            Bug ID: 40906
           Summary: Age of Empires 2 HD is no longer playable after the
                    latest game patch
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.13
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: flaviozavan at gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

Age of Empires 2 HD used to work fine on wine. The appdb page shows a long list
of success cases. However, after the last game update, it is unplayable, two
different errors occur:

If you try playing a scenario, the game just crashes.
If you try a normal single player game, it says "Waiting for players"
indefinitely.
I did not try multiplayer with this.

I obviously  tested this on a clean prefix. I also tried using wine 1.8.2,
which was reported successful on the appdb page, and was able to reproduce the
bug, so I do not believe this is a regression.
The developers provide access to older versions of the game via the steam beta
system. If I set mine to patch43 (or older), the game is playable again, which
functions as a quick workaround, though it renders multiplayer unlikely.

When looking at the output on the terminal, nothing caught my attention, but I
have no idea what debug flags to use. I'll happily provide more information
once I know what can be useful.
