Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

if your on apple /linux use steam proton to run it on the system.

All the reports point to Age of Empires 2 DE not working with Steam Proton. I have checked with the WK developer and he said there is no intention to add the DE balance or Civs to WK.
voobly+WK is great on all Platforms and there are Open Source implementations of the AoE2 engine being made. Don’t be sad we don’t have DE. The game will live on and eventually we get the version of it that we deserve.

Please don’t buy it in the hopes that it will work one day, this will only reward the behaviour.

voobly+WK is great on all Platforms

Does this mean that you’ve found a way to play voobly AoE2 on mac?

No. Wine won’t work on macOS Catalina 10.15 but older Versions should be fine. Play on mac might make it easier. I only have tried voobly on Linux.

Here is a guide. People in the comments that have problems seem to be on Catalina which is officially not supported. Wine will detect it and not run on it.

In order to get WK running you have to install HD first.

WK is really amazing but the way to play the game now imho is DE. DE still is buggy but imho the best available version of the game.

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is a real-time strategy video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft. Released in 1999 for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh, it is the second game in the Age of Empires series. An expansion, The Conquerors, was released in 2000.

The Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages and contains thirteen playable civilizations. Players aim to gather resources, which they use to build towns, create armies, and defeat their enemies. There are five historically based campaigns, which constrict the player to specialized and story-backed conditions. There are three additional single-player game modes, and multiplayer is supported. Despite using the same game engine and similar code to its predecessor, development of The Age of Kings took a year longer than expected, forcing Ensemble Studios to release Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome in 1998 instead. The design team focused on resolving significant issues in Age of Empires, but noted on release that some problems remained.

Reception of The Age of Kings was highly positive. The significant number of new features was praised, as were the gameplay improvements. The Age of Kings received «universal acclaim», according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. Three months after its release, two million copies of The Age of Kings had been shipped, and it topped sales charts in seven countries. The game won multiple awards and is today considered a classic of its type, having had a significant impact on future games in its genre. The original Age of Empires II and the expansion pack were later released as The Gold Edition. Age of Empires II is now considered one of the greatest games ever made.

In April 2013, Age of Empires II: HD Edition was released on the Steam digital distribution platform for Microsoft Windows. The HD Edition includes the original game and the expansion The Conquerors, as well as updated graphics for high-resolution displays. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, a definitive remaster, was released in November 2019.

Age of Empires II is a real-time strategy game that focuses on building towns, gathering resources, and creating armies to defeat opponents. Players conquer rival towns and empires as they advance one of 13 civilizations through four «Ages»: the Dark Age, the Feudal Age, the Castle Age (being the High Middle Ages), and the Imperial Age, reminiscent of the Renaissance—a 1000-year timeframe. Advancing to a new Age unlocks new units, structures, and technologies, but players must first build certain buildings from their current age and then pay a sum of resources (typically food and gold).

You don’t need to rename the launcher, its interface is behind a black window. Use exposé!
If the map is black, add «-nostartup» to the launch options.

Hmm, this might be an OS-specific thing. I’ve updated to Mountain Lion since I made this page and still can’t play the game unless I rename the launcher (after that it works fine).

And yes, you NEED to do -nostartup. I meant to type that in the OP but forgot, so I’ve edited it! Sorry about that, guys.

Hi Aeneas, thanks for the guide. When I first ran aoe, Steam gave me some error about the SSE not being compatible, but that mysteriously went away on its own. Now, when I click «play» nothing happens. A window that says «Preparing to launch» appears briefly, and then nothing. If I keep clicking «play» a bunch of times, then a window pops up telling me that the app is already running. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Oh wait, I never mentioned changing the Windows version to 7 under «Configure Wine», not that I’m sure if it matters. I’ve updated the OP to include this in step 3. Try and see if that fixes it for you.

Sorry, I did the original post from memory! I hope this ends up working for everyone.

«Sorry, I did the original post from memory! I hope this ends up working for everyone.»

I tried changing it to Windows 7 and there was no change. Then I got desperate and uninstalled Steam and started over. Now it works! I still changed the settings from XP to 7 so I dunno if that made a difference or if I just messed it up the first time. Either way, thanks!

I’ve gone through and done everything you recommend, and I’m STILL getting the black map screen within the game itself. Steam within Wine won’t let me right click on the games, so I added «-nostartup» as a launch perameter in my normal Mac Steam application, but the problem has not been fixed. Any advice? I’ve got a MacBook Pro, OS 10.8.4

Startup parameters are on a per-computer basis. If you add -nostartup on the Mac Steam, it doesn’t transfer to the WINE Steam since they are considered different computers.

If you can’t right-click games in Steam on WINE, that’s a problem I don’t know how to fix. You can still add the -nostartup parameter by editing the Steam preference file. I looked in my files and found the file that stores the startup parameters:

(path to WINE prefix)/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/userdata/(some number)/config/localconfig.vdf

Open it in TextEdit. I found where in the file the startup parameters are stored. Search for «Valve» in TextEdit, and this should be the only place where it shows up. Now, sorry about this, but I have to dump this in here so you know what I mean:

«Software»
<
«Valve»
<
«Steam»
<
«apps»
<
«440»
<
«LastPlayed» «1344322800»
>
«4760»
<
«LastPlayed» «1378427337»
>
«8930»
<
«LastPlayed» «1370727654»
>
«221380»
<
«LastPlayed» «1378440942»
«LaunchOptions» «-nostartup»
>
«4700»
<
«LastPlayed» «1377054051»
>
«4780»
<
«LastPlayed» «1377536485»
>
>
«LastPlayedTimesSyncTime» «1378440647»
>
>
>

Notice that there are other apps that have no launch options. Just add that «LaunchOptions» «-nostartup» line to all of your apps since none of the other ones in your WINE Steam matter, and save the file. This should change the startup parameter properly, but whether or not that will fix the problem is a different story. Hope it works out.
