The thing I found with Steam games that it's easier to navigate to a game's
executable and open a terminal and type "wine <game name>.exe". 

I've found that launching games' executables directly from their directory
works better than when Steam tries to do it.

Also, keep in mind that launching a game via Steam also runs the risk of Steam
installing runtimes or redistributable files into God knows where.
