I'm playing Age of empires II HD with DLC!!! Once in steam, right click the
game and click on 'properties'. For set launch options in the first tab enter
"-NoStartUp". Then browse local files under the local files tab and change
'Launcher.exe' to 'LauncherBak' and change 'AOE II.exe' (or something similar)
to 'Launcher.exe'. you are basically just changing the executable file steam
needs to run to start the game. This should fix all launch problems. if this
still doesn't work, you might need to look into installing  other wine add-ons
(DirectX, Direct3D) as these can sometimes help run certain games.... I can't
help you with those though. let me know if this works!!!!
