The forum

Hello there

At start I gotta say that I'm quite a newbie in whole linux and ubuntu business (the latter I have on the laptop I'm operating atm). I installed Playonlinux 4.2.2 version that you have available atm and I managed to install Rome Total War together with expansions. It instaled nicely (together with all directx and so on), but it crashes every time when I try to launch it. It doesn't display any error (it just say "there was an error").

I'd love to get some kind of advice how to move on in this situation.

Cheers

Select the shortcut, click on "Debug" in the side panel to run it in debug mode

it crashed when i did that ^^
