Hi gang, i managed to get age of empires 1 DE working. However roughly around the 30-35 minute mark in multiplayer i get disconnected and error "out of sync error" arises and i get disconnected from the game.
Thats a difference of latency between players, apparently pretty common problem for that game, there are a couple of "fixes" that may work, google it on Steam forums / AOE forums or either Reddit.
This solution works for AOE II DE and AOE III DE, so hopefully it will work for this game too:
Install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (14.0) Redistributable Runtime (64-bit)" into the bottle that has AOE DE installed.
Go into Wine Configuration for your AOE DE bottle (that's in the right sidebar), go to libraries, enter concrt140 in the "New override for library" field. It will now appear in the "Existing overrides" field, so you can select it and click "Edit" to change the value to native. Click apply then OK to exit.
Best,
Meredith
