This document is intended to help you answer any questions that you may have about Total War: WARHAMMER
Total War: WARHAMMER has been fully tested on Ubuntu 16.10 and SteamOS 2.0. For the best gameplay experience, we recommend you use one of these distros.
The game should also work on other recent versions of Ubuntu, and may also work on other Linux distros; however, as the game has not been tested on these, it is possible that you will encounter performance and gameplay issues, and we do not currently offer support for other versions or distros.
The graphics card series and driver versions below have been tested, and these and higher series or versions will run the game without issues:
AMD
Series: R9 270 (2GB)
Driver version: Mesa 13.0.1
NOTE: AMD graphics cards require the Mesa 13.0.1 driver compiled using LLVM 3.9 or newer. This driver is not currently the default for Ubuntu 16.10. AMD graphics cards are not supported when running SteamOS. The AMD GPU-Pro driver is not currently supported by the game.
Nvidia
Series: 650ti (1GB)
Driver version: 367.28
NOTE: Open-source Nvidia graphics drivers are not currently supported by Total War: WARHAMMER. Unfortunately, the current open-source Nvidia drivers do not support a number of the graphical features used in the game.

Switching between a virtual terminal (by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6) and the X server (by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F7) while the game is running may cause the game to crash or the graphics to render incorrectly.
The problem will be fixed the next time you launch the game.
We do not recommend switching to a virtual terminal while running the game, as the problem is likely to occur each time you do so.
