The program Attila.exe will not start

[twaee]

I got a game "Total War: Attila" and I can't start it. I open it up, the launcher appears, I press play, then it crashes to "The program Attila.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to stop". Sometimes "The program Launcher.exe has encountered ..." also appears. Due to a bug in my game, I can only run it from a shortcut, and I have no idea how to run a shortcut in the terminal. If you could tell me how I can get back to you quickly with more information.

It is available on Linux natively

I have quite limited Internet at the current moment, I would rather not have to install another game.

[DarkShadow44]

Installing the native version would be way easier though.
If you insist on using wine, please provide a complete log, including the crashlog.

Sorry for the late reply, I decided to reinstall the game and now it comes up with a different error. This is probably an easy error to fix so if you could get back to me quickly, please do.

This AppDB test submission might still be of relevance to your issues with Total War: Attila:

Sorry, the solutions there did not work. Atleast I didn't try the xinit thing because I couldn't figure out how and also because Im not trying to run it in full screen.

EDIT: umm, this is strange. So I reinstalled it and it came up with yet another error. I have no idea what the crap is going on, please help.

Ok, I am going to keep Linux, but I will be partially switching to Windows (much as i hate windows) to be able to play games that I can't play on wine.
