Hello folks,

Steam refuses to launch another game because AOE Ii HD did not correctly close.

what do you mean? Another instance of the same game (AoE II HD) or another game
from the same prefix?

I can't reproduce this, the game exits fine and restart via launcher or Steam
main menu works every time.

This game has a problem with VC++ 2012 redist (and DX) runtime which trigger
installers every time on startup.
VC++ 2012 suffers from bug 17273 hence the hang which blocks further startup.

There is some misinformation about this at Steam forums itself (suggesting
renaming "Launcher.exe", adding "-nostartup" or deleting "_CommonRedist").

You can work around by pretending VC++ 2012 installation as follows:

--- snip ---
$ wine reg add
"HKLM\\Software\\Valve\\Steam\\Apps\\CommonRedist\\vcredist\\2012" /v "x86
Update 2" /t REG_DWORD /d 0001
--- snip ---

Judging from your comment in bug 35211 (you're share the same WINEPREFIX with
multiple games, requiring different prerequisites) the bug is most likely
invalid.

Regards
