running processes.
4. Set CPU Affinity
Right-click rome2.exe and select Set Affinity from the dropdown menu.
5. Unselect Some CPU Cores
A window will appear showing which CPU cores the game is using.
Uncheck a few cores (for example, if you have 6 cores, uncheck CPU 9 to 11).
Click OK to apply the changes.
6. Resume the Game
This fix can be applied even if the game has already frozen—just follow the same steps to unfreeze it.

Thank you very much! I have like 19 CPUs though, so I just unchecked the top ones. Is there any way to make this permanent or do I just have to do it each time I enter the game?
