The other way is to only delete a few specific files by (and I'm copying from a user on the steam forums), 'Users\ \AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\logs' then opened the. After that I opened Shogun and with a slight pause it finally worked. It took Steam about 2 hours to get everything back. There's two ways to do this: I deleted everything in there and then verified my cache. Go into your steamapps\common\total war shogun 2 folder and open up your 'data' folder. Here's what I did to fix it and a few things other people can try if my fix doesn't work: I have JUST solved this issue and have been working on it for weeks.
