Selected Test Results

What works

Everything is still working fine. I've since swapped to a NVIDIA card, and have ceased experiencing slowness in the campaign map.

Campaign and battles all work flawlessly. My current campaign is 50 turns in and no issues have been experienced.

Also note that the Third Age mod is still working fine, though it does suffer from the occasional missing character texture (E.G. invisible shields, invisible helmets).

What does not

Before the switch to the NVIDIA card, I was experience massive texture flickering within the battles, making the game unplayable. That was with catalyst 13.02, so if using an AMD card, opt for an older driver (say, 12.10).

Workarounds

What was not tested

Additional Comments

The only DLL override needed is dotnet35 (for the game launcher). While installing dotnet35 is a massive pain, that does not factor into the rating. Perhaps there might be a way to run the game without the launcher, therefore removing the dotnet35 requirement?

After testing some configs, my best performance is with this

I was touching around settings on PlayOnLinux configuration for this game and my best right now is
GLSL Support -> Disable
Off screen Rendering Mode->fbo

Nvidia 650 GTX
Its moves softly and game not freezes during big battles anymore, im happy.

launch without Launcher & dotnet35
by Arto Alakulju on Sunday September 15th 2013, 0:46

Bypassing launcher can be done this way:

Going to the installation directory and renaming Launcher.exe to something and then creating a symbolic link to medieval2.exe from Launcher.exe:

cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Medieval II Total War"
ln -s medieval2.exe Launcher.exe

Now Steam will launch medieval2.exe directly.

I tried this but it crashes after the intro movie saying it encountered and unexpected error and will now exit. Has anyone else seen this issue? I can add the console output if needed.

Hey,

I installed Medieval 2 Total War from steam.
I have installed dotnet35 and directx9.
The launcher crashes with the following error:

RE: Launcher crashes with .net exception

Hi, I have a similar issue. Please, try to install DirectX9 form the game folder (/home/%USER%/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Medieval II Total War/dxsetup/) - in my case it helps.
