An update on Linux playability (fix for black box units)

Hello, these are my settings in Lutris: https://i.imgur.com/kMgc3KV.png

Things that work:

• Movies (art of war, campaigns)

• Multiplayer (no longer desyncs into the game)

• Mods if installed from the website

Things that do not work:

• Sometimes it crashes, but this is fairly rare

• I can list the mods but the game will crash while loading mod info still

• When starting a game all the units and buildings are black boxes (fixable!)

FIX:

You can predict if the last bug is going to occur based on the FPS of the sparks in the main menu. If the FPS is low, then the bug is occurring. If unsure, start a single player game and check.

When this happens: Quit the game, go to your system manager and search for "steam", kill ALL processes which are listed (this should include AoE2DE.exe).

Restart the game from Lutris (you must NOT exit Lutris beforehand). This should fix it within 5 tries.
