Ok i'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and when i attempt to launch ck2 through steam.
I get a black windowed screen for about 2 secs before it crashes.
Here is a dump of the error log.

Looks to me like your video card or driver are not up to running the game. You need a card with 1gb or more of video memory, and to use the card's proprietary driver, not the generic or OSS one.

If you are not sure what you have, go to Steam-Help-System Info, and paste in here the bit under Video Card, thanks.
