Well this is the case. (I thought this ticket was over--I'm glad it is not). I
could spend several hours downloading games on the windows version of steam.
When I have playonlinux going, it says steam for windows needs to be installed.
So it installs it. Most of the time everything works in the UI for steam for
windows (under wine) until I restart Linux. Then for some reason when linux
boots back up, everything in the steam (windows version) is broken. The entire
UI is non-functional, and all the games are dead in the dirt. Its like (each
time after linux starts) I have to re-open PlayOnLinux, have it reinstall steam
for windows, then re-download all the games just to play in that session. I
just know something isn't right, and since WINE is suppose to make windows apps
work on steam, I feel this is somehow an issue related to WINE. I'm not really
sure who else to go to, since Steam support tells me Steam for windows does not
run on Linux unless its ran through WINE. I know there is a version of Steam
for linux, but no windows games can be downloaded or bought for the Linux
version of Steam. I hope I was more detailed this time. I re-reviewed my last
posts and I didn't think I was clear enough. Sorry about that.

The UI breaks, Everything is forgotten, games no longer work (click the links
to say "South Park Stick Of Truth (for windows)" game does nothing. Click the
steam icon for windows version of steam--steam loads, but the UI is nothing at
all. It is still doing it. tested in 1.9.21... It just won't do what it is
suppose to. So still I'm stuck using Microsoft windows to run windows games on
windows and the windows version of steam on windows--forever I am stuck with
windows :(   ---- I really would love to switch to Linux SOOOOOO BADLY!!! :(  
Its just too bad games are always produced by windows. But thankfully you guys
help make Wine so great and others work on PlayOnLinux--hopefully in the future
these two software will be so good we all can play our windows games on
linux...

Anyways. I hope this issue is resolved soon. I will test again next version.

P.S. I don't like windows...
