Battle-Server-Manager

The launcher is a tool that allows you to launch the game to connect to the LAN server. It also handles configuring the system and reverting that configuration upon exit.

Minimum system Requirements

  • Windows without S edition/mode (recommended):
    • 7 on x86-64 (10 or higher recommended).
    • 11 on ARM.
  • Linux with kernel 3.2 (5.10 or higher recommended):
    • x86-64 (recommended).
    • ARM64.
  • macOS Monterey v12 (Sonoma v14 or higher recommended):
    • Intel (recommended).
    • Apple Silicon. Required for AoE II: DE native Steam version in Launcher.

Note: If you allow it to handle the hosts file, local certificate, or an elevated custom game launcher, it will require admin rights elevation.
