MBD - Asus Z87PRO CPU - Intel i7 4770k RAM - 32 GB RAM SSD - Samsung 840 PRO VID - Nvidia 440 GT (310.xx) OS Mode - Windows 7 Prefix works better on 32-Bit, so for 64-Bit users please do the following: rm -fr ~/.wine export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX="/home/USER/.wine" winecfg If it helps, this is my complete winetrick component list that applies for most applications.

Elements such as taskbars designed to cover other applications are not hidden when Age of Empires II is run in full-screen. This can be fixed by not allowing the window manager to control Wine applications (can be changed in winecfg), or by changing the taskbar's options so that windows are allowed to cover it.
Crack
If the game does not recognice your CD, you may need to use a crack. This may or may not be legal, depending on where you live.
Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working, place the following DLLs in Wine's windows/system32 directory, then start winecfg and add dll
overrides (native, builtin) for them: dplayx, dpnet,
dpnhpast and dpwsockx.
NOTE: the game freezes when exiting a multiplayer game.

I tried every suggested patch and DLL override and did not work (graphics flickering and strange colors); now it's working perfectly with wine version 1.3.37.

"err:d3d_surface:d3dfmt_p8_init_palette This code should never get entered for DirectDraw!, expect problems
fixme:d3d_surface:IWineD3DSurfaceImpl_BltOverride Unsupported blit operation falling back to software"
Changing DirectDrawRenderer from opengl to gdi takes these messages away, but the game performance keeps the same.
(I'm using ArchLinux 64bit, nvidia 9800GT)

Then set registry these registry entries:
DirectDrawRenderer=opengl
RenderTargetLockMode=readtex
OffscreenRenderingMode=backbuffer
I tried other values, but if OffscreenRenderingMode is set to fbo or pbuffer the colors become crazy.
Then start the game with DIB Engine enabled, e.g. "WINEDIB=ON wine Empiresx.exe" . Now the game works fine.

- some text that should be white show up as black, this is sometimes a problem when on a black background, but not often.
- the game runs slowly, there seem to be slight pauses every second or so.
- I haven't tested network play or anything.

I have the Gold Edition of AoE and installation went well. I updated the game using the patch on Microsoft's website to 1.0a, but was unable to run the expansion and I got the following error message:
"Age of Empires Expansion requires Age of Empires 1.0, 1.0A, or 1.0B to be installed"
I tried using a crack but the result was the same.
Any ideas?
