For those of us using OpenSUSE with the latest KDE Plasma, running Feral games is not always straightforward! I hope the following will be of help to anyone who has had trouble starting DoW2 with an OpenSUSE system:
When I first started the game through Steam, I got as far as the 'CD key' screen and then the game crashed with no error message. All the usual tips on the forums didn't work, but after a prompt from Feral support I logged into an LXDE session and found that I could start DoW2 from the command line with a adjustments.
I needed to install libSDL2_ttf-2_0-0 and libSDL2_image-2_0-0. I then entered the '[...]/steamapps/common/Dawn of War 2' directory, executed './bin/DawnOfWar2' and the game started fine; albeit with loads of GLSL error messages.
It seems the conflict is with the current version of kwin. I would assume, but have not confirmed, that if the compositor was disabled in a Plasma 5 session that the game would also start.
Cheers,

Have you tried the official package from the Nvidia website? I've used it a number of times on OpenSuSe and it worked fine.
