I am new to Linux and was hoping someone can help me get Shogun 2 up and running in Steam which was downloaded via PlayonLinux. Currently, the game installs and shows a license screen briefly before it shuts down with no error message.
In the System Info tab, Steam does not seem to detect my video card though the nVidia drivers have been installed and my computer recognizes the card (GeForce GT610). Maybe there is another issue though. Any help would be most appreciated! if useful, I have an ASUS M5A97 motherboard and running Ubuntu 12.04,
The system info Steam shows follows:
