This is an old game, so I wouldn't be hoping for it to be on Linux too much. There are some programs that let you play Windows game on Linux, like WineHQ[www.winehq.org].

Steam released a statement a while back stating that as they port these older games to the Steam Play system there will be no set rhythm or schedule to them. It could seriously be next week, or next year...

What I find curious is that Stonghold HD runs flawlessly on linux through steam (even though it only has a windows flag in the store). Since Crusader was only 1.99 today I went ahead and got it only to find that it is not similarly enabled, despite the fact that the engine and code must be very similar. Seems like an easy add, anyone from steam reading?!?

It works! While they may not have "officially" added it to steam play, if you find the game in your library and right click on properties...

Bottom of the first screen use the checkbox to "Force steam to use compatibility...."
Select Proton 3.16-9 (picked this one as it seemed to be what Stronghold 1 is set to by default)
And run it!

Working fine for me on a 2015 Celeron based Laptop with 4gb ram running Peppermint 10 (lightweight Ubuntu variant).

I honestly didn't know this was even an option and may likely work for *many* other "windows only" games. Maybe we need to start a forum for combinations of games, compatibility settings, hardware, etc that are known to work.

THANK YOU CLOWNRAZER

Using proton as you mentioned worked like a charm I am running Stronghold Crusader on a backup laptop with Linux Zorin OS 15.3

I second this. Does anyone know how to use multiplayer though? I cannot connect to Multiplayer games, even after checking integrity of game files it doesn't work
