[Bug 9567] New: steam crashes when installed to user' s home and there is a dosdevice symlink to /home/user
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9567 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(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: michael.s.gilbert(a)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. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9567 --- Comment #3 from Michael Gilbert <michael.s.gilbert(a)gmail.com> 2007-09-02 19:13:58 --- ok, i see wine "h:\games\steam.exe" does work as i expect. steam now detects that the h drive has the same free space as my home partition. why not either make wine autodetect the correct windows path or just fail when passed the unix path? thanks for your help! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
