I installed it last night through steam as well. It started up but there was no sound and then it crash when I tried to start a campaign. I then edited the launcher cmd line to match what I use for EVE Online and so far everything works fine - sound too - and no crashes. Click Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine Click Audio Check the OSS Driver box and deselect any others Click OK Right click your Empire Total War icon on your desktop. Click Properties Click Launcher Copy the contents on the Command textbox somewhere to backup the original entry - for example mine was: env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 10500 Change that to this: padsp wine explorer /desktop=0,1024x768 "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" Modify the 1024x768 to whatever dimensions you'd like. See if this works for you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Unable-to-start-Empire%3A-Total-War-tp22384282p22424733.html Sent from the Wine - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
