Now click on the 'Display' tab on the top. You can name the shortcut "Steam - Age of Empires 2 HD" then click 'I don't want to make another shortcut' and click next. It is very important that you select the virtual drive you just set up before clicking to make a new shortcut. Select the virtual drive, then click 'Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive'Ĭheck the screenshot above for reference. On the left side, find the virtual drive you just set up, it will be listed with the same name you typed in during set-up. Now back at the main PlayOnLinux window, click on 'Configure', it does not matter what game shortcut is selected when you click 'Configure' so don't worry about that. The virtual drive has already been set up by this point and there is no need to run any install file. When it asks you for the install file to run, click on 'Cancel' When the Steam installation is finished, make sure you uncheck the box for starting Steam, we do not want to start Steam at this point.Īfter you have unchecked the box for starting Steam, you can click on Finished I always prefer to install Steam by using this library in PlayOnLinux since it takes care of the missing font issue in Steam, while also installing the corefonts library so it looks better than just a manual Steam install.Ĭlick to accept the license, pick your preferred language, and just let it install to the default location and click Install You have to go through the Steam install process manually. When you come to the selection of libraries, select POL_Install_steam In the new window that appears, select 'Disable', then simply click OK to close the wine config window. Now find and select it on the list below, then click on 'Edit' Now select the 'Libraries' tab, and under 'New override for library:' type in "gameoverlayrenderer" and click 'Add' For some people it appears to be fixed, but there are still people reporting it as an issue on WineHQ, so it is best to disable the Steam overlay. Next we will do a workaround for an issue with the Steam overlay. Note: Even though the language is Norwegian in my screenshot, the layout will look the same for you If you set anything lower than that, the game will crash on start. Just keep in mind that the lowest resolution you can use is 1024 x 768. Note that you can set the resolution lower if you want the game to appear as a window in your desktop. My desktop is at 1920 x 1080, so I set that for the wine virtual desktop resolution. Make sure that you set the resolution to your desktop resolution. When the wine configuration window appear, select the 'Graphics' tab, and click the checkbox for all four options. Make sure you select '32-bits window installation' if you are on a 64-bit system, although as mentioned earlier, it should also work using a 64-bit virtual drive if so desired. On the wine selection window, select the 1.7.33 version and click 'Next'. On the next window, select 'Use another version of Wine', 'Configure wine' and 'Install some libraries' Select 'Install a program in a new virtual drive' Back at the main PlayOnLinux window, select 'Install' If you have a 64-bits system, make sure you have selected the 'Wine versions (x86)' tab above, although it works well on 64-bit as well to my experience, I just will not cover it in this guide In the new window that appears, scroll through the 'Available Wine versions' box to find '1.7.33' and click on the right pointing arrow to install it, afterwards it will appear on the right side under 'Installed Wine versions' Launch PlayOnLinux and select 'Tools' and 'Manage Wine versions' To learn more about PlayOnLinux and Wine configuration, see the online manual: PlayOnLinux explained The guide will explain how to setup Steam in PlayOnLinux so that you can install and play the game in steam. The game features a lot of historical single player campaigns, as well as random maps and a map editor. You advance through different medieval stages where your available troops and technologies become better as you advance in "age". Age of Empires 2 is an old classic among strategy games.
