Napoleon Total War incompatible with 12th Gen Intel

SylVinci

Good evening, since the acquisition of a 12th generation Intel processor (i5-12600k) Napoleon Total War no longer wants to launch, when I click on "play" from Steam the game goes into launch state for about 2 seconds, nothing is displayed and the game does not start, then the "play" button reappears instantly.
Indeed I guess it comes from the 12th generation processors because on the Napoleon Total War Steam threads a lot of people are complaining about this problem.
Being a very big fan of this Total War with more than 500 hours of games on it, it bothers me a lot not to be able to play it anymore, thank you for trying to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Have a good evening.

I have the same problem with an i7 12th generation since november. Empire Total War works for me but not Napoleon. I wrote Sega and Creative Assembly and they said, it is my fault, i haven´t the minimal requeriments hahahaha. I have red about this 12th generation micros and intel and microsoft are working in an update. My friends, i think we only have to wait. good luck

Nothing has been done yet. Not patch. Thousands of users paid money for this game and they cannot play it now because they upgraded the CPU to Intel 12th generation...

I opened a ticket with SEGA support.
The answer is to see with Total War support.

As usual, they are playing tennis.

It may be this DRM issue with the processors https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-alder-lake-drm-game-list-workaround/

Perhaps try the workaround suggested and if that works it might be worth contacting Intel to see if they can fix it with CA.

Before anybody feels the need to keep repeating this thread. CA says its under investigation but no timeframe just watch thier mainstream news outlets to see if they going to announce a fix. Wasn't told if it was a priority in the support ticket either. bare in mind its May and this post is March and they still investigating.
