Recently I’ve created a Windows XP WINEPREFIX and installed a bunch of my old games on it. One of them being Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome, with UPatch 1.1 Release 4 applied.
The patch brings mp3 music to the game, but the game isn’t playing it.
I’ve installed all the Wine dependencies under pacman -Qi wine
and I’m running wine-staging. Winetricks is also installed.
Is there anything specific I need to do to get Wine working with mp3 music in games?
Try to set prefix as Windows 7, that alone probably should fix it

No, it should work as is though…
So it’s probably specific game or setup problem

Lutris as launcher, right?
Why do you use lutris-git
instead of usual lutris
, perhaps it’s the problem?
Other than that, not sure what else to advice, perhaps someone else would know better

Not using Lutris - the games are individually installed on a Wine prefix. I installed Lutris just to see if I could get Warcraft III running (which was a disaster lol).

Is your system playing MP3 in general (outside wine)?

Maybe installing mpg123
solves your problem (if not already installed). Read it in a wine related thread somewhere.
