Total War: ROME II is a strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. It focuses on historical Roman society at a time of war. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how you can get Total War: ROME II working on your system.<\/p>\n

\"Total<\/p>\n

Total War: ROME II works on Linux, but only through the power of Proton, which is built into the Linux release of Steam. For this reason, we\u2019ll need to go over how to install Steam on Linux before showing you how to get Total War: ROME II working.<\/p>\n

Install Steam\u00a0<\/h3>\n

To start the installation of Steam on Linux, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop. To open up a terminal window, press\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, open up a terminal window by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve gotten the terminal app open, follow along with the command-line installation instructions outlined below to get the Steam application up and running on your computer.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, the Steam application is easily installable with the following\u00a0Apt\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Those using Debian Linux need to manually download the Steam DEB package. To start the download process, open up a terminal window and use the\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>downloader command below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest Steam DEB package to your Debian PC, the installation can begin. To install the package on your computer, use the following\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Steam DEB package is fully installed on your Linux PC, make use of the\u00a0Apt-get\u00a0<\/strong>command below to correct any dependencies that may have appeared during the installation process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Arch Linux, you\u2019ll be able to get the Steam app working with the following Pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Fedora or OpenSUSE Linux, you\u2019ll be able to install Steam through the software sources included in these distributions. However, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on those distributions, so we recommend installing it instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Flatpak in Linux, you will need to set up the Flatpak runtime. To set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, make use of the\u00a0remote-add\u00a0<\/strong>command below to add the Flathub app store to your PC. This app store will make it possible to install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With the Flathub app store set up, it is time to install Steam. Using the\u00a0flatpak install\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install the latest release of Steam on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
