u/Potential-Skit-763

I have plenty of experience with the franchise and have played since Rome I. Most of the games I have played on the hardest difficulty too. Just started getting into WH3 and the grand IE campaign. I wanted to start with Imrik because of the dragon focus but gave up after 4 attempts, none of which I survived longer than 20 turns. Now I tried Tyrion as the supposed easy faction. But now I am in turn 15ish and face a similar issue as in the other campaign. Despite playing on Normal/Normal, the AI comes at me with 2 full stacks while I can only afford the 1. In this case its the Vampire Pirates, lead by a level 20 hero, while mine has only made it to level 7. There must be something I am doing fundamentally wrong that the AI on such a low level is out-ecoing, out-teching and out-producing me so hard. With Imrik it was much worse tbh as I was getting attacked by several factions.

Maybe I am approaching WH3 wrong alltogether, but it seems to me that its not possible to afford more than one full stack of basic units in the early game. And when that one army gets demolished by 2 full stacks with higher tier units its basically over already.

Can you give me some general pointers? There must be something I am not seeing.

Description of Original Problem: Hello! Just bought and installed EA FC 26 and the game launches but gets stuck on compiling shaders. There is no progress bar appearing and the GPU usage is at 0% while cpu sits at maybe 3-4%. My other integrated GPU works just fine, except its not good enough to run the game. On top, when I try to stop the game with the task manager, it just moves from to background processes and the task manager becomes unusable. Only restarting the computer fixes this.

Troubleshooting: I reinstalled the drivers, deleted the cache and did a shader reset. No luck so far. Other games work just fine. Startig EA FC with dx11 also does not make a difference. What is it with the RX 9060 XT and EA FC 26 that could cause this?

Hey!

I just bought the game at a sale and installed it. When I launch, the game goes into fullscreen and is stuck on the shader compile screen. The bar showing progress does not even appear and there is zero progress. If I kill the game with the task manager, the game moves into background processes and I have to restart the computer to un-stuck the task manager. My integrated GPU is much weaker but when I start the game with that, it works (stuttering hard of course). Does anyone have experiences with this issue? Couldn't find anything online ...
I have already reinstalled the drivers and cleared caches, repaired the game .... I am at a loss truly.

I played the tutorial campaign (which didnt progress after Kashyyk for some reason) and I am still at a loss as to how the hell I am supposed to approach space and ground battle. I am just getting destroyed hard. The only "advise" I have found is that "you need to be like actually tactical about it" but I have no idea what that means. How do I not suck at tactical battles in this mod?
