This is just another episode, but just for start, you can turn the sound off in AoE :-) Playing with music & sound can cause WINE to crash. These may include:Ĥ) Beware of the sound! WINE still has problems playing the sound from AoE. I din't test other types of connection but, if you want, you can go through the registry entries mentioned above and figure out which other libraries do you need to connect other ways (let's say, serial line or modem). These entries are absolutely necessary for the network play.ģ) In order to play via TCP/IP protocol, you should configure WINE to prefer native form of these DLL's: Why? Because of the native DLL's of DirectPlay network playing system.Ģ) Make sure your WINE registry file (~/.wine/system.reg) includes the registry information that can be found in the link mentioned above. It doesn't need to be the current version. If I'm correct, you should follow these steps:ġ) You should have DirectX installed. Generally, take a look at this discussion post: I had problems with the multiplayer mode in AoE on WINE and I finally solved them and want to report my success for those who are intersted. I renamed g: and g:: to d: and d:: so CDEmu was the first optical drive, not the third.) Age of Empires will only play CD audio from the first CD drive, it stores the drive letter it expects in the registry, and deleting drives in winecfg doesn't delete the :: symlinks used for CD audio access, so you'll want to go into the dosdevices folder in your wineprefix and make sure that the symlinks refer to the right drive. X11 window managers are prone to treating all resolution changes as permanent and moving your windows to fit them into the resulting 640x480 space, so you may want to set Wine to present a virtual desktop so the game can't change your actual resolution.Ģ. There are two things that aren't Wine's fault that you may want to work around:ġ. (In other words, Wine's analogue to needing to set the compatibility mode on actual Windows.) Using winecfg to set the version to Windows XP results in an otherwise platinum experience. Installer will refuse to compiete when Wine is on its default setting Starting a single-player skirmish and playing for a few minutesĬhanging the game resolution to its maximum of 1024x768Īge of Empires is not compatible with modern Windows versions and the "Full Install" from a freshly made cdrdao BIN/TOC dump of my childhood v1.0 Age of Empires CD, mounted via CDEmu.
