Summary: steam crashes when installed to user's home and there is
a dosdevice symlink to /home/user
Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.44.
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-binary
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: michael.s.gilbert at gmail.com
i prefer to install games to my home directory, rather than the .wine
directory. however, there is a problem with Valve's steam application when
doing this.
i've set up a symlink to my home directory (so that steam will see the correct
amount of free disk space on that partition)
$ ln -s /home/user /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/h:"
to repoduce this bug, install steam (http://www.steampowered.com) to
/home/user/games. also make sure you've set up the symlink as above. then run
steam with
$ wine /home/user/games/steam.exe
you will get the error
Steam - Fatal Error
Fatal Error: Could not load module 'bin/vgui2.dll'
note that the problem does not occur if the symlink to /home/user is not set
up. however this isn't a solution because steam will refuse to install games
because it thinks that the free space on my / partition is the free space on my
/home partition.
thanks for all the hard work on wine.
