I'm quite new using Ubuntu. I already installed Age of Empires II The Forgotten Empires using wine. The thing is that I cann't run it through the direct access created on desktop. I installed PlayOnLinux too, but I don't know how to run the game. Can anybody help me? Thanks

Good news, I haven't tested everything yet but i've managed to get this working in PlayOnlinux and start a game in 17.10.1:
- Open PLayOnLinux and select 'Install a Program'.
- Steam will minimize once you are logged in. The 'Wine System Tray' will be open in a different window, find it and double click the Steam icon to open it.
- Go back to PlayOnLinux select 'Tools' on the toolbar at the top and Select 'Manage Wine Versions'. Wait a few seconds for the list to populate. On the x86 tab select '3.3' and click the arrow to move it to the right side.
- Still on the configure menu go to the tab 'Install components' and install 'd3dx9' and 'vcrun6'.
- Go back to the 'General' tab and select 'Make a new shortcut from this virtual drive'. Find 'AoK HD.exe' and select Next.
- When it goes back to the shortcuts list, select 'I don't want to make another shortcut' and click next.
16.Download a copy of vcrun 2015 x86 from here. In the Miscellaneous tab of the configure menu select 'Run a Windows Executable (.exe) file in this virtual drive'.
