AoE II HD black screen problem

Solution 1:

  1. Open a terminal

  2. Move to the directory where your game is installed. (If you are using wine, it should be something like ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Age of Empires II HD/)

    cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Age of Empires II HD/
    
  3. Execute:

    wine "AoK HD.exe" -nostartup
    

    Where AoK HD.exe is the name of the game binary file. It could also have another name, it depends on the version of the game.

  4. Enjoy!
