Perfect

No problems.

No noticeable faults

Very minor graphical glitches text characters not in dialog boxes arent transparent, and the display flickers when scrolling through news posts. Its annoying, but still readable. The options to go to the forums or the site appear graphically glitched / not fully readable. Massive frame drops if Steam BPM is on; without it, though, a constant 60 FPS. Very much so playable ran through a couple of hours of it so far just fine.

Needed to install xaudio2_0 through xaudio2_9 for sound to work.

Subtitles have uneven black background. Minor fps drops.

the game launches and functions fine (no missing textures, audio/controller/overlay all work, as does alt-tabbing) however the performance is lacking. steady 60FPS can be maintained in some areas but in places like the main city it can drop to as low as 23FPS, which is a big deal since as an early report stated the game logic is tied to framerate. you can mitigate this a bit by pointing the camera down to the ground, but ultimately the game needs some work before it can be considered gold/platinum.

Runs out of the box. Only issue spotted until now is display glitches on the "news" screen : text sometimes dissapear, making it scroll up or down make it show up again.

No hack, no particular bugs, nothing to report. Can't judge perf compared to windows, but seem fixed at 60fps without a problem.

Only issue I have run into is if I crank the graphics up all the way, the game is too laggy to play but the defaults work fine. Secondly, only issue other than that, is when you are on the "The World" login screen the menu is messed up but anyone who has played the game before knows the menu so it isn't hard to work around this 1 little issue where everything else works perfectly.

Only one minor issue : news display sometimes get wrong... scrolling up and down restore it. More than 22h on the game and still no other problem.

Haven't seen any issues so far, performance is great seeing as I'm running on a pretty low end card

Nothing happens, had to kill the process

Sound is slightly glitchy, but does not affect play.

Some sound glitches and poor performance

A crash window appears and generates a report in the game folder.

First level is great. Second level only shows strange ornaments.

Didn't notice any problems. (Did not test controller)

works fine

Requires xact for sound

works fine

Runs as it should. Tested with a Steam Controller.

Everything works fine including gamepad support, you don't have to do anything other than press play.

Nothing wrong. The game runs flawlessly without any issues. Cloud save also works too, so you won't lose any of your progress.

Flawless.

Game runs, but cursor is invisible. Unable to run certain music due to the game not seeing a specific .dll file.

DXErrors on start. No sound. Game stops responding when loading into single player.

Make sure to try raising your file descriptor limit if you run into problems.

Game starts normally, however the following error appears: "Ayame.dll not found. Music playback will not work.", resulting in no music. Also, the cursor and some sprites are not visible.

Seemed to work just fine, couldn't really notice performance issues

works flawless

Game runs fine, but acts like it's not connected to steam, and special events like the summer event don't show up

Crackling sound over HDMI can be fixed by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa. Add tsched=0 to load-module module-udev-detect (load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0)

Game starts normally but an error appears: "Ayame.dll not found. Music playback will not work", cursor and some sprites are not visible.

Works fine after increasing file descriptor limit

Game starts, but an error pops up that says 'Ayame.dll not found. Music playback will not work'. After closing the popup, the game takes me to the loading screen, but there's no cursor. However, I can still click on things. I just can't see what I'm clicking on.

Game starts normally, but with the following error: "Ayame.dll not found. No music playback, but sounds work. Invisible cursor.

No problems. Though you need to increase the file descriptor limit

No audio, loads into the menu and allows you to edit profiles but crashes as soon as you try and make a single-player game or join an online game. Could be due to drivers or distro, considering it works fine on Ubuntu 17.10 without issues.

No noticeable issues

Increase file descriptor limit https://github.com/zfigura/wine/blob/esync/README.esync

Works flawless with proton 3.7-6. No more level 0 bug.

work fine

so far everything has been working

No issues found

No issues whatsoever, tried almost every aspect. Works flawlessly out of the box.

Increasing file descriptor limit.

Played one offline game, no issues whatsoever.

No issues.

Everything worked perfectly. Game ran well, audio was fine.

Proton 3.7-6 fixed the Level 0 bug, so the game plays exactly like native.

Game runs flawlessly

Works perfectly. No issues.

Works flawlessly.

GFX are very garbled, doesn't play well with alt-tab.

Works fine, but changing to full screen causes severe graphical glitches that remain until game is restarted.

Plays perfect in windowed mode. Full-screen causes major graphical glitches

On switching to fullscreen, soft locked. However, starting it up again solved this, with it playing fine in fullscreen. No hint of the glitches I saw in previous versions.

Runs fine, except for the robots being invisible. The golf clubs are still visible. Is 100ft Robot Golf as cool when played with 100ft invisible robots? M'aiq finds this troubling.

The Mian Menu works, but after start a new game, the game freezes. I try different drivers and tweaks, all the same.

Played through entire game. Runs just as well as the previous native ones.

Even runs fullscreen correctly!

no problems

Plays OK.

Just displays a white screen, had to xkill.

No problems

Game works fine with Keyboard controls, but with Switch Pro inputs had to be manually remapped, rating it Platinum because that appears to be problem for Windows users too.

seems to open a window but then closed imediatly

nope does not start ...tried also PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% ...no difference...ok a little it seems to appear "more starting"

Error: can't open file 'Z:\home\desktop\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\1953 - KGB Unleashed\Data\effect\full.fx' (error 3: path not found.)

Started new game, seems to run just fine.

Sometimes a glitch preventing the inventory from loading will happen, which requires a reload, but other than that it works perfectly.

Completely played through. Didn't notice any problems. The game needs corefonts, so make sure to use Proton >= 3.16-4.

Game crashes on start

When trying to start it Wine tells me "The game crashed" and references a log file which says "Alcatraz.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module Alcatraz.exe at 0023:00479229". I was able to run the GOG version, but it doesn't show texts on some buttons / options, and crashes when I exit it (have to enter Ctrl+Alt+F2 and kill Alcatraz.exe from htop to be able to get back to my desktop)

No Sound

Gamepad support broken, but this may be true on Windows as well. Otherwise perfect.

Works perfectly.

Runs perfectly out of the box; Controller input not tested (but also not advertised on store page)

No noticeable issues

Controller is not detected, otherwise perfect

xbox360 controller not found. Everything else works fine.

works fine

No issues

No problems

No noticeable issues

sometimes have to kill -9 -1 to make it work fine

tested earlier with steam through wine and it worked then also

played multiple runs. Stable

Works great, no issues found.

Works Perfect

The game runs smoothly with perfect graphics and frame rate.

Works great with Steam Controller

60FPS sustained, no issues

No issues. No tweaks needed. Runs like the Windows counterpart.

I wasn't paying attention and actually thought this game was native when I installed it and didn't realize until several days later that it's not. Flawless.

Perfect white-list candidate

I don't think the game is registering keyboard inputs correctly, tough it's hard to tell because it also doesn't render any text. Unplayable.

Perhaps some render order issues, otherwise perfect

no tweaks, it just works.

Seems to run perfectly.

Playable right out of the box. Sometimes there are minimum sound glitches and the english subtitles are missing. Fully playable if you understand russian.

Error message on launch "oops! The game crashed..:"

Requires launch option "PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%" to run, playable but is missing subtitles/onscreen text.

Runs perfectly out of the box, fully playable without problems. To solve the problem of missing english subtitles you run it with Proton 3.16-4.

Runs perfectly; no issues

Runs perfectly; no issues with Proton 3.16-6

Subtitles are not shown, but I don't know if this is an issue also on Windows version

After initial logo, terminal window opens for a brief time and then closes the game on steam, but leaves logo shown permanently.

starting normally: nothing opens at all (javaw.exe process keeps running in background); force 64 bit: white empty window opens and immediately closes again; force 32 bit: white empty window opens and just stays like this

No test Controller

The launch can run. But, It like not fine my computer info. It can not run test PC's performance.

Did not encounter anything that did not work as expected.

On first start: "getthreadcontext failed" (a common error message you may get with Unity Engine games and Nvidia drivers). Use PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in Steam Launch Option and the game's message box shows up, letting you choose the usual Unity games options (resolutions/graphic quality). Game runs super bad and slow on my PC which can run Witcher 3 or Tomb Raider on max 60FPS and AC Odyssee at 30FPS clocked (1080p). This little game does not want to run at 30FPS with Wine/Proton on lowest settings.

Works almost totally perfect. Only issue is if you switch to windowed during the game, the viewport inside the window will be shifted. You will need to close the game and start it again. It will then run in a window and run without issues.

Mouse doesn't exit screen (on dual monitor). This may be the case on Windows, as well. Didn't notice any performance issues.

I also noticed the issues mentioned here previously with the mouse cursor not leaving the borders of the game screen, and windowed mode being visually offset if you switch to it until you restart. For me the mouse cursor limitation was not a concern, and the game seemed to work fine in fullscreen mode without any need for modifications.

Graphical glitches abound especially at settings beyond medium. Lags horribly even at lowest settings; at the worst settings, it gets better but the graphics are too pixelated by this point to play.

Only played about half an hour. So far it runs perfectly fine with no need for any tweaks.

Able to hear static while playing sometimes. Disabling Esync doesn't fix the sound issue.

Launched game, played the tutorial and had no issues

works

Runs perfectly in any sized window.

The game runs native, no steam play needed

Crashes with a debug log

Unplayable. The tutorial level has serious graphical glitches and most weird, enemies do not spawn.

No errors

After clicking "Play" the game just crashed to the desktop, without any errors, pop-up or other message leading to an explanation.

Everything worked out of the box.

Max settings 4K - Performance arguably better than windows

For Alpha 17 - In game runs fine, Navezgane loads normally. Can only run in 32-Bit, 64-Bit crashes right at loading screen. Cannot randomly generate maps at all, gets about 75% through then stops with OutOfMemory exception.

Started and runs just fine.

Fullscreen is broken

Is not interactive in fullscreen.

Everything seems to be fine.

Great

works fine

"Unrecognized error"

Crashes directly with error message "Unrecognized error".

no problems at all

Plays great

Very good

Great

Everything looks OK

Runs, but numerical values such as number of units or $ values appear as ##0; unable to get multiplayer to function or connect; online replays functioned; adding an anti-aliasing value in the video settings causes the screen to displace in a horizontal bar pattern. (Unknown values and no multiplayer prevent a Silver rating).

No issues. Can't Alt+Tab but attempting to do so does not crash game (just doesn't leave the game)

The game work fine except for some numerical character that appear like "##0" making imposible know the the amount of combat units. Multiplayer no tested

no

Numbers in build menus etc. are not shown but replaced by "##0", which is very annoying. Multiplayer not tested.

Numbers such as money etc. aren't properly displayed, instead showing ##0 or else, making the game nearly unplayable. The game itself runs quite well. Experienced a permanent freeze on changing antialiasing settings.

doesn't work, crashes as soon as you start

Runs but numerical values such as number of units or $ values appear as ##0; unable to get multiplayer to function or connect; online replays functioned; adding an anti-aliasing value in the video settings causes the screen to displace in a horizontal bar pattern. Occasional temporary screen freezes occur when Alt-Tabbing. (Unknown values and no multiplayer prevent a Silver rating).

runs perfectly

Runs but numerical values such as number of units or $ values appear as ##0; unable to get multiplayer to function or connect; adding an anti-aliasing value in the video settings causes the screen to displace in a horizontal bar pattern. Almost a silver rating.

It works like a charm out of the box.

Works fine with Wine

No sound, might have been a problem with my bluetooth headphones

Runs flawlessly, requires nvidia driver version 396 to work, failed to start with 390

Didn't start first time. Started second time with no changes.

Works fine :)

Works to perfection!

Works well with DXVK. Only if I switch to other applications there is then only a black screen, but it works if you do not leave the game.

Works like a charm

Crashes immediately, giving a message saying there's logs located at executable directory

Crashes immediately. Same behavior as with "Stick Fight: The Game". I suspect this is common for all Unity games.

The game starts fine, but the main interface for the whole game is meant to be a 3D globe of the earth which you can pan around to travel between cities. On my laptop it is rendered incorrectly as a bright yellow transparent sphere (like a gaseous sun) with no surface features and with the text of the cities barely legible in white. While it's technically possible to play, this makes it annoyingly difficult to navigate and I don't find it comfortable enough to play through. The various text dialogs also have some minor graphical glitches. Disabling D3D11 or using Wine D3D11 had no effect. Disabling esync caused it get stuck on a black loading screen.

Sound is quite crackly, but it runs well otherwise

D3D11 disabled, doesn't run fullscreen. Windowed mode shows some minor glitches (black circles next to the icons on mouse over (incorrect tooltips?), font scaling does not seem right) but generally works fine.

Sound crackles or staticy. Otherwise, the game works fine. Wonder if FAudio will fix or if there's another setting I need to do.

The game work fine (tested with a ps3 controller)

No issues at all.

Silently closes after trying to launch.

Silently runs then crashes

Loads a window then crashes

The fps could be a little higher, but the games runs smoothly without any big fps drop.

Runs great without any tweak for me (30 fps on average but it's playable)

Nothing happens

Does not launch at all. No error codes. No windows that open.

black screen on start and just the sound aprear

Only shows a black screen. Sound seems to work.

DirectX included in the game directory doesn't install, use winetricks to install newer version & game runs perfectly.

Keeps running first time install each open, don't know.

performs microsoft .net install at every launch, then crashes

runs natively on linux since inception contrary to steam shop info

Didn't need to do anything, just installed and ran.

Game seems playable but a few text and visual glitches.

Loads of missing textures and animations.

Minor window issues, probably also present in windows

Backgrounds are black ; sprites do not show. Unplayable.

All seems to work without any issues, no tweaks needed. Multiplayer not tested.

Black screen, with sound effects while pressing buttons

Works perfectly with keyboard. If using the steam controller, the controller must be switched to a keyboard-only profile and must be turned on only after the game starts playing sounds at launch.

Works perfectly with keyboard. If using the steam controller, the controller must be switched to a keyboard-only profile and must be turned on only after the game starts playing sounds at launch.

HTC Vive. Missing textures/models

Worked great! Played to the first boss. Had around 300 fps according to steam. Xbox controller worked fine. Sound was great. I haven't played on windows so if something was missing I wouldn't know but it looked like the demos on youtube.

No problems.

Fullscreen doesn't work.

Full screen doesn't work, but otherwise perfect.

Completely stable.

Game seems to run well, with only some small stuttering that was only a minor distraction. I only tested the tutorial but it took about 2.5 hours.

Mash ESC until it loads. Glitched black ground on map, unplayable

You need to push ESC a few times for game to start loading. Graphics (and sometimes sound) glitches make it unplayable but otherwise it works well

"protontricks 253230 xact" was used to fix the sound. Game runs pretty decent, occasional graphics glitches (screen turning white at certain angles in certain situations) but very playable overall. PS4 controller worked but using the controller autodetect function locked up the game.

Almost a full playthrough, I'm only missing a few time rifts but I played all acts. You have to install xact to avoid audio issues (easiest way is through protontricks : install https://github.com/Sirmentio/protontricks and then run `protontricks 253230 xact`). There is a very minor glitch (white flashes) in one of the early levels, but it doesn't really affect gameplay and that level is only 5 minutes long anyways. The rest of the game renders with no issues. No problems either with controller support. My Logitech F310 is recognized as a 360 gamepad but whatever, it works. That game is aaalmooost Gold...but I have to rate it Silver because performance is not as good as it should be, especially in high-polycount areas like Mafia Town. Thankfully there are plenty of graphical options to tweak, and I could to maintain a mostly stable 60 FPS with the game still looking good. But that may not be achievable on older hardware. Boop !

Game works, sound is broken unless you use xact audio with protontricks as others have suggested. There are some annoying graphical glitches, especially in the first couple levels, but the entire game is playable. There is a noticeable preformance hit from windows, I had to go down to high from ultra high graphics when running through proton.

Has a shader rendering incorrectly in Chapter 1, Act 3. Occasionally has some stutters. Had one random crash when I slipped in an oil/paint spill, though I've been unable to reproduce the same crash again.

The game has a problem with the audio! To fix this problem you have to use protontricks to install "xcat" and then in winecfg we have to add xaudio2_7 to complete. In act 3 of chapter 1 sometimes a white screen appears but nothing that hinders much (if it moves a little more it corrects)!

Solved Audio (dialogue volume) issue with xact (protontricks 253230 xact) Solved disturbing glitchy white textures (rain in Chapter 1 Act 3 mainly) by switching to the BETA 1.0 version via steam (this is the steam release version of the game, bugs were patched out but no content added afterwards) (right click game -> beta -> v1.0) Controller (PS3) works out of the box Performance is satisfactory (Ultra high, 120 FPS)

The game still runs noticeably worse than on Windows, and there are some rendering issues, probably due to the game running on DirectX 9. Initially, I had disabled the FPS cap in the game's video settings. This cause the game to run very poorly, frequently stuttering. DON'T CHANGE THE FPS CAP SETTING, unless you have a very good CPU, and even then don't set it to unlimited.

Small stuttering, sound crackling.

DO NOT install Xact, ONLY Using winecfg to set xaudio2_7 to Native,Builtin fixes sound issues, everything else works no problems.

Worked straight out of the box. Only issue is the white texture for a few seconds; otherwise it's perfectly fine. (Playing a lot, finished chapter 1-4)

Game launches fine from a default install, but as others note you must install xact with winetricks to get audio muxing working. Installing xact broke controller support for me, however, and I needed to install the setup_dumxinputemu.verb (available from its repository on github) to get controller support back. After those two things, game runs very acceptably on my older machine. Local co-op even works!

Game itself runs without any errors, but I think the game uses DirectX 9 for some reason, so performance is very bad. Usually one core will be maxed out and the rest unused. Make sure you have a good CPU to play this game.

Loading is Slow as molasses. Grab a cup of Tea. Menu's run at 10fps. World has minor glitches in the level.

Occasional stuttering

Gameplay works perfectly, but the framerate is very low. Also the sound controls don't work.

Performance is bad unless you tweak settings a bit like disable antialiasing or set it to "FXAA0", limiting draw distance, disabling blur also helps. Audio sliders in settings do not work, and audio sometimes feel weird - when loading level music starts once, plays for a second then starts again. Some abient sounds feel like they're playing at full volume always. Some minor visual glitches in mafia town when it's raining.

Audio issues solved by installing xact with winetricks. Heavy stuttering at the start but it went away with time. Minor visual problems.

Game has a noticeable low framerate (could just be the GPU itself though) without meddling with default graphics. Game ambience too loud while dialog volume too low, volume unchangeable in the options.

Framerate is fine on low settings, however sound effects from objects in the environment all sound as if they are in close proximity to the player (e.g. you will hear the doggo version of the spaceship theme when you begin the game, as if you were close to the TV)

Framerate is MUCH worse than on Windows - on Windows, I get stable framerate on Ultra, while on Linux I need to use minimum settings. Occasional stuttering. Some minor audio and visual bugs. Overall, it's playable, but I wouldn't recommend it for the time being.

Just worked for me I didn't have to change anything.

Audio is broken. Music full volume, sound effects very quiet. Audio sliders do not work. Main menu runs at a low frame rate. In game I was getting 80-140fps.

Runs great in 4k on Plasma-Wayland

Framerate is worse than it is on windows. I cant freely use the camera with my mouse properly unless mouse warping has been forced on. The graphics slightly break sometimes when playing. The game has audio issues but it can be fixed if you install xact in the game's wine prefix.

Game audio balance seems to be broken. You hear all the level sounds at once and cant adjust the audio sliders to change the levels of audio.

All sounds are full volume, and the volume sliders have no affect.

Requires winetricks/protontricks to install xact to fix sound issues. xaudio2_7 override alone did not help on my system. Massive texture issues during rain in the first world (one short level) and minor texture issues in levels in the second world. If the game refuses to start with error R6025, delete steamapps/common/HatinTime/HatinTimeGame/Config/HatinTimeEngine.ini. Deletion can be done via launch options if desired. I played the entire game start to finish, no issues are gamebreaking.

Now with the new proton, we no longer have to do tweaks! But he continues to have a white prick, act 3 of chapter 1 (https://i.imgur.com/Jr0oef5.png) Apart from this, no problem pointing

HP Elitebook 9470m Fedora 28

I had to install xact with protontricks. Otherwise, voices were too soft and background music was too loud. The sound controls in the same would not work properly without xact being installed either. There are issues where the screen goes white (or a large part of it) during the first level on act 3 with the rain.

All sounds are full volume, and the volume sliders don't work.

Game has some minor graphical issues that do not hinder the playability of the game. Audio has issues, but can mostly be fixed with xact, which you can install by using `protontricks 253230 xact` after protontricks (https://github.com/Sirmentio/protontricks) is installed. Performance is as expected.

Some minor graphical issues. Controllers not working.

Played through the entire game in Proton. You need to install xact to get the audio working properly, although it will still have issues with crackling sometimes. There are some graphical errors with the rain in some of the Mafia Town levels which can possibly obscure your vision and force you to restart the level. There are also some minor graphical errors with the UI that generally only appear for one frame, and in the Alpine Skyline area the tree swaying animations are broken but don't impact gameplay.

Post-processing effects seem glitchy, leaving all-white chunks of the screen occasional)ly. The sound is a bit start-stop Overall, the game is very playable even on my intelHD just need to tweak the graphics to minimum (that's just my hardware tho)

Played from start to finish with the Steam controller, no tweaks used. Game runs fine, but some levels have rendering problems, and there is stuttering throughout the game.

Tested at max settings, lowering could help. Performance varies from 50fps on the title screen, 70fps on the ship and 30fps in Mafia Town. Didn't try any other stages. There are some minor texture glitches that occur for a few seconds. It's definitely playable, just not as nice of an experience as on Windows.

hard to say on this one. Install xact and it seems to work fine but there seems to be something off as well. Works ok overall I guess

Sporadically get glitchy character models and white outs. But otherwise it's playable.

Performance is really bad - on the lowest settings it's about 24 fps, and stuttering and freezing remains. With xact installed trough winetricks, audio mixing works fine, but sound can be really choppy sometimes. There are huge problems with lighting - half of the map can be just white (depending on camera) in the last 2 acts of 1st chapter. It's playable, but really uncomfortable

Audio is the only issue. Can be fixed by installing xact.

Requires winetricks/protontricks to install xact to fix sound issues. If the game refuses to start with error R6025 after installing xact, delete steamapps/common/HatinTime/HatinTimeGame/Config/HatinTimeEngine.ini.

After installing xact via Winetricks and setting xaudio2_7 to "native then builtin", the audio and volume sliders work as intended. Still some graphical problems (some wall-textures in World 2 Act 1 appear white), and it has crashed in World 2 once (got past that instance at a second attempt though, so it appears somewhat random).

Audio is broken, but is easily fixed by installing xact with protontricks/winetricks. Unlike with regular wine, on steam play, controllers work perfectly. Framerate is really bad, this could be fixed by enabling gallium-nine, but gallium-nine isn't in steam play unfortunately. The best advice I can give for the low fps is to limit the framerate to 30fps for a more stable experience. I beat the entire game from start to finish using steamplay and encountered no game-breaking bugs.

Runs, but has really low FPS even at lowest settings. Had no audio issues.

It surprisingly works very good. Sound seems sketchy (overblown volume, and sound loops not working correctly) which leads to some occasional stuttering, but it looks very promising. It feels like a Platinum title, in need of a wine tweak

the screen would flash a bright white that would sometimes persist for a very long time, turning environmental lighting/effects to performance fixed this

HTC Vive. Missing textures/models

Run Perfectly 60fps / NO ERROR (Tested in English & Chinese Version)

Game works, except that if switching to fullscreen you can't go back to windowed mode or the video freezes.

Performs well when WineD3D11 is enabled. Crashes on closing the game.

majo.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module majo.exe at 0023:00c1b149. Crash Dump: https://a.pomf.cat/xwbxju.zip

Ran as expected including functional controller support. Does seem to fail to close on a force quit.

No audio in cutscenes, otherwise stable and playable.

messages.log threw some "21:20:44: Error: No more channel combinations to try, audio open failed" tried to fiddle around with sources and channels in OpenAL, without luck.

works great

No Audio in cutscenes (as with other games from Daedalic using Visionaire)

No audio for cutscenes for me also.

No issues.

It's rather small art-piece then a game, but works well :)

finished the game

Crashes immediately after launching

Works perfectly but the opening / ending movies do not play at all

Game seems to work just fine. Didn't try further than a couple of minutes in.

Saving (normal, quick & auto) fails. Everything else runs fine

CSMT needs to be disabled, otherwise it runs extremely slow. Set the launch option "PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%", launch and exit the game and run in a terminal: "/tmp/proton_$USER/run regedit". Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/", right click, select New->Key and name it "Direct3D". Then create a DWord value inside "Direct3D" and name it "csmt". Exit regedit & play.

The game process starts (as indicated by Steam: - Running), but appears to get stuck with no window appearing. The process accepts SIGTERM and dies gracefully.

Steam displays "- Running" next to name for a second and then stops. No window appears.

Game is playable, however something seems to interfere with mouse input (mouse would drift with no inpot or not respond properly to given inputs). Also, objects in-game appeared to move faster than they should (e.g. trees swaying in the wind were accelerated).

HTC Vive. Black screen

Font is a little messed up, but perfectly playable.

Tried the demo. No sound; graphics running at ~1FPS. Utterly unplayable. Didn't bother trying to troubleshoot.

I am asked if I want to play or if I want to start the configuration tool. After selecting one of them and clicking play, nothing happens.

In the config tool, set Textures to "Low" for game to work ("High" does not work in Windows 10 either so not a direct fault of Proton). Ran several hours with anisotropic 16x filter, anti-aliasing on, HDR on high, not see any issues.

Setting textures to high causes the game to run with a black screen and the log is flooded with framebuffer errors Setting shadow resolution to high makes the game crash Running the game at 4k will cause the game to only render UI Anti-aliasing doesn't seem to do anything Forcing anti-aliasing via the driver causes similar issues to setting texture or shadow resolution

Game itself seems to run fine. It's the UI that is the problem, it doesn't register clicks after the main menu.

Same as with Proton 3.7, game launches but you are unable to click certain UI elements that prevent you from actually starting a game.

Game works well. However, decent cpu (like what I am using) is requred to play 4k on ultra, if you want to get at least 60fps.

Everything appears to be working properly

Shows "Running" next to game for a few seconds and then stops, nothing starts, no errors

Game runs well, but cannot continue character or start a new character due to EAC kicking or timeout.

Game runs in offline mode, can't play online due to EAC. At one point, EAC worked in lutris's patched fortnite build of wine. Framerate also seems worse with Proton.

Game starts, you can change settings in menu but you can't continue your game because it crashes while loading.

After downloading the game on Steam, but before launching it, navigate to the game's redist folder (.../steamapps/common/abyss_odyssey/_CommonRedist/) and delete the DotNet and vcredist folders. Once that is done, click the play button; the game won't launch, but it will generate the game's prefix (.../steamapps/compatdata/255070/pfx/). Install xact and xna40 to this prefix via winetricks/protontricks, and the game should be able to launch properly.

As other comments said, you have to delete "DotNet" folder from "[YOUR_STEAM_DIR]/abyss_odyssey/_CommonRedist/", "export WINEPREFIX" environment variable to "[YOUR_STEAM_DIR]/compatdata/255070/pfx" then launch "winetricks xact xna40". I left vcredist folder and it still works. Abyss Odyssey does launch but I get 45-50 fps on a Nvidia 1070 Ti. Only played prologue.

Long installation time of redistributable prerequisites

no

PATH START THIS GAMES IS NOT WORKING

Runs perfectly (60fps) after a little extra work. This verifies a previous gold report. 1: Install game 2: rm -Rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/abyss_odyssey/_CommonRedist/DotNet 3: rm -Rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/abyss_odyssey/_CommonRedist/vcredist 4: Attempt to launch game. It won't run. This is expected. 5: protontricks 255070 xact 6: protontricks 255070 xna40 7: run game

Won't launch at all

First time starting it downloads 8 files (directx / microsoft something something). Then it does nothing. Subsequent starts do nothing. Borked

Will not start

doesn't start.

The game doesn't launch.

Crash at startup, lot's of "File not found" messages

Doesn't work at all :-(

Still broken

shows as running in my library for a few seconds, then syncing, then nothing. doesn't open the game.

It does not launch at all

Doesn't launch, nothing happens

Game installs on Steam. Game won't launch, just crashes straight back to the Steam library.

Doesn't launch

Crashes on launch

Nothing happens on launch, tried also forcing windowed and without overlays.

Nothing happens, game doesn't start

Game exits on startup

Main window with black contents pops up and then crashes after 2 seconds.

Shows a window and then it crashes

Open a black screen, after a few seconds the game closes.

Main window with black contents pops up and then immediately crashes.

Game doesn't start.

Seems to run perfect.

work fine, online not tested, work with xbox 360 controller wirreless (using xoxdrv)

Wireless xbox 360 controller works perfectly. No tested online

the mouse cursor flickers a bit here and there, but that's hardly a complaint

No issues, even at 1440p. Doesn't remember settings between runs, but probably a general game bug

The cursor flickers a bit when over interactive elements

Finished the game in one sitting at 1080p and fullscreen. Didn't encounter any significant problems.

HTC Vive. Intro plays, but in-game is black screen

Sometimes seems like crashed, but just long loading times and some minor things are invisible, the game is still perfectly playable.

Long looad times. I thought it was borked at first. Everything worked fine tho. just be patient on startup/level change

No problems. Runs well.

No issues, played through an entire run back to the menu area.

Driver supporting VK_EXT_transform_feedback fixes invisible characters.

Some invisible characters. Light static on audio.

Just silently exits

Works great out of the box. Be a great game without DFM.

Playing through first gameplay. Played flawless

Totally broken on AMD Graphics. Followed the official steam play guide and even used unstable in case stable was broken. Opens to a white screen and instantly crashes. Works fine on My Nvidia Laptop however.

The only issue: When you have a bright explosion it get some lightening errors.. But you can play as normal it is. The XBOX ONE controller works flawlessly.

No issues at all. Runs flawlessly.

Minor graphical glitches

It's strange, because on my system version on wine it runs flawlessly

Wont open

doesnt start

Doesn't start

wont start

Good.:)

No sound and only works with 4:3 resolutions, otherwise seems okay.

I tested this through several missions and it was flawless.

First time setup took abnormally long, and then it paused indefinitely on "Preparing to launch." Terminal is spamming "eventfd: Too many open files." Running steam with ulimit -n 4096 fixed that problem, but then it gets past that part and just hangs again before the window is created. No abnormal error messages in the Terminal. After that, I killed all wine/proton-related processes and tried launching again. It goes through the first time setup again, and then promptly crashes. Steam terminal output of crash here: https://pastebin.com/eX4rjaQ8

Doesn't start

Gives error message "Could not load font Tahoma" and I am not in the mood of finding out how to install fonts in proton.

Runs perfectly out of the box, good performance and no issues, also tested switching between desktop and the game.

Crash on start.

The game don not start at all.

Hangs during start ...i can see the pictue and the loading mouse cursor ...than nothing happens

It works full screen with high preset settings! But ... the problem is to start the game. At start we only have a black screen with the green cursor; when you see "Access Steam Community ... shift tab" message, press 2x ESC button, and you land to the splash screen, then the menu ... with a bright green background! But, you're able to access all menus and start the game. Vanilla version tested successfully (Reboot Edition crashes all the time); no login done, played offline on skirmish mode.

Crashes on start. The ingame mousecursor is visible.

The game don not start at all.

Runs "First time setup" but never starts

Works fine, has some weird error when starting that says to retry but doesn't seem to affect anything.

Opens but hangs on a black screen. After closing the window, still shows as running in Steam until the process is force killed.

Black window is displayed and hangs. Requires force kill.

.NET 3.5 SP1 install fails, but you can safely ignore the error. The game runs just perfect.

Missing Cursor in the Menu; Severall Error Messages during first start /wine dll /ms crap installation stuff like .Net...etc

works

no flaw

-

Invisible textures are fixed with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%. But then the main issue is the camera moving fast and by itself on the bottom right of the screen. It's "playable", but with pain and tears, until this "bug" is solved.

HTC Vive. White screen

launches into a blank screen

Game launcher pops up properly, but after clicking on the 'Play Advanced Tactics Gold' button nothing happens.

Runs perfectly.

First run crash. 2nd Run shows dialog with 2 options. Choosing 1st opt crash, choosing 2nd opt will run the game. Game runs well, sometimes stutter but most of time smooth. Sometimes the game crashes but re-run the game will continue without problem (as is stated in Appdb page of the game)

works just like windows :)

Everything works so far.

runs with no issues

Ran flawlessly out of the box.

Like native (unity game)

d3d11: failed to create D3D11 device (0x80004005) ?

Works great with no issues found

adventure-communist.exe caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module adventure-communist.exe at 0023:005276f9.

Does not start at all

Application Load Error 3:0000065438

Shows empty window on desktop. Does not display anything to HMD.

Working on Wine D3d11 but after the start up of the game it display black screen. Disabling Esync and D3d11 does not work

wont open

Was having some slight audio issues but the game plays otherwise perfectly fine.

Perfect

Nope

Runs 100% smoothly out of the box. No changes required.

Units are invisible

Tested freeplay and matchplay and everything works perfectly. Performance generally 75% of Windows.

Everything works, square blocks on main menu look weird but no hindrance

Works perfectly inc controller, very minor graphical artefacts on main menu

Appears to run perfectly

While my hardware is lacking, the game runs perfectly (don't forget to install the ppa drivers)

Not tested: controller support. Performance is excellent. Steady 1080p60 on max settings on my 750ti.

Sadly the game was removed from the store page.

.Net framework doesn't install

No errors observed

Everything works fine but game like to freeze over and over within a few seconds intervals. Playing it in this stage is hard and painful.

no problems

Feels native

Starts via dosbox and doesn't appear to have any immediate problems.

Everything works.

Crashes with this error: "prMovie::Open - Unable to connect pins 80040218"

Crashes at startup. WineHQ AppDB mentions that the game requires installing xact and d3dx9_42 with winetricks and then also placing rogue WMP10 DLLs into game folder to function and installing suitable additional Microsoft video codecs. Tested and it didn't cause the game to crash but instead made it freeze at start-up. Probably requires tweaking the codecs.

Crashes with error: "prMovie::Open - Unable to connect pins 80040218"

Get a black screen. Once I was able to get back to desktop error message : "prMovie::Open - Unable to connect pins 80040218"

"installs" directX, then launches. Briefly shows Game Cursor, then gets stuck on black screen. Alt-Tabbing revealed an error window: "prMovie: Open - Unable to connect pins". Clicking ok on this error closes the game.

It starts up to a blank screen. I waited around for a while and tried hitting a bunch of buttons to make sure it wasn't just a video not playing, before eventually killing the process.

After running install quartz with protontricks and manually installing the LAVFilters codec pack game runs just fine. Original issue related to codecs in Ubuntu, wine, or both.

Seems to have the same issues as the other Agarest games (hangs on startup)

Causes Wine/Proton to stop responding at start-up sometimes. Has identical issues to Agarest: Generations of War regarding missing codecs and inability to play the game because it crashes at start-up.

Significant slowdown at points, but still mostly playable. Windows original wasn't exactly well-optimized either, but this is worse.

Game window instantly crashes. Tried all three launcher options (disable esync, d3d11 and use wine d3d11), but neither worked unfortunately.

Had to rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

I bought it in a bundle with all its DLCs (expansions). After doing the Launcher.exe rename trick it started up but didn't go further than mod checking. I had to enable all DLCs since then it runs great. At times it lags a bit.

Renamed "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe".

Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe. Game runs flawlessly.

Installation was easy and after unaming AKHD.exe to Launcher.exe it runs. But it performance lacks. The operation with the mouse is tough and slow.

Not playable on proton 3.7.8 (won't start, but not problem on 3.16.4)

Game starts but stays on the Validating Subscriptions screen indefinitely. same on 2 PCs on manjaro with my gtx 1050ti or 1060 no work

Do a fresh installation if you used it with earlier proton versions. Comes with fonts now and the Launcher renaming fix is not required anymore. Runs out of the box just fine.

Exited the Subscription window using Ctrl+C for the first time. Runs perfectly after launching the game the second time

copy the AoE.exe to Launcher.exe

Workaround: Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Game worked great (I think I had to open and close it around 2/3 times on first launch). After around 5 hours of play, the sound went all weird and game speed stuttered. Though that might be due to rending more soldiers than my HD 6670 can handle. This is why I'm going to be upgrading to an RX 550 so I'll do another report with that. Also my current video card doens't support Vulkan where as the RX 550 does.

I deleted Launcher.exe and renamed 'Aok HD.exe' to Launcher.exe. Worked perfectly after that.

The game runs great, however, I had to restart the game the first time for it to work. Fonts are blinking and this make naming saved games really difficult.

Renamed the launchers and it works for me.

Under 3.7-8, after applying the launcher rename tweak detailed by others the game launched for me, but it would not allow me to progress beyond the initial mod detection screen. It had an error connecting to the Steam network and did not progress. After upgrading to 3.16-4 the steam network issue disappears. The scroll speed in game is a bit off but haven't had time to play a full game yet. Initially seems responsive and graphics look fine, though there was a static screen when my game first launched

Won't start.

After the AoK.exe -> Laucher.exe rename it started up just fine, but there is a 6-8 second delay on clicking anything or on the game updating. Makes it unplayable for now.

Runs out of the box, even on rather old laptops with outdated drivers

Rename Launcher.exe to whatever you want and rename AoKHD.exe to Launcher.exe. On first launch I was stuck on "validating subscriptions", preesing ctrl+c closed the window and brought me to the main menu, from second launch onwards I didn't have this problem.

Perfectly worked

Worked out of the box, no need to rename anything. On first launch it was stuck at validating subscriptions, but worked fine after restarting the game.

Does not start

Renamed the file Launcher.exe to Launcher2.exe and AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe.

I play with friends a week or so every day 3-5 games no problems so far

Does not start

Runs perfect

Scroll inertia&Antialias object shadows disabled needed to ensure perfect performance in 4 vs 4

Earned from the second run. The label is not modified.

Upgrading previous Silver rating to Gold. Game launch requires launcher renaming. After disabling some graphics functions in the ingame options (Vsync, 3d water, antialias shadows), the framerate is equivalent to Windows with those options enabled. The higher framerate helps with the mouse click&drag delay - although it's still present if the mouse is moved very quickly, it's definitely usable now.

Renamed AOK HD.exe to Launcher.exe to work, text in game display with ghost shadow

Just delete the Launcher.exe and rename the aoe2 exe to Launcher, after that u should start the game once, it will crash but after the 2. launch u can play it

Renamed HD.exe to Launcher.exe

All are working in first run.

Changed the file AoK HD.exe name to Laucher.exe (and Launcher.exe to Launcher2.exe), as people commented, but the game never launches.

The game works very well, it only has two minor problems, all in the multiplayer screen before starting a game: the input text background is black so it is impossible to see what you are entering (try for example to change the name of the game or chat with players) and the button to invite your friends to join the game doesn't work.

No configuration required. Runs perfect.

had to rename the launcher

Workaround: Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe. Visual bug: text input boxes are flickering black when typing.

Launcher works without problems, playing Multiplayer with several friends and AI worked perfectly too. A short Singleplayer mission showed no issues either.

Launcher starts, application starts, but after validating subscriptions, game just closes

I did have an issue with the game not loading after validating subscriptions, but turned out to be a corrupt profile. Assuming it's not related to SteamPlay/Proton, but this fixed it https://steamcommunity.com/app/221380/discussions/2/492378265878075288/

Unlike with older Proton version, it works out of the box with no tweaks required. Just seems slower than in Window$ so I let the rate on Gold.

Runs great. Uses desktop resolution, does not let to change it. As I have 3840x2160 resolution on 28" display, UI is hard to see and text is hard to read.

Renamed "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe". Games seems to run like the native version.

The Launcher freezes, so rename Age2HD.exe to Launcher.exe. Game freezes during loading screens but resumes after a few moments with no further issues apparent.

Workaround: Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

runs perfectly (including launcher, workshop and steam overlay)

Single player mode is running flawlessly, I didn't test multiplayer yet

Game won't start unless you replace Launcher.exe with AoK HD.exe. The textures and fonts look pixelated. Some ground textures don't tile properly (e.g. dirt in Barbarossa mission 1 near the berries)

Worked after renaming Launcher.exe to Launcher(old).exe and AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe. There is a minor bug when typing text e.g. when saving a game. You can't see the text you're typing clearly, because there is a black background. Not really a big deal though.

No problems at all.

Had to rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Runs perfectly out of the box. No longer need to edit game files with latest Proton beta.

Install vanilla version from game (No Beta patches) and rename the "Launcher.exe" to "Launcher.old.exe" and rename "AoK HD.exe" to "launcher.exe"

Run better then on windows

With proton 3.16-4 it runs perfectly out of the box

It starts. You can even select all game settings, only when you select click last "Play" to start match against NPC message pop up "Can't find rmsScript:'es@canals_v2.rms' ". It is funny that you still can hear sounds that game is still running in background. Used to work few months ago without problem.

Had to rename nothing. Textboxs (Chat etc.) ist flickering while inserting Text. Besides this the game works like a charme.

I played a mission from the first campaign and it run very smoothly.

Switching out of the window and back in caused the camera to scroll to one corner forever. It didn't start anymore after setting the game to windowed mode, now it's completely broken. "validating subscriptions" can be skipped with ctrl+c

Renamed launcher to get the game to start. Framerate extremely low & substantial delay before mouse clicks register. Otherwise playable.

Minor issues with text, otherwise ran perfectly out of the box with no need to rename or move files.

Runs out of the box, screen flickers when Steam window is behind the application, no flicker if no other window. Lost Keyboard Hotkeys temporarily after accidently pressing the windows key and returning to Gnome. While Alt-Tab did not make the keys work again, pressing the windows key again and switching back to the game made the keys work again. All in all, very impressed.

Absolutely nothing happens.

Nothing...

Renamed the file Launcher.exe to Launcher2.exe and AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe.

Runs perfectly out of the box.

Everything works as expected. First boot showed a popup screen that wouldn't close, but a restart of the game worked past that check and proceeded as expected.

As long as you rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe it should work.

On first launch, it got stuck for minutes trying to verify add-ons. I eventually killed the process. On second launch, it got past that screen, and I selected Window mode for graphics. It worked fine until I changed the size of the window. Then, I think the map for detecting mouseclicks was wrong, because nothing worked afterwards. I killed the process again. Just use the defaults. It seems fine that way.

Worked flawlessly after renaming AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe. (You can delete the original Launcher.exe)

Games works flawlessly after deleting the launcher and renaiming the games exe. It might not get past the mod validation on first startup, it will however on subsequent ones

As someone mentioned before, I needed also to rename "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe" and on the first start I stucked at "validation subscription". After that the game runs flawlessly. Text boxes are a little bit flickering.

Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe in the game's directory.

Rename 'Launcher.exe' to 'Launcher.old.exe' and 'AoK HD.exe' to 'Launcher.exe'.

Need to rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe. Works perfectly with this tweak. Mods from the Steam workshop also work.

Tried the Launcher.exe workaround, couldn't get it to run still. In Steam library, it says "running" next to the game but it never actually starts.

Changed the file AoK HD.exe name to Laucher.exe, as people commented, but the game never launches.

Rename "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe". The game has a bit of lag.

As others suggested, you have to rename "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe" in the gamefiles.

Worked without any problem. No need to rename the executable. No crash when checking workshop files. No problem at all. Can run immediately after installing from Steam client.

Workaround AoK HD.exe -> Launcher.exe needed. Mouse clicks are registered like a 1/4 of a second later.

Crashes on the middle of the game

AoK HD.exe Launcher.exe / stuck on "validating subscriptions" at first start only

Had to rename AoK.exe to Launcher.exe, then worked flawlessly.

Rename Launcher.exe to Something Else And Name AoK HD.exe Launcher.exe Make Sure that in Steam Play Settings You have 'Use this Tool instead of game specific selections from steam' Unticked as thats what might Prevent the Game From Launching Like it did for Me. Incase It Still Doesn't Work Uninstall Wine Completely And Try To Reinstall The Game.

Had to do the launch.exe switch like everyone else. Fonts look a little weird, but other than that looks great and runs great.

Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

First of need to bypass Launcher.exe. In ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Age2HD , I renamed AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe and it starts, otherwise nothing happens. After that it is just stuck / timeouts in "Validating subscriptions". Can't click Okay. Clicking 'OK' does nothing. Restarting doesn't help.

I previously rated it Borked, but I managed to get it working with some patience. It was stuck in Validating Subscriptions. But after steam restart and trying to lunch the game few times it eventually worked! (In ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Age2HD , I renamed AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe and it starts, otherwise nothing happens at all.) After working out the Launcher, and the Validating Subscriptions (which was a bit random), it works perfectly.

Game starts but stays on the Validating Subscriptions screen indefinitely.

works like on native after common fix (rename file)

Runs perfectly (after an update).

Rename AoKHD.exe to Launcher.exe. And everything is fine, tested playing with my friend on multiplayer mode

There were a few minor problems. The buttons on the launch screen had no text in the beginning, but after switching away from the window and switching back, the text appeared. Also, the game was stuck in the "validating subscriptions" screen. I canceled that with Ctrl-C and proceeded to the game, which seemed to run properly. My only other complaint is that the quality of the text in the game is a little low.

Worked perfectly at first run with proton 3.16

Worked perfectly with cross OS online multiplayer

Single player working straight out of the box with no tweaks

Renamed the file Launcher.exe to Launcher2.exe and AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe.

I deleted Launcher.exe and changed the name of AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Renamed HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Runs perfectly on version Beta 3.16-4

Does not start.

Runs perfectly in all game modes. However, when alt-tabbing out of the game window, the game sometimes keeps scrolling into some corner (this problem has also been reported on Windows, so this is probably a problem of the game itself and not Proton)

does not start

Keep in mind that you will need to run twice in first time, idk why but after failed attempt (crash in licence check), then when you close and open it again, works without any issue

Moved Launcher.exe to a directory. Renamed "AOK HD".exe to Launcher.exe

Crashes when trying to edit or load a scenario

rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe; The only tiny issue I have is an invisible font when you name savegames.

Had to close launcher the first time, but worked from the second time on. Input fields have invisible text.

Rename 'Aok HD.exe' to Launcher.exe

Rename AoKHD.exe to Launcher.exe (deleting old Launcher.exe file). Works like a charm, no issues with mods or online play.

Is like you where playing in Windows. It works out of the box without a problem.

Renamed Ao2 HD.exe to Launcher.exe. Game stuck "validating subscription" on the first try. In game performance was good (used optirun)

1. Had to rename Aoe.exe to Laucher.exe 2. Had to use Lauch Option "SKIPINTRO" 3. Minor bugs in Multiplayer games - you don't see what you are typing 4. In long Multiplayer games (over 2h ingame time) the game freezes and the game sometimes just exits after some time.

text boxes are flickering

Delete launcher.exe, rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe, game runs perfectly including Multiplayer.

Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Doesn't start at all. However, some Windows users also seem to be experiencing this

No crash, just doesnt open

You have to rename the AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Workaround: Rename the game executable to Launcher.exe

Workaround: Rename the game executable to Launcher.exe

The launcher is broken, so replacing it with a symlink/copy of AoK.exe is required (Example for how to do this with user_settings.py: https://gist.github.com/ananace/bc3e51c030c948d869166722d8adb957)

You need to exchange the names of the files Launcher.exe and AoK HD.exe & You can lost your achievements.

Rename AoK.exe to Launcher.exe (overwrite) to launch (find files to rename - Right-click title -> Properties -> Browse Local Files..)

Performance is a bit on the low side, requires workaround: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221380/discussions/2/828935361270250345?

Does not launch

Renamed the Aok executable to Launcher.exe, otherwise works perfectly

Upon launching the game on Proton I lost all my Steam achievements on this game, run at own risk. Game runs normally regardless of that. No workaround needed.

Seemingly wont even install. Everytime it runs it has to reinstall the windows dependencies such as directx and VC redist

You have to rename the AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

Symlinked Launcher.exe to AoK HD.exe. Game won't launch. Fatal Error: Failed to load image 'Z:\home\marco\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\textures\ui\xcamdig_stretch.png' The picture in question does exist. I double-checked.

Tried the workaround. Gives me the fatal error: Failed to load image Z:\home\xxx\.steam\steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\textures\ui\xcamdlg_stretched.png

virtual desktop used - csmt off - if mouse cursor dont allow select upper menu (diplomacy) use alt + enter to use windowed mode

Perfect

Renamed AoK Hd.exe to Launcher.exe

Work fine

Workaround AoK HD.exe -> Launcher.exe needed. Mouse clicks are registered like a 1/4 of a second later.

just rename Laucher.exe and AoK.exe (example Laucher.exe = Laucher1.exe and AoK.exe=Laucher.exe)

Update to previous report of the game crashing: It randomly started working. Don't know why.

Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe, otherwise it won't start

Native performance, no errors. Only issue is that the fonts look a little wonky.

Workaround: Rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe to launch.

None taken

no run

Rename "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe", also text input for saving doesn't appear very well

Had to employ two workarounds: 1. Rename 'AoK HD.exe' into 'Launcher.exe' 2. Copy d3dx9 files (D3DCompiler_43.dll, d3dcsx_43.dll, d3dx9_43.dll) from the D3D9_DLLBACKUP directory to Age2HD root. The second one was needed in order to launch a map, as otherwise it would fail on texture load (Age2HD/resources/_common/terrain/water/normal0.png). The wine-supplied d3dx9_43.dll is incomplete.

Just crashes.

Use the mentioned workaround (rename AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe). Forrest Nothing mods are extremely slow, to the point of being unplayable. x256 and x10 worked just fine. Normal single player works fine. Haven't tested online yet, since I don't want to cause issues to other players if my computer becomes slow.

Had to rename AoK HD.exe Launcher.exe. Warning! Earned Achievements disappeared from Steam once the game ran. Achievements don't seem to pop in Linux, but running the game from Windows and earning a new achievement brought most of them back, with a fresh date/timestamp.

like other stated I renamed the "AoK HD.exe" to "Launcher.exe", don't know if it doesn't work if not done

i try to launch, but nothing...

Had to rename AOE HD.exe to Launcher.exe, game froze on "validating subscriptions" on the first run but worked fine when restarted

Errors

Works great when Launcher.exe is removed and AOE HD.exe is renamed to Launcher.exe.

Had to bypass launcher (renamed AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe)

Performance is native-like. BUT: 'AoK HD.exe' needs to be renamed into 'Launcher.exe' and there is an ELO problem - my ELO was reset and is now permanently stuck at 1600 (after a win/loss it reports that ELO is out of bounds and resets it to 1600). Also all achievements are lost (personally don't care about them at all, but its not running ok in that segment).

You have to rename the AoK HD.exe to Launcher.exe

You need to rename the game executable to Launcher.exe also you can lost your achievements. Everything else is ok.

does not start

PID generator DLL not found

Entering the CD-Key is impossible, unless "corefonts" are installed (The default Font's character width is too large to fit into the Textboxes). Installing mfc42 is necessary, otherwise the game will throw up a "PID DLL missing" error when attempting to verify the entered CD-Key. The game starts up, Intro Cutscenes play without any issues. However, instead of showing the Main Menu Screen, the Game crashes. Launching the Game in a Virtual Desktop results in an infinite loading screen with misplaced textures instead of a crash message.

"Error loading the PID Generator DLL. The DLL could not be found!"

Error loading the PID generator DLL. The DLL could not be found!

Complete require to change font to corefonts (or you can't enter the CD key), all will start find and crash on menu

After tweaking with "WINESERVER="${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Proton 3.7/dist/bin/wineserver" WINETRICKS="${PWD}/winetricks" ${PWD}/protontricks 105450 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts", the game works flawlessly.

Game works with wine if you pick the Windows XP preset on .cfg

Requires these tweaks to run: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026. Consistently shuts off my PC after about ~5 minutes of playing

After running 'protontricks 105450 mfc42' to get rid of the dll issue with the license key, and ensuring I had corefonts installed, I can get through the opening movies but then it crashes when it tries to load the menu.

Maxed out, getting 240fps+. Didn't test MP. Pop up a console before launching the game: rm -r ${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450 WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts

The game doesn't respond to input for the first 10 or so seconds and can't build anything unless I restart steam, it like the alt key is being registered as pressed down. Audio glitches up but disabling music fixes it. Note that the audio problem is also on windows 10 for me so don't know if it's the game in general. Before running the stuff these other people suggest you need to install wine32(and possibly add 32bit architecture as well through terminal) if it's not already installed.

After following these steps (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026) everything worked fine

UNOFFICIAL rm -r "${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450" WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/" winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts

Apply the following trick : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026 - once done the game works perfectly

The problem was that it did not accept CD Key. My solution was this: 'protontricks 105450 d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts' after running this game runs great. One more thing: after quitting the game, the game seems to be running in background as I can hear sound. Checked running processes and had to kill age3.exe to quit game completely.

I confirm that it runs perfectly after running these tweaks https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026

Works only after enforcing --> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17 ( look for comment of user "ryao", starting with: "I just tried it out and it still works, but there have been changes to proton that require adjustments to the old instructions. Here are new instructions: " ) After that, works great.

I can't activate the game. If i select warchief or asian, the game launch but after cinematic crashes.

used fix https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026 and changed path of last step from .local to .steam

use the commands "rm -r "${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450"" and "WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/" winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts" to get all games in one you have to use this command "WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/" regedit" and then under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/microsoft games copy pid and digitalproductid from age of empires 3 expansion pack 2/1.0 to age of empires 3 expansion pack/1.0 (i couldn't copy digitalproductid so i had to type the whole thing manually) and then when you launch Asian Dynastys all content will be present

To get the game to work I entered in these commands into the terminal. (m -r "${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450") (WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts) Overall the game runs well. I played for about 3 hours and did not experience any crashes or glitches.

Needs `winetricks winxp mfc42 l3codecx sound=alsa`. I need to use alsa instead of pulseaudio, or the sound and parts of the game (scripting?) would hang up.

Unable to put in CD key as Fedora font is too big and only allows 4 characters a box (when 5 are needed).

Follow the instructions here and it will work perfectly: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026

Worked with https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026 and "winetricks winxp mfc42 l3codecx sound=alsa"

So following the suggested fixes (WINESERVER="${HOME}/.steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16 Beta/dist/bin/wineserver" WINETRICKS="${PWD}/winetricks" ${PWD}/protontricks 105450 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts")its still not working.

Works almost perfectly after using: WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts But I noticed when I play the campaign that sometimes I have issues with the sound, e.g I only hear the dialogue sounds and not the normal sound from the game or vice versa. At one point in a cut scene the game even has hung up and I had to kill the game. Everything else works fine and flawlessly.

After running 'protontricks 105450 mfc42' to get rid of the dll issue with the license key, and ensuring I had corefonts installed, I can get through the opening movies but then it crashes when it tries to load the menu.

I managed to get it to run by following the steps in this post: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/17#issuecomment-423592026 I had to edit the path to the steamapps folder location in the post linked to above and in the protontricks Python script, because I've changed the location of the Steam Library folder using the Steam client and it's different from the default location. There were also a lot of errors and warnings thrown at me as I was installing the required components, but it apparently didn't matter since I was able to play a multi-player game session that lasted for more than an hour and it ran without any noticeable issues.

The following line on terminal did the trick: WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts Sometimes audio stops playing

Runs perfectly after executing the following command: WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts

Surprised to see this game run perfectly on my old laptop. Had to use the following command to get through product activation: WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts

You have to set "Windows Version" to "Windows XP" in winecfg and install l3codecx with winetricks. That's enough to make "Asian Dynasties" (and "The War Chiefs", but that's less important) playable. I didn't play game much, but as far as I can tell you have access to all content (campaigns, faction, etc.) from main game and "The War Chiefs" expansion in "Asian Dynasties", so you don't really need to launch main game ("Play Age of Empires III: Complete Collection" in menu), which required key. If for some reason you want to launch it, you have to install mfc42 and (maybe, I don't have to) corefonts with winetricks to make key insert dialog work. On Debian (and probably on derivatives) Proton prefixes located in the "$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata" directory, so you can do this to launch winetricks for "Age of Empires III": export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/105450/pfx" winetricks --gui

Flawless

Runs fine after setting launch options to "PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%", but a bit slower than normal

Worked perfect.

Bypassing the launcher and using Wine D3D11 was needed. Game mostly runs fine, but it lags a bit and load times are long.

Used the "PROTON_USE_WINE3D11=1 %command%" launch setting. Without that, game stutters sometimes. Runs a little slower than normal, still perfectly playable though.

"Initialization Failed Direct3D initialization failed. Frequent cause is an old or corrupted driver." Full log below https://pastebin.com/ShqtuhLG

sometime it lags a little bit when I hover of the map

After add "PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%" to launch options works perfect.

Launcher has to be skipped. Music tears while loading the map.

I could not see any issues at all in my entire play through, over 7 hours. I had the max settings, and got a stable frame rate. Comparable to Windows. If you bought this and thought it was native, and found out it wasn't native, you'd be surprised that it wasn't native due to how well it runs.

Plays great right out of the box. I recommend skipping the launcher but it's not required anymore.

I played this a lot completed the game now playing expansion pack. Works great no problem at all.. Oh You have to bypass Launcher for it to work.. Thats so easy steam gives you that option when launching

After applying the same PROTON_USE_WINE3D11=1 %command% in the run settings, works totally fine, super smooth

You have to skip the launcher for the game to run - an option that's helpfully available on launch

Must skip launcher

virtual desktop off - csmt off - windowed

Crashes on startup, error message reads "Direct3D initialization failed. Frequent cause is an old or corrupted driver." logs reads "ERROR: Failed after determining machine spec with code=0"

Needs to skip the launcher

Skipped laucher

Crashes on startup, error message reads "Direct3D initialization failed. Frequent cause is an old or corrupted driver." logs reads "ERROR: Failed after determining machine spec with code=0"

Crashes on startup, error message reads "Direct3D initialization failed. Frequent cause is an old or corrupted driver." logs reads "ERROR: Failed after determining machine spec with code=0"

You need to set launch option in Steam : PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% Else it will not start, also bypass launcher when launching it in Steam

Crashes when viewing postgame timeline, otherwise no problems

Launch options "PROTON_USE_WINE3D11=1 %command%" and select (Bypass Launcher) at start.

Didn't test game saving. Played some of the Tutorial at 1080p

Small graphical glitches with flickering lights, hardly noticeable.

Black screen in fullscreen mode. Works fine in window mode both with D3D or not. Maybe a bug because of my old graphics driver (fglrx).

Works without any tweaks right away

Worked without any tweaks.

Both software renderer and Direct3D work perfect

Ultra graphics runs fine, PulseAudio clipping until master volume was turned down

Works perfectly

Both software renderer and Direct3D work perfect

wont start. crash message. have do kill a zombie process

Minor stuttering during cutscenes

Like native

Doesn't run. Says "running" then nothing.

With the latest proton version and drivers the game runs however I barely manage to get 5fps making the game completely unplayable. I tried the various Proton launch options to see if any of them made any difference but no dice.

Game crashes right after start. No error message.

Cannot launch new game.

Opens Autorun.exe splash screen, but game wont open

Works out of the box with native like performance, also tested that switching between fullscreen/windowed works.

It works like in Windows

Choppy sound. Cant access main menu from game. Game crash when exiting

Can stutter a bit when moving to new areas, but such is typical of steam play.

Perfect

Nothing happens on launch.

Game crashes without an error message.

Requires no tweaks. Supports the Steam Controller.
