--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
--- quote --- Steam refuses to launch another game because AOE Ii HD did not correctly close. --- quote ---
what do you mean? Another instance of the same game (AoE II HD) or another game from the same prefix?
I can't reproduce this, the game exits fine and restart via launcher or Steam main menu works every time.
This game has a problem with VC++ 2012 redist (and DX) runtime which trigger installers every time on startup. VC++ 2012 suffers from bug 17273 hence the hang which blocks further startup.
There is some misinformation about this at Steam forums itself (suggesting renaming "Launcher.exe", adding "-nostartup" or deleting "_CommonRedist").
You can work around by pretending VC++ 2012 installation as follows:
--- snip --- $ wine reg add "HKLM\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2012" /v "x86 Update 2" /t REG_DWORD /d 0001 --- snip ---
Judging from your comment in bug 35211 (you're share the same WINEPREFIX with multiple games, requiring different prerequisites) the bug is most likely invalid.
Regards
