Start the game with proton steam play activated.I thoroughly enjoyed playing the original AoE - it was fresh, innovative and a joy to play - not too frenetic, but not too laid back either. PS: I have a double graphics card setup, the NVIDIA is the second one. Unfortunally, i don't know what i exactly did. The game worked before, this issue happens since I installed some bumblebee things.

When the title screen starts, the game breaks (Also happens when i bypass the launcher).

I also tried different version of proton such as 3.7-8 beta, 3.16-4 and 3.16-6 beta but none of these even start the game up. I tried different Environment Variable options in the launch option such as PROTON_USE_WINED3D I installed libvulkan1, mesa-vulkan-drivers and vulkan-utils but it didn't help I have a AMD card so I upgraded it using the oibaf repository at ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers to get the vulkan stuff working. Frequent cause is an old or corrupted driver." Gives error "Initialization Failed Direct3D initialization failed.
