    Did/does anyone else get a crash to desktop when attempting to start any round in Napoleon: Total War? I verified my steam cache integrity, defragged and anything else I could think of but I can't seem to get it to run. I can get past the menu but when it's loading the tutorial or even a quick battle it crashes to desktop instantly.

    Anyone know if it's m11x related? And how to fix?

    Yes. I had this problem too. All you have to do/only way to fix it is to revert back to Dell's 257.30 drivers.
    Game runs perfect on High settings after that. (R2 i7)

    Same here. Reverting back fixed it for me as well.

    Which drivers are you running? I haven't spent any time with Napoleon on the M11 yet - I'll have to give it a go and see what I find as well.
