Runs on Nobara OOTB
Had isues at first with Microsoft DirectX install script hanging. Proton 7.03 appeared to fix this after verifiying the installed files. Now the game runs perfectly OOTB without launch commands or forced compatibility with proton. Odd, but it does work and run very well.

Sign up using this link to login and play multiplayer. EA servers are replaced by this: https://veniceunleashed.net/project-rome
Add the Project Rome dinput8.dll to your game folder, and set the launch options in the properties tab of the game. Sign in when in-game, and you're good. Check the server browser and click search if you don't see anything in the list.
On first launch, the game was in a low resolution. In-game settings cleaned it up and maximised fullscreen.
Again, use the Project Rome dll and you're back online.
Single-player works without signing up, but the multiplayer needs the Project Rome dll, the account and the custom launch options to work correctly.
Another user mentioned that the game must be installed on your main drive or it won't launch. The game ran perfectly with the proton version listed once I moved it over. It oculd work with other proton versions, I still happened to have this one selected.
This method also worked for two other games that weren't previously loading, and now do without any tweaks or compatibility layers. Some investigation into this is required.
