Quoting: sonicPlease tell me...should I wait for Linux version of Rome II few more years or just grab the Windows version?

PS: If anybody is still following this thread:
I just succeeded in playing 'Ancient Empires' via the 'Steam Workshop' and the (relatively new) 'Total War Mod Manager':
By running Steam through Wine (4.5 staging) with the "-no-cef-sandbox" argument (as recommend on winehq and anywhere else)
PLUS after installing "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and "ubuntu-restricted-addons" (otherwise fonts appear distorted within the Workshop and the Mod Manager) on my system.
Thus 'Ancient Empires' (part I and II files) + 2 submods launched rather flawlessly.
In Attila/AE: Benchmark, custom battle and Grand Campaign start.
There remains some a problem though, parts of units and landscape appear somewhat greyish.
This may be video driver related, or I simply did not find the just setting yet.

being working on lutris for about 3 months

Really? Under 'wine steam' (where I crash back to desktop)?
Or do you use another 'manager' - or a particular wine/proton version?
Much obliged.

No i use lutris and the script on there never had a problem
you will need the following

corefonts
d3dx9
tahoma
vcrun2005
vcrun2008
vcrun2010
also windows 7 then run it in 1024 x 768 to get it running then switch to what ever your screen resolution any kind of AA and it will crash.

My apologies for answering so late, didn't find the opportunity to try it out until this evening.
Holy Throne! It works! Just butchered myself through hordes of orks and goblins.
Thanks again!

I'd buy Attila instead, which runs native and according to most reviews and my experience (played the grand campaign as Frankish empire) has better game mechanics than Rome II - if you don't mind the later scenario.
With Attila one ought also to keep an eye on the 'Ancient Empires' mod [External Link] - which brings the classic Roman Age (with more historic details and factions than Rome II, and his hailed by some gaming articles as 'Rome II as the fans would have wished it to be') to Attila.
It is presently in beta BUT does NOT YET run under Linux, since the download is via Steam Workshop only - and that one is not compatible with native Attila.
However other, also larger mods downloadable from moddb for Attila, where several (Middle Ages, Game of Thrones, Tolkien, etc.) are in the making, [External Link] and work just fine with the workaround for Attila mods under Linux [External Link]. And should the 'Ancient Empires' mod become downloadable via moddb or any other common source it ought to be playable as well.

Quoting: KuromiNow i regret not going into Gwent :(
Wish i have Ruiner 50% off or something code. Now i have to wait for next sale, oh well.

Well, getting GOG Galaxy and the GWENT Beta running under Wine was - at least then -a pain in the neck...
And, as I just checked, the GOG discount codes for GWENT-players are NO LONGER VALID.

Next discount, more luck ;-)

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLThanks for info. I opened spam folder and there gog email with gog dicount code... and with it Tyranny just for 9,75 USD :woot: OFC in local price :)

Proszę bardzo! Glad someone could profit from that info. And seeing that map of yours I am tempted to buy Hearts of Iron IV and start a campaign as Poland.

People with a GWENT-account (had it running through wine half a year ago) also received a GOG-Discount code today by mail, maybe you also found one in your spam folder ;)

50-75% percent off for a dozen of titles, which include:

- Ruiner
- Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition
- Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
- Pyre

Quoting: TheRiddickOpen up a issue on the github about it, you will be surprised how often people respond with helpful info.

Thanks, mate, that's at least some perspective. Shall post there later.

Did anybody get "Divinity Original Sin 2" running under dxvk (and on an AMD gpu) already?

Since I have been following attempts to start it under wine (with and without Lutris, whilst it reportedly functioned with some nVidida-cards) on forums since its launch I thus had hoped, it would start (of course with the workaround via Steam/steamapps/common/Divinity Original Sin 2/bin/EoCApp.exe) within the same prefix I successfully set up for running The Witcher 3 with dxvk0.50.

Yet, alas, the system freezes.
Did anybody have more luck?
