Until yesterday the game worked fine (well, whenever I'd zoom in the ocean would disappear but that's a different issue.) After updating today, I would click Play in the launcher and nothing happens.
I have uninstalled and re-installed, checked files integrity, and delete Imperator folders manually twice already to no avail.
I rolled back to 1.2 and the game started, but that doesn't mean the problem's fixed.
I'm playing through Steam.
 
Which version? You need Linux Mint 19 starting from version 1.3. The game needs glibc 2.27+.


Or if you want to keep older system, there is workaround to download separate glibm.so.6 and run the game with that library. I use launch options "LD_PRELOAD=/home/games/lib64/libm.so.6 %command%"

Where do you place glibm.so.6, (Does it even matter as long as I point the LD_PRELOAD command at it?) OpenSuse Leap has glibc 2.26...I’d like to remain on it, but I will reinstall if I can’t figure out a solution...also I assume you mean the glibm....not from your distros repos....where should one pick up this file?

  1. Download glibc package from Tumbleweed from here: https://software.opensuse.org/package/glibc - just download the x86_64 version, DO NOT INSTALL IT
  2. Extract the the downloaded .rpm file with Ark to some directory. I extracted it to /home/games
  3. Steam -> Library -> Imperator: Rome -> right click -> Properties -> General -> Set launch options -> write something like LD_PRELOAD=/home/games/lib64/libm.so.6 %command% , where you put path where your extracted newer libm library from glibc package is

I didn't played the game yet, but with this it can start again.

I will be so happy if this works...

EDIT: This worked PERFECTLY! I am back playing Rome: Imperator on OpenSuse Leap 15.1

i'm using Debian 10 and was getting an "error while loading shared libraries: libc++.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error. I solved it by installing the "libc++1" dependancy from the repo's.

Bro, can you access the game files? I have linux mint and I cannot access them. It is as if they did not exist.

Linux Mint 18.3, haven't upgraded yet to 19. In the Home folder, I follow this path to check installation folder:

.steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome/

Take note that /.steam/ folder is hidden

They are but they are not. That is the installation folder, I have other games but I can't find any. I already tried in nautilus, in console with sudo his .. nothing.

Exactly the same. Using Mint 19.1

Edit: Checked glibc version. It is 2.27

Edit²: This worked for me: # sudo apt install libc++1

Neither of these solutions have worked for me.
Running Linux Mint 18.3

Anything else I might try?

Do you have Steam linux version and not the Windows version running inside wine?

One possibility to see, where your games are, is Steam -> Library -> your game -> right click -> Properties -> Local files -> Browse local files... button

It doesn't open the folder. When I click on open game files (either IR or another one that works), nothing happens. It's as if it never existed.
