I'm interested if someone got any version of it (preferably older ones) work on Linux. I failed at it. The game is fire and I miss it ;-c

arent all aoe games on proton db gold or higher?

I specified older versions as I want my original CD image to work because it has nice translation, local multiplayer, probably lower energy consumption and is free for me.

I see DE keys for Steam for $8, but I'd need a bunch of them if I'd ever want to have a lan party.

would that not just require you to go through the voobly process for the original version of aoe2? https://reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/2zyogr/how_to_playing_aoe_ii_on_voobly_on_linux_with_wine/

its basically what aoe2 users did before DE, as aoe2hd was a bad modernized port.

Ty, I'd give it a try.

I still search on and off every few years trying to get my old Chessmaster 9000 CDs working

It works great through proton. I just purchased the Difinitive Edition on steam a couple days ago.

I wish I can launch the OG one for many reasons, but I couldn't manage to make it work.

Does DE support local MP, connecting by IP?
