Rome2: Play On Linux!!! Guide included.

[RomanRingOnIt]

Ok I got sick of waiting.... like... years...

Anyhow the game now runs perfectly in Linux using the below method, Using the Wine version MADE for TotalWar games you will achieve identical speeds to the winblows versions...



1) Download Play-On-Linux (* PoL *)
2) Download Steam inside PoL
3) Download Rome2 within Steam (* If you cant see the store pages and so forth go into PoL > Configure > Change Wine Version, yourll want the latest "Cross_OverPatch" version *)
4) To play the game in PoL Change the default wine version in configure to the latest version of "TotalWar:Napolean" (* Its 1.74 I think *).
5) Play and Enjoy



Additional Notes:
1 - Mods all work fine, you can downloam them via the linux native Steam by subscribing to them in the ModWorkshop
2 - Only 1 thing doesnt work in the game... the pictures of the faction announcements at the start of each turn doesnt load the image, that is the ONLY issue.
3 - If the game fails to launch at startup in PoL install the packages for Dx9,10 and 11...
4 - Blackscreen at startup = You have the wrong Wine Version set for steam
5 - Game autocloses at startup = You have Mods installed that conflict with each other....

Elaborate? what part doesnt work?

[LiNuX-leillo]

When I hit Start in Launcher, the game shows the SEGA logo and then it crashes

Free or Non-Free Drivers? make sure your wine container in PoL has the usual Fonts, DirectX11 and other "usual" installs, sounds like you simply forgot to make the Wine know what drivers to use. Sparing that issue, Crashing at the Sega logo is "Usually" outdated Mods that no longer work but havnt been flagged outdated yet.

I changed the wine version but still doesnt work

So what's up with this? Is Total War Rome working on Linux? I'm having problems with the Cross_OverPatch in step 3.

This isnt required anymore, install the Vulkan drivers for your graphics card then in the games properties "Photon" for the engine to run the game with, all, native within Normal Linux Steam.

Why not simply using proton?, it's WINE (PoL uses WINE). Proton is WINE with steroids.

Your commenting on a 4 yr old post ( When Proton + Vulkan Didnt exist )
As I told the other Threadmonger above, these steps arnt required anymore as you can run the games by selecting Steam Compatability Mode, Latest Proton version and itll work (So long as you have Wine installed, and used Winetricks to install the .Net 4.7 Framework and Vulkan + DX-With-Vulkan-Support
