What works

Mostly everything I've tried works, but isn't playable due to the issues noted below.

What does not

  1. Crashes when pressing esc or enter (fixes itself after first battle)
  2. When in fullscreen mode, minimizes itself until it starts loading (fixed if in windowed mode)
  3. In Battle and Campaign Map, cannot move mouse into the area where the UI is (1920x1080; might be because of dual monitor). Only playable because I can move mouse on the second screen, down to where the UI is and back in.
  4. If alt tabbed, cannot alt-tab back in

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

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

  1. Use the lowest graphic settings, because one of them crashes the game
  2. 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
