    You're running an old machine with insufficient memory and a 32-bit operating system. The vast majority of people playing EBII are doing so with newer 64-bit operating systems and 4GB+ of memory. One of the most common crashes come from M2TW's native inability to use more than 2GB of RAM, which is why I was recommending LAA or an equivalent, because it makes the game much more stable.

    Furthermore, running in borderless, windowed mode is also much more stable, you shouldn't be switching the focus away for any reason if you want the game to be as stable as possible. Alt+Tab-ing in and out of the game causes crashes.

    Running it on a weird OS just increases the level of complication. Sorry, but I don't know what to suggest, your setup is a long way outside what is usual. I run my game on 64-bit Win 7, using a retail version, not Steam.
    Before I reinstalled everything, it would crash right after loading the campaign screen after a battle against a relief force. If it were due to memory, the crash would occur when the memory's exceeded and it would most likely be during the battle. So, it's not due to memory but a condition triggered when you win against a relief force. Anyway, the issue isn't important because after I reinstalled it didn't occur again (So, the problem is neither with EB nor Wine.).

    When I saw moving the focus away causes crashes, I stopped doing it, it's OK now. What I said was that running it on windowed mode introduces buggy behavior in my case, which's unfortunately hardly bearable. Also, I think that buggy behavior is actually indication of more instability of windowed mode on my installation. I'm happy for you that it normally increases stability but I think it's just the opposite in my case. Also, I don't get random crashes very often (at least not so far), so you don't have to worry about me :) Still, thank you very much.

    When did Debian come to be called a weird distribution? :D Of course, I knew that Wine would have its limitations and said I would understand if you didn't support Wine and I thank you regardless. I also use the retail version and thought that using a machine near as old as the game would actually be advantageous :D Anyway, it's no matter.

    Why do you think they are not relevant? I did ask a few unrelated minor questions but I thought that was common practice on these forums, would you rather I posted them separately? I think these were the minor questions I asked in this thread:
    Should I message the original poster of the thread about running Europa Barbarorum II on Linux if my problems are specific to my installation?
    What are the reform requirements? I don't understand them, the threads on The Org and Total War Center are different while many stickied threads on other topics are usually the same.
    I registered here because your official forum is here, but sometimes Total War Center seem to have more information on a topic. So, which one should I check to get my information?
    Is it possible to get the Pergamon reforms while staying as a Seleucid satrap?
    I'm not asked to pay tribute to them as Pergamon. Is this because Pergamon already has a shakedown event or because of historical considerations?
    I captured Ankyra very early, should I have fought some field battles in Galatia beforehand?
    Does toggling borderless window mode make any difference when you're not using windowed mode?

    By the way, I hope you saw that I've mentioned an unrelated glitch introduced with version 2.2i and hope it's an easy one to solve for you. If not, it's not a very big deal I guess. After I captured Ankyra, I just attacked the spawned half stack outside the settlement and won easily.
    When I'd captured Ankyra (It was my first battle against the Galatians.) I got a message titled "Galatoi Defeated" (sorry if I misspelled). When I attacked this spawned half stack and won, I got the same message again. Is this a glitch or do you get the same message to inform you that your last victory would count towards getting the reforms?
