I'm newish to Linux and new to WINE. I've downloaded the Rome-Total War demo, and the Medieval-Total War demo (the first one, not Med-II). They both appear to have installed OK, but both crash with an error message if I attempt to start them. Other applications I've tried (Paint Shop Pro 4.12, Microsoft powerpoint viewer 2003, for examples) seem to work OK. Total War error basically says: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Error The program <rome.exe> has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. It then goes on to say this may be caused by the program or a deficiency in Wine and gives the database site and the bugs list URLs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The above appears before anything appears to have really started up, i.e. no splash screens or menus appear. Similar fault for Medieval but the file is <Medieval_TD.exe>. The AppDB seems to imply the demo for Rome should be OK, but that Med may not be. Question: Can anyone tell me if either of these demo's does or should run on WINE? Or is there a particular file/folder/option I need to create or alter in order to get them running? Kernel - 2.6.26.8 Wine - wine-1.1.28 Running KDE 4.3.2 CPU - 800 Ath Ram 768M GPU - GF2/64M I realize the H/W specs maybe a little near the lower end, but I think they meet the min requirements (Ram/GPU) and maybe just under for CPU - would this stop it running? Thanks.
