Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working you have to use by now the directplay libraries from microsoft, still (since 2006) no open source libraries for direct play that include libraries to open sockets and close to play games, so install winetricks:
(in ubuntu/debian) sudo apt-get install winetricks
and then exec:
winetricks directplay
It will download the directplay libraries from microsoft and install them, that's all, tcp/ip will work with direct connect.
If you get only a black screen upon starting a game
winetricks ddr=gdi (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43627)winetricks csmt=off (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44796)

However, the game is faster than usual, about 30% faster, and I think this is not intentional.
When I finish a match, the game consistently says it took about 30% than it actually took. I am not sure if this is an issue with wine of the Forgotten Empires expansion, but I would like to restore the speed to its correct value. Any ideas how I could do that?

AoFE works extremely well until directplay is installed with winetricks. Directplay allows AoC to work fine though and to flawlessly connect to multiplayer, but on installation it breaks AoFE so that it never reaches the main menu screen.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Doesnt work, the Multiplayer things only gives me 3 options, "Lobby Browser" "Quick Match" and "Create"
And only the "Lobby browser" runs! The rest gives me the message "you've been dropped out of the game"
Ive tried to run the DirectPlay as it said on the website, no difference!
Any idea how can I run it through LAN?
Thanks!

If I emulate a virtual desktop for it the whole screen will be visible but in full resolution the position of the game is incorrect, the top is off the screen and i can see my Ubuntu desktop at the bottom.
