Additional Comments
Install Steam in a new 64bit wine Prefix:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/aoe2_de winetricks --no-isolate steam
Install the game there like you would in Windows, after it is installed close Steam.
Remove the installed vcrun2017 with:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/aoe2_de wine uninstaller
Install vcrun2017 again with a current release of winetricks:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/aoe2_de winetricks vcrun2017
Set Windows Version to Windows 10:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/aoe2_de winetricks win10
Get dxvk and install it into your wineprefix with:
cd path/to/dxvk/
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/aoe2_de ./setup_dxvk.sh install
Now you can start the game.
A Message saying that a vcrun assertion failed will appear, click on ignore.
After that your mouse cursor changes and a wine Window will appear telling you that BattleServices.exe won't work, just ignore this window and do nothing with it.
It won't affect the game (except maybe multiplayer but that's untested by me).
The Loading Screens might stutter and freeze, however gameplay is pretty smooth.
