Sorry it's taken me so long to reply... :\ Well, I put it in a new wineprefix, but i got the same error. So I reinstalled wine 1.2.2 and reinstalled m2tw. Same error. I've tried running it from the terminal, but the spaces keep screwing it up; it reads wine /home/sweyn78/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SEGA/Medieval II Total War/medieval2.exe as wine /home/sweyn78/.wine/drive_c/Program No combinations of _ or %20 for replacing spaces and no combinations of /// and \\ for replacing slashes have worked. How would you suggest I attempt to run the program from the terminal?
