Hi, a bit of a noob here, so please bear with me if this is an obvious fix.

I used POL to install AOE2, went perfectly, no problems. However, when I go to launch the game, I get the ever unhelpful "Error in main
Age Of Empires II: The Age of Kings crashed."

I'm running Linux Mint 15 Olivia (Cinnamon) with Wine 1.6, the latest version of POL (4.2.1).

The bug report doesn't seem very helpful, but I'll include it:

Also, I tried running it directly with Wine, and got this in the error details:

Hey, Welcome fellow Mint gamer!

Since you are using Ubuntu 64-bit operating system and games are mostly 32-bit, its a good idea to install the 32-bit libraries for Linux.

Here is a good article on multiarch and 32-bit libraries: Mint multiarch

You will have to use the Terminal to apply these libraries, but they are definitely necessary for playing games in Wine.

Multiarch installation
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
