I played the games several times last night. I did a single player Skirmish and a couple of online games (I was even able to host). The other person playing with me was on a PC, I am on a MacBook Pro M2 running Sequoia 15.2. It is best with an external display as the notch in the MacBook will cover up how much gold you have and I didn't see any way to fix it other than use my external screen.
- I installed Crossover Preview (20241028)
- Installed a new bottle for Age of Mythology Retold
- Set my graphics to D3DMetal
- In "Bottle Actions", I did "Install Application into Bottle"
- I searched for the latest C++ redistributable (as of today, it is listed as untested for Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Runtime)
- It gave me an error that another version was installed and I clicked either continue or skip (just not cancel)
- It did it again
- Then it completed
- I started the game, it gave me a warning about an unknown graphics card, I clicked ok.
- Then I played the game to my heart's content for hours and had zero issues and zero lag.
Hope it helps and Happy Holidays
