en: Run "winetricks" at the command line and select "d3dx9" from the dialog. tr: Komut satırından "winetricks"i çalıştırın. Çıkan diyalogdan "d3dx9"u seçin ve yüklenmesini bekleyin.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

This is a quick step-by-step on how to configure Wine to get Medieval II: Total War running (currently as best possbile). This how-to will be updated to as we make progress in getting the game to work.

  1. Download and install a no-CD patch. Currently only the one for game version 1.0 works (the popular no-CD patch for game version 1.1 doesn't work under wine at this time). Usually the installation merely requires extracting an archive and replacing the game EXE file. Before you replace it, be sure to rename the existing 'medieval2.exe' to something like 'medieval2_orig.exe' just in case you need to undo the no-CD patch at a later time.
  2. Run "winetricks" at the command line (make sure you have the latest version installed) and select "d3dx9" from the menu.
HOWTO

This is a general Ubuntu 6.10 How-To, which helped me get this game working (will also help with various other software). I didn't know where to put a general how-to, so I'll put it here for now.

Follow the instructions at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297280&highlight=open+%2Fdev%2Fsnd%2Fseq+failed to get all the dependencies that you need under Ubuntu. Especially the following helped me get up and running. In particular this fixed audio, and keyboard and mouse input when there is no cursor present:
