Symptoms

I cannot create a local LAN server on Age Of Empire 2 on my PC but all works fine on my SteamDeck.
It's stuck on the loading screen with "Creating LAN Server". I've try to reinstall the game, move it to another place, delete the prefixe, changing proton version (9.0, 10.0, experimental).
Also i have already tried with the firewall disabled. I really don't know what is going wrong.

Reproduction

Just start the game and click on multiplayer, host a game and then select "Use local lan server" in the server dropdownlist.
