Official Linux/MacOS support

[robotox1 2]

I don't know why the official version of AoC2 can't be run from Steam on Linux (or MacOS). We can use PlayOnLinux to emulate, but there is very better way. This game has been written in Java, so we can run it without any problems by .jar file from game directory. It's works fine, better than PlayOnLinux emulation, so I really do not know, why there is only official Windows support on Steam

 

I've made tutorial How to play AoC2 in Linux ->

If you are trying to run the game in Linux, just use steam proton, it works perfectly lol (Still, running the jar file gives you better performance) however, if you are running on macOS, I believe you need to run the jar file for the game to work.

Also, Lukasz still has more important things to fix in AoC2, the linux userbase is pretty small, so he is probably not adding support for more systems lol

You can play normally this game if you activate on steam play on proton in all games, non officially too and if you write ProtonDB in the google search bar, you can write on the site the game that you wanna play you can know if your game can be on Linux. see https://www.protondb.com/app/603850

In the context of macOS, it is necessary to execute the jar file in order to ensure the functionality of the game.
