Selected Test Results

What works

-Tutorial

-Playing on the real-time map

What does not

-the world map is very slow, about 3 fps, which makes it unplayable ((In windows this game runs flawlessly, over 40fps))

-some textures are not being displayed

-it is impossible to rotate the camera the normal way

-after about 20 seconds in the menu the game locks (wine error). If you have already started a game then it will just continue to work. Otherwise you will have to kill rometw.exe

-starting the campaign will return you to the main menu

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

If you have any problems with playing Rome, you should try this:

Use the lowest graphic settings, because one of them crashes the game
Type wine regedit in a terminal. Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Wine / Direct3D or create it if it doesn't exist. Now you have to add two new keys.DirectDrawRenderer with the string value opengl and VideoMemorySize with the string value of you graphic memory size, for example 512 or 256.

If you want to post a test please write in it, if you have an ATI/AMD,Nvidia,or any other graphic card, because they can cause different problems
