Citation needed. In my experience, running AoE2HD in Wine results in strange mouse errors at the start of a match which can ruin a game (where the screen is stuck scrolling to one side).
Pretty sure that was one of several bugs I hit after release back in 2013, on Windows.
The mouse bug seems to be gone for me (it was mainly triggered by alt-tabbing out of the window). It still has an issue with text not being rendered properly while typing.
Doesn't it compile natively on Linux?
Fairly sure that AoE2HD was only released on Windows.
