What's Changed

Relevant changes since last stable version

Launcher fix: if multiple servers are found and the last server is choosen it no longer ignores the selection and starts a new server.
Launcher fix: agent returning error when only reverting the CDN mapping, updating internal state and returning the proper exit code.
Launcher fix: reverting certificates in case of error in config-admin now correctly prints it's successful and return the successful exit code.
Launcher fix: if an unexpected error occurs it is printed and no longer returns a success exit code.
Launcher enhancement: better error handling.
Enhancement: added ExtKeyUsageClientAuth as the original certificate has it.

Fix: panic (workaround) when reloading certificates in rare instance.
Fix: not reading processes PIDs correctly, required for the main binary and launcher-agent.
Fix: installing a certificate now has a fallback if moving from temporary directory to the final directory cannot be done.
Fix: finding a process when the process calling is normal and the one being queried is admin. No longer config incorrectly waits 30s for config-admin-agent to start.
Fix: using the \n line ending when editing the hosts file (instead of \r\n as windows uses).
Enhancement: added extra steam installation paths.
Enhancement: reduced uncompressed archive size by ~10%.

Note: If you are using Antivirus it may flag one or more executables as virus, this is a false positive.

The verification process ensures that the files you download are the same as the ones that were uploaded by the maintainer.

Download the ageLANLanServer_1.7.2_checksums.txt and ageLANLanServer_1.7.2_checksums.txt.sig files.
Import the release public key and import it to your keyring if you haven't already.
Verify the ageLANServer_1.7.2_checksums.txt file with the ageLANLanServer_1.7.2_checksums.txt.sig file.
Verify the SHA-256 checksum list inside ageLANServer_1.7.2_checksums.txt with the downloaded archives.

Windows Optional: You may need to add the launcher/server binaries to the exception list of your Antivirus
Windows Optional: Unblock the .exe files as explained here
If not using the Steam or Xbox launcher, edit the launcher/resources/config.<game>.toml file with a text editor (like Notepad) and modify the Client.Executable section to point to the game launcher path.
You will need to use a custom launcher (plus what my other repo provides) for 100% offline play.
Execute launcher/launcher_<game> script: you will be asked for admin elevation and confirmation of other dialogs as needed, you will also need to allow the connections via the Microsoft Defender Firewall or any other.
Repeat the above steps for every PC you want to play in LAN with by running the launcher, the first PC to
launch it will host the "server" and the rest will auto-discover and connect to it.
In the game, when hosting a new lobby, just make sure to set the server to Use Local Lan Server (AoE II),
select LAN before creating the Lobby (AoE III) or select the "LAN" menu option (AoE I). In AoE I/II, setting it to public visibility is recommended.
If the lobby is Public, they can join directly in the browser or you can Invite friends by searching them by name and sending an invite as needed. You can share the link to join the lobby automatically (only works if already in-game).

Look for the Troubleshooting if you have any issues (or QA for any doubt), create an issue or look for other related issues.
