For me the launcher doesn't work. It starts up but displays nothing but a white box. I would post the log file but it is about 100MB. Instead here are the errors that are repeated at the end of the file:

• Rome Total War 2 Crashes On Loading Screen
• Rome Total War 2 Crashing

Rome Total War 2 Crashes On Loading Screen

The trainer constantly causes the game to crash. When you click on the transfer of a turn in the game, the game crashes.

If I point the run script at the Rome2.exe instead of the launcher the game starts and runs fine on ultra settings until I start switching between the campaign and battle maps at which point it crashes with the following error:

• Aug 11, 2018  Total.War.Rome.II.Rise.of.the.Republic-CODEX.SteamWorks.Fix.v2 (thanks to Anomaly!) is available in NoDVD folder after installation, allowing multiplayer via Steam 100% Lossless & MD5 Perfect: all files are identical to originals after installation NOTHING ripped, NOTHING re-encoded.
• Rome 2 Emperor Edition Crash while taking turns So I'm just making my way through the Imperial Campaign, as Sparta, ending my turn, expecting it to go as smoothly as it generally is, until the game makes Daorci take it's turn.

Reducing the settings to high resolves the problem. It appears to be related to DXVK's issues with memory management in 32 bit applications. Using WineD3D the game does not crash but performs considerably worse while also exhibiting many rendering errors.
