#Aoe 3 initialization failed series#

sorry for all the pre-including a series of winetricks calls for a game installer/updater has nothing to do with microsoft licensing, they already use similar tricks for thousands of other games both on and off windows, ever see that occasional window that pops up saying 'Installing Microsoft VC Redist Package'?.

might be Nvidia specific problem? But installing wont hurt on other cards.

d3d9x fixes shaders, without it only the low shaders work without significant errors.

I3codecx fixes some video stuff supposedly, I haven't tried without it.

mfc42 and winxp is needed to fix the CD Key input.

corefonts used to be needed, but isn't in proton 4.11-9, you can install it anyway, it won't hurt, and doesn't seem to make a difference.

Protontricks 105450 mfc42 winxp l3codecx d3dx9 NOTE 2: if you have to reinstall protontricks, you may have to manually delete the protontricks file due to permissions, in my case a simple pipx uninstall couldn't remove the file.ДЄdditional note that installing pip seems to be required to use the recommend pipx installer. Additionally protontricks should work regardless of distro, and there's support for the steam flatpak. NOTE: installing protontricks as sudo gave me problems in ubuntu 19, but installing as normal user worked fine. I seem to have gotten my install working flawlessly, tested singleplayer, multiplayer, and various graphics settings. # Start Age of Empires III, enter the product key and enjoy Rm -r '$/protontricks 105450 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts # Wipe out wine prefix directory to get a fresh one.

In this folder you find file called user_ or something similar. Path to this folder is something like this /home/arzardk/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7. You can obtain log file if you running Proton with user settings, which you can find in your /home directory.

You need to attach game log file and your system specs via github gist to this issue. The DLL could not be found!
