Overview

With the recent addition of a transparent web proxy to my network, Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition was failing to install mods and other content. Thankfully, it uses an openssl- style root bundle file so I can just add my root certificate to it!

cat /etc/ipa/ca.crt >> /home/bgstack15/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/AoE2DE/certificates/cacert.pem

It is possible to run this game in Steam using Proton. The guide I used is on reddit.
