Bug 25256 was determined to be the overlay renderer, so I don't think its this
signing issue. As well, I'm not sure all source games have this signing yet.

This bug was from well before singing was ever implemented from valve.

Although it seems like its a constant battle to keep source engine games
launching on wine, from the numerous issues, I think this one can be narrowed
down to valve's new DRM.
