Hi Luke,
At the moment, I seem to have more success if I do not close the games list
just before the game starts. That used to work, but now it seems to make it
worse.
Keeping the mouse over the games list does definitely help a bit, I did notice
it certainly starts more often if I do that.. but I noticed that running sync
at the right moment really does boost the chances of it starting. But you must
do it before the button greys out, and not too much before either.
:-)

What works for me, is to launch a game from the menu, and leave the mouse over
the main Steam window until the game has loaded, that pretty much never fails,
whereas taking the mouse of does.
It is also possible to close the window just in time if you get used to how
long it takes the game to start and close it right before.

The way I have been getting around this for the last few months is hitting
Alt+F2 in KDE and typing sync at exactly the right point to flush the disk
cache. It's a little hit and miss but it seems to greatly improve the chance of
getting the game to start.
I've now got the feel for doing it at almost exactly the right moment, which is
about a second and a half before you feel the cancel button is about to grey
out on the "preparing to launch" window.

Created an attachment (id=8646)
--> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8646)
Display view
An desktop looks like that when starting HL2 Episode2:
wine start hl2.exe -dxlevel 80 -console -game ep2
Wine viersion 0.9.47, Gentoo-i686, video GF7900, nvidia-driver.
I fix this by switching to windwed mode (with some artifacts) and back id
fullscreen again.

(In reply to comment #26)
> i don't think my patch from comment #19 is correct.
Why is that? If you apply the patch before installing the game then it fixes
the problem. From running tests with CreateFile it looks like there are only
three possibilities for the appropriate permissions:
{G_RW, G_R , FS_RW, FS_RW, ERROR_NONE},
{G_RW, G_W , FS_RW, FS_RW, ERROR_NONE},
{G_RW, G_RW, FS_RW, FS_RW, ERROR_NONE},
Since the place you changed actually doesn't do any writing I would say the top
option is the most appropriate (GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE), the second option probably would not work
because of other code, and the bottom option would be more permissions than
necessary (this is the method implemented in your patch). The only other issue
would be CREATE_ALWAYS vs. OPEN_ALWAYS, which MSDN indicates should be
OPEN_ALWAYS since the profile file should be created if it is not found and
opened if it is found.
