Total War: Shogun 2 (flt & ALI213, LAN multiplayer)

Merge of flt and ALI213 update+crack, and added smartsteam. Only English update files, skipped all other languages and the the Chinese things. This "fix" requires steam to be installed on the PC (not included), and makes use of smartsteam (included). It's recommended that you make a new steam account as not to risk your regular one. Smartsteam can be run parallel to regular steam, but only one at the time. Only tested this patch on v1.0.0 of the game, build after applying the patch is 3272.0 HOWTO: Unzip and replace all files in the shogun 2 folder. 1. Create a new steam account, you don't want to use your regular account with smartsteam. 2. Exit Steam. 3. Start smartsteam (either by using the x64/x86 in the smartsteam folder, or by copying smartsteam to your steam folder and starting it from there) 4. Start Shogun2.exe and enjoy multiplayer LAN games. Notice: you might want to use "Tunngle" to connect with other players online to play "LAN" games over the Internet.

multiplayer games ain't work properly even with original version.....doubt this will be better

Um, no idea what you mean by "properly", but I'm using this and I'm able to play multi player LAN games with this. I don't know if there's some minor part in the gameplay or the "Online" multiplayer option with an avatar that you're referring to. The "Online" mode doesn't work with this version, only the LAN part. I haven't noticed anything not working thus far. I'm able to both host and join LAN games with this version. And I'm doing so over tunngle, so there's almost always someone to play with.

Whenever I try to make a LAN game, it comes up with :
"Failed to host game"
I know the Chinese crack or whatever said this, so I made a fresh install and only used your crack that you supplied, but it still says that. Anyway to get around this message and host ? I'm using the 64-bit version of SmartSteam.

Same Prob as Arcaian. failed to host.

This is bs... doesnt even work. FAIL

This torrent is fake. Neither the ALI213 crack or the FLT crack works on LAN, both disables steam. So why would you be able to play LAN if you merge them? lol......

Can confirm that this definitely doesn't work. I've tried multiple cracks/patchs, Tunngle, Hamachi, Old Hamachi, SmartSteam, and several of them in conjunction, none of it gets LAN to work. There may be some way to do it, but unfortunately the people who write these guides always provide incredibly lackluster instructions.
